This cache is dedicated to Barney Fife my favorite character on the show! He made the show and added to its popularity which is still popular today. Barney Fife, played by Don Knotts, was a hyperkinetic and comical. Barney was generally viewed as a blowhard, he was smug and self-confident until a real-life situation arose, then he would become exasperated. He was known for being overly analytical or overenthusiastic about any benign situation. He would often take a simple situation and blow it out of proportion and create some elaborate plan to resolve it. This typically caused the situation to worsen and call for Andy to bail him out of trouble or smooth the situation over. Most of the townspeople lost their patience with Barney during these times. However, Barney was well-liked and respected almost as much as Andy.
Don Knotts, the man we all know and love as "Barney Fife" was born in Morgantown, West Virginia on July 21st, 1924. He began his career at the age of 13 as a ventriloquist. He attended college at West Virginia University where he studied speech and drama.
Don Knotts won 5 Emmys for his role on "The Andy Griffith Show."

Song written about Barney
"Oh, My Darlin' Barney Fife"
(Sung to the tune of "Oh, My Darlin' Clementine")
In a jailhouse, down in Dixie, fightin' crime and risking life,
Dwelled a sheriff and his buddy, pistol-packing Barney Fife.
Oh, my darlin', oh, my darlin', oh, my darlin' Barney Fife.
He's a deadly crime-stopper, what a copper, Barney Fife.
One day there came a-ridin' two bad men to rob a bank.
But Fife was tricky, a dead-eye dickey. Now they're locked up in the tank.
(Andy added this part:)
Oh, my Barney, oh, my Barney, had a jail and couldn't lock it.
Had one bullet for his pistol, had to keep it in his pocket.
