Barney apologizes?

I was told after all the times he bungled and screwed things up, Barney only apologized 1 time, Which episode was that and what did he do?

In all fairness, it was usually Fred who screwed things up.

…What?

Probably wasn’t due to Nick’s hash-brownies either.

I think it was the episode where he got drunk and ate three of the children. I definitely remember him sobering up, weeping purple tears over the gnawed bones, in the morning, but I can’t actually remember an apology.

Before this gets completely out of hand, I believe the OP is referring to Barney Fife on the Andy Griffith Show, and not Barney Rubble, Barney Stinson or Barney the purple dinosaur.

To be fair if I were an openly gay congressman from Massachusetts I wouldn’t apologize to anyone either.

yes , thank u… I didnt think about the others and should have been more clear , but this is only about my 3rd ever post to anything… so I am learning as i go… Yes it is Barney Fife on Andy

Oh…
Now my original idea for a post makes MUCH less sense.

<emily litella>Nevermind…</emily litella>

His rent boy was running a gay brothel out of his apartment while he was at work. If he didn’t apologize for that he’s not apologizing for nothin’! So there!

I think it was the episode where he got Aunt Bea pregnant.

Wow, he must have been hung like a Clydesdale to make that happen.

No, Left Hand of Dorkness was correct. It was the episode where he got drunk and ate three of the children. Major cast change that year. The tears looked purple because black and white sets back in the day had trouble with contrast, so they only looked purple. Aunt B’s pregnancy came later, after Opie’s voice changed.

I’m glad to see that you’ve apologized.

Come back, diaper!

I seem to recall Barney apologizing a lot… “I’m sorry, Anje”. He should have apologized more for mispronouncing Andy’s name so ofter.
