For the past year or so I've spent a few hours a week watching clips of these old shows from the 50's, 60's and 70's. Superman, The Untouchables, Lost In Space, Beverly Hillbillies, Combat, Hogan's Heroes, Dark Shadows, Gunsmoke, Petticoat Junction, Lassie, Andy Griffith, All In The Family, Columbo, The Rockford Files....the list goes on.
And I've come to one conclusion: TODAY'S TELEVISION SUCKS.
@bullfrog1954 I agree. They don't make shows like this anymore, and it really is a shame. Everything these days have really been trashed up. It's characters like Barney Fife and Gomer Pyle that makes comedy comedy.
One of the BEST shows of ALL time! Nobody does it like this anymore, and it's a pathetic shame!! Now it's all sex and skimpy-dressed women-NO substance! Didn't need a TV rating system back then!
Barney Fife-one of the most memorable sidekicks ever!! We can ALL relate!
Don Knotts will always be the most hilarious entertainer ever!! This series was probably the best for all time and ever!! When they brought this back / put it on cable, I about died laughing my a** off!!! Thanks for not letting it be forgotten!!
The best Barney Fife moment is when he is "teaching" Opie to use a slingshot and breaks that glass in the station. Then he says in the Bible, a slingshot was used by David to slay Goliath. Andy says it's just a sling and Barney gets frustrated as hell. For some reason I was laughing so hard I was in tears.
@dbmrhi St. Peter has now retired from his duties at The Pearly Gates with full peace of mind, safe in the knowledge that Barney Fife now stands vigil. With ticket book & pen close at hand, gun at his side, and bullet in his pocket, Barney stands ready to carefully scrutinize the records of the scofflaws who skipped putting a dime in the parking meter, or the town hooligans who littered the streets, or the outlaws who dared to imbibe in their barnyard stills.
Andy was the original goof. The laugh-getter. But, when it had become apparent that Barney was really getting most of the laughs, Andy stepped back and became the straight man. Then the formula was complete. The writers must have had a ball writing material for Barney. Everything from the sidecar incident to citizen's arrest. And Barney's on-going attempt to be Jack Webb in Dragnet. This is classic comedy.
This was good but u missed two moments from "The Big House". One is the rules at the rock speech and the other is the gun speech at the end where he breaks the glass
If you are familiar with Wikia.. check out the Andy Griffith Show Wiki. It's like Wikipedia, but it's Wikia. It's a VERY awesome site, where me and others have worked so hard to make it the go-to guide for all things TAGS (and R.F.D and Gomer Pyle USMC). It's the Mayberry. Wikia. Com (not the Wikipedia site) but the WIkia one. Stop in, and see all the hard work we've done! :)
I'm watching a movie on t.v right now starring Don Knotts called "the reluctant astronaut" Based on that NAME along I knew this movie would be filled with the greatest sucker nervous lemon goofy actor of all time. And in fact, I don't think there will ever be an actor as good at playing a character as Don Knotts was at just being himself. An absolute legend and my favorite. Everything he says is funny. Everything.
@leonardnimoylover1 yeah thinking about it now i guess that's not even remotely possible...just kinda reminded me alot of him :-P thanks for clearing that up for me
I'm thirteen and this is one of my favorite shows. LOVE IT! Don Knotts is pure walking talent. So is Andy...all the characters are great! We need more shows like this! Today's TV shows are trash. LONG LIVE THIS SHOW!
Hi Michael, this is just the very best tribute I've ever seen on you-tube, can't wait for you to make another one. I love Don Knotts he is just so hilarious and cute too.
Not sure who decided these were the "funniest" moments, but that person obviously has no concept of humor or familiarity with the comic brilliance of the Andy Griffith Show.
im 14 and i love don knotts funniest actor ever!!!! im going to watch the andy griffith show marathon today on tvland R.I.P. don knotts there will never bew another actor like u
@emmysue20 These clips were not taken from a DVD. I would have to know more about what kind of problem your having with uploads to be able to help you. Feel free to send an email :) -Michael
You know, as great as this was, you would need about 30 minutes to even BEGIN to capture all the hysterical moments with Barney! Thanks for a great trip down memory lane!
This show by far was the best. Barney high strung but his best friend Andy always giving him his space and dignity. This is an eternal message to us all. Plus it was the most hilarious of all time When barney got his character honed in. The honey mooners second in my opinion. Don Knotts we miss you and of course rest in peace, as I'm sure you are.
I'm surprised that Barn ran around with Juanita (who worked down at the diner as a waitress) when he had a regular gal (the sweet, lovely & down to earth Thelma Lou). His Barney Fife character was the funniest second banana in the history of TV. What a talent...sad that he's no longer with us. THANKS for posting this collection of hilarious scenes!
ha there was another line in the episode i saw the other day where andy said "i told you there was gonna come a time when i'd have to move on" and barney said "well i didn't think you meant nothing like quitting...i thought u just meant dyin" hahaha loves it
@nixthetiger agree their chemistry together was just amazing.....atlough it was hard to replace barney...i think waren did a great job replacing such an important character
Barney Fife, an American Icon. A beloved TV personality, a likeable sort, and from a time of our youth which we all hold dear. I really liked Don Knotts. Yeh, so he was a little poofy but he never hurt anyone and made us all laugh and smile at least once in our lives. RIP there Barney, Incredible Mr Limpet, The Shakiest Gun in the West, The Reluctant Astronaut, Mr. Ralph Furley. One of my favorite classic TV actors!
Oh Dear Barney you drive my blues away, I love you so. At 1.19 it was soo funny, well all of it is, never a dull moment, in my fav and classic playlist.
best tv show EVER. Thanks. These old shows were funnier and better than ANYTHING today and did NOT have to be vulgar and dirty to do so. There really isnt ANYTHING like this on tv today....and not only were the shows morally and ethically right, They actually had life morals. BY the way, i am 33 NOT 63. Raised up watching these reruns and still watch em. Loved by generations thru-out Dixie and beyond all these years later. A great show about small-town Southern life. AMEN
I agre:also todays sitcoms depend heavely on using pre recorded canned laughter in a constipated effort to be funny. Todays Script Writers just RIP OFF ideas and remake classic movies and tv shows
Do you have the one where Barneys tests Otis stamina with Barney jump'n up & down one foot then the other and of course Otis outdoes Barneys wears Barneys down to a frazzel Just too funny I'll look for it or please bring it to my attention Thank you very much Grasspa
The Andy Griffith Show is one of my favorite shows ever produced... and Im 16.

Thanks for your effort. Did I ever laugh. To me he was the best supporting actor ever in the classic era of sitcoms.

Barney Fife was one of the best TV sidekicks ever created. The only one who may be his equal is Ed Norton (The Honeymooners).
