Who said it: Barney Rubble or Barney Fife?

Can you nip it in the bud, good buddy?

The Flintstones and The Andy Griffith Show premiered three days apart from one another. Both sitcoms featured a sidekick character named Barney. Coincidence? 

Well, yeah, probably. Both Barney Fife and Barney Rubble became immediate comedy staples. That was thanks to the many funny things they said.

But can you tell the difference between the Stone Age neighbor and the deputy? Are these quotes from Bedrock or Mayberry? Match the line to the correct fellow!

Watch The Andy Griffith Show on MeTV!

Weeknights at 7 & 7:30, Sundays at 5 & 5:30 PM
