Modern TV repeats a Barney Fife staple phrase There is a Top-rated show on television called "The Big Bang Theory" Setting aside the fact that most shows today don't follow the morals of the Andy Griffith Show, I like watching this one.
The Two main charactars are named after the great Producer with connections to TAGS--Sheldon Leonard. The Character Sheldon played by Emmy-winner Jim Parsons is kind of the wacky Barney-Fife type. You will remember that Several times Barney used the Phrase when doing something silly "What's a matter? Haven't you ever seen a man...." One of the most memorable ocassions was when he took off the dress he was wearing to case the bank as Mrs. McGruder's sister and said to Tom Jacobs 'What's a matter, haven't you ever seen a man take off a dress before?" OK, so last night, Sheldon is performing several tasks so his friend Howard will perfrom a favor involving his idol Steve Hawkings. He walks int a rooom full of people in a french maid uniform (short dress etc.) and says "What's a matter, haven't you ever seen a man trying to impress Steve Hawkings before?" Ir was classic Barney. I could see Barney in that maid's uniform LOL. it couldn't be a coincidence..someone had to know What a great throwback.
