I am thoroughly enjoying reading comments posted but as a newcomer, this is my first post. bcq145 had it right on the money regarding Thelma Lou's deep love and acceptance of Barney. Another time I saw the same feeling of care and protection for him was the one where Barney has taken up residence in the back room of the courthouse, having been kicked out of Mrs. Mendlebright's rooming house, and Opie is standing beside Barn trying to tell him of the movie just seen with his dad. Barney has his head hidden in the files trying not to let anyone see his multiple lipstick marks planted there by an amorous Thelma Lou. Take a look at her face. It speaks volumes of her deep love for his good man. Good point too about Helen and Andy. I too don't see the same depth in the close ups. Helen comes off as more self centered than Thelma Lou. Yes, Thel and Barn are the perfect pair.
