⭐ Featured Review

A character more obnoxious than Barney Fife
by DrPhibes19642024-11-16
3/10

"Without going on a long rant about how absolutely obnoxious and unlikable Barney Fife is I'll just leave it there, but he is upstaged in this department by Cousin Virgil. The premise of his constant bumbling wears thin very quickly and every time he gives that insipid "I'm sorry" , followed by that goofy smirk you'd like to see Andy drag him out of town. It becomes very repetitive and you know that at some point he will "redeem" himself with some hitherto unseen ability. This is not by any means the worst of the series but it's one that I will skip over...."
