@Traumatoast On his deathbed, actor Edmund Gwenn was asked if dying was hard. He replied "Dying is easy, comedy is hard". People tend to dismiss comedians as thespians, but here is a perfect example to the contrary. Don Knotts was a superb actor, and is as close to Bogart's mea culpa ball bearings testimony in The Caine Mutiny as anything you'll see. He evn momentarily LOOKS LIKE Bogey near the end here. Just a terrific portrayal by Don....may he rest in eternal peace.

Gotta love the internet. For some reason this scene popped in my head today (I'm a big fan), so I turned on my computer, typed in "Barney Fife Drama", and presto. Thanks for posting this.

I had the opportunity to tell Mr. Knotts about this being my favorite episode at dinner with him in Cincinnati back in 1998...I was a 3rd generation law enforcement officer...My father taught me the way to properly enforce the law...this is the lesson learned here. Actually all aspects of life should be the same...treat people as you would want to be treated. "Go not so much by the book...but by the heart" I love this .

@Traumatoast I sent this to my county Sheriff. He had no problem with it.

I always liked this scene because it shows that Barney is aware of his bragging and completely lets down his guard for the only time i believe during the run of the show to defend his friend. There is none of his typical Barney Fife mannerisms during his questioning. He tells it like it is for real. Don Knotts was brilliant. The writing is fantastic. What a great show!

Jon Cryer reminds me so much of Don Knotts.
I should send this link to police departments around the country. They might learn something about humanity instead of how to tazer 72 year old grandmothers.
