While we all love Barney, we do make a good bit of sport of him, and for good reason. But I put my bucket on and got to thinking that Barney the Beast really is worthy of our respect as a legitimate law officer. He was right on lots of occasions. For example, he was right that the Mayberry Security Bank was ripe for being robbed. He was right to ticket the governor's car. Barney also "manned up" when it was called for. He got rid of those farmers selling produce by the side of the road. He insisted on going with Andy to go after the escapee who'd previously threatened him. What are some other examples of Barney being right or manning up? I think ol' Thel really did get a prize. She's the cats, and he is too.
