Thelma Lou is a character on the American television sitcom ''The Andy Griffith Show'' (1960-1968). The character appeared in 26 episodes. Thelma Lou is Barney Fife's girlfriend and is portrayed by Betty Lynn. ==Overview== Thelma Lou lives in the community of Mayberry, North Carolina. She is Mayberry Deputy Sheriff Barney Fife's girlfriend. Thelma Lou appeared as a semi-regular character in 26 episodes of the ''The Andy Griffith Show'' from 1961 until 1966 when the character was dropped from the show. She appeared in the 1986 reunion made-for-television movie, ''Return to Mayberry''. ==First appearance== Thelma Lou's debut occurs in the first season episode, "Cyrano Andy". Barney and Thelma Lou are platonic friends but their relationship becomes, (and remains), a romantic one with Andy's help. ==Thelma Lou's telelife== Little is known about Thelma Lou's telelife, despite her impressive role in the series. It is uncertain how or when she met Barney. In one episode, Barney mentions he met her at a funeral. In another episode, it is mentioned that she attended Mayberry Union High, graduating in the same class with Barney and Andy Taylor. Aside from her romance with Barney Fife, she was given very little character development during the series' run. She was generally portrayed as a sweet-natured, somewhat touchy, caring person who genuinely had an understanding for Barney, despite his unbecoming antics and personality problems. She sang in the choir, lived in her own home, and was apparently employed and self-sufficient. Like most Mayberry ladies, she is an accomplished cook, being especially celebrated for her "cashew fudge" (a favorite of Barney's). Thelma Lou's last name was never given on the show. Her occupation is never revealed, but she mentions once that she "had to get back to the office." Prior to the arrival of Helen Crump in Mayberry, Lydia Crosswaithe is introduced as one of Thelma Lou's friends. Unfortunately, Lydia's extremely odd personality doomed an effort by Barney and "Thel" to arrange a date and possible romantic match with Andy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thelma Lou」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
