Where To Watch
How well do you remember Barney Fife's last episode as a Mayberry regular?
Can you pass this test, or will you flunk like Opie?
It's still hard to believe that Don Knotts jumped ship. His Barney Fife was a beloved character on The Andy Griffith Show — and a critical darling, garnering multiple Emmy nominations. But the comedian wanted to make movies. Hard to blame him, when he gave us chuckle-fests like The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.
The actor's final episode as a series regular came in "Opie Flunks Arithmetic." As the title suggests, the plot centers around the Taylor boy, but the story delivers a ton of hilarious Barney moments. Like when he suggests Einstein could have really amounted to something if he had stayed in school.
Because "Opie Flunks Arithmetic" marked the final time Barney lived in Mayberry full-time (his character would return a couple of times as a special guest in the color season), it sticks in the memory. But how well do you remember it?

Ooo! That is an impressive grade!

for me. I think I will have to give Andy and the citizens of Mayberry a rest for awhile because I
haven't seen this episode in a long time yet got every question correct.
The last time I saw "Man in a Hurry", one of the all time great TV episodes, the magic was gone,
I could recite the dialogue. And it's not like any series on network TV these days would offer
anything remotely as lyrical and moving as that episode. If anyone knows of a series that does
please let us know.
