The fact that Allan Melvin played Barney on "All in the Family" got me thinking about all the Barneys on TV: Barney Fife, Barney Rubble, Barney Miller, Barney Gumble. I'm probably missing a few. Yet, I have never known a Barney in real life.

Pleshette had that fabulous voice, and she was a very handsome woman with a knack for comedy.
As for Barney:

I'd forgotten that it is a derivative (or dimmunitive) of Barnard.
