Summary
[edit]DescriptionDon Knotts Barney and the bullet Andy Griffith Show.jpg | Photo of Don Knotts as Barney Fife from The Andy Griffith Show. Barney is seen here loading his pistol with the only bullet he was allowed to have. It was kept in his uniform short pocket in case it was needed. Whenever Barney loaded his gun, it would either go off while holstered, fire into the ceiling, etc. |
Date |
circa 1960 date QS:P,+1960-00-00T00:00:00Z/9,P1480,Q5727902 to 1965. The photo was distributed by publicity firm Rogers and Cowan. A search at Commons turns up quite a few photos from various television programs sent out by the agency in the 1950s and 1960s. The PR firm's letterhead shows no zip code and its phone numbers are in alphanumeric form and not all numeric. If the photo had been sent out by Rogers and Cowan in the 1990s, it would have a zip code, the phone would be shown as all numbers and there would be a fax number in addition to the regular telephone lines. en:Don Knotts played the character regularly from 1960 to 1965. He believed the television show would only last 5 years, so he signed a contract to do film work. The storyline was that Barney had gotten a job with the Raleigh, NC, police force. Knotts periodically guested on the program as Barney Fife, but after 1965, he was no longer in a Mayberry uniform, etc. on the Andy Griffith Show. The later date stamps appear to have been use dates by the newspaper who had the photo on file. |
