Mr. Furley RIP

Barny
looks like you won't need that bullet anymore
 
I remember him and Tim Conway riffing off each other on the Carol Burnett show. That's where I first saw him. Then I caught a few eps of...what was it...Dyke Van Dyke show? Then as Mr. Furley in 3s Company. Great comedian.
 
I have always loved his character ( and Larry's ) in Three's Company. His mannorism was simply hilarious , especially the way he stared. Cracked me up all the time. Rest in peace , Mr. Furley.
 
I remember him on the Steve Allen Show. Steve would mock up these "man on the street interviews". They'd open the frame with a shivering twitching Don Knotts, and Allen would ask him "Are you nervous?" and he'd shoot back this startled, bug-eyed. "NOPE!" Still cracks me up.

His humor is timeless. My kids were as amused by my favorites as I was. The Incredible Mr. Limpett, The Reluctant Astronaut, The Shakiest Gun in the West, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, and the Apple Dumpling Gang.
 
Are they sure he was only 81? I thought he looked like he was about 70 when he was on Three's Company, and that was almost 30 years ago. Who would have thought he would outlive John Ritter?

Yup. I can still see him doing that.
 
Remember a Biography Channel show on him. Funny man with his share of heartache in the background.
 
I was too young for Barney Fife, but loved him as Mr. Furley.
