Well I guess I'll jump in here and "hang on!"'The subject of Barney's cavorting is too irresistible not to comment on. LOL Though we actually don't know, I choose to think, Thelma Lou didn't know of Juanita and Barney's interludes. Putting myself in Thelma Lou's place, I certainly wouldn't wink at that sort of behavior out of "My Guy" whether I had a ring, bracelet, promise, or whatever. Thelma Lou and Barney had been "a couple" for quite some time. Gomer said "Thelmer Lou & Barney, Barney & Thelmer Lou"! I for one think he was cheating..... but as for the reasoning???? We do know Barney was very childlike in so many areas and he sometimes called Juanita to get even with Thelma Lou after the two of them had had a spat. Other times he called her very possibly when he and Thelma Lou weren't seeing each other as often. He did have that right since they had no commitment. No doubt about it though.... He was playing a LITTLE STINKER GAME and Barney lost that little game!! There is a lesson there....No? All in all, you had to love Barney and we all do. As for the writers trying to make it seem humorous when Barney acted in such a way, though it really wasn't humorous, we laughed as we sometimes laugh, out of our children's hearing ,when they do some of the dumb things children do. We knew Barney was heading up a fool's hill and we just sat and watched for his fall. YA GOTTA LOVE HIM ! Yu'all Have A Mayberry Day!
