R.I.P Don Knotts
Don Knotts
Just heard he died this morning. I certainly enjoyed his portrayal of Barney Fife as well as "The Incredile Mr. Limpet" and "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken". Not an Olivier or Burton but an enjoyable actor nonetheless.

 For one of the funniest actors I can remember, always had me laughing especially when coupled with Tim Conway in "The Apple Dumpling Gang"

I loved those times on Andy Griffith where Barn got all important serious and started lecturing Andy. Or the times he'd draft a bunch of townies, like Otis, Gomer, etc, for some special mission and get all puffed up telling them what to do.

No actors today are like Don Knotts or any other actors that were on the 'good' shows that are now on tvland. Even though i am young, i have been watching tv land since i was 12. Just like nothing new is made as good as vintage, neither are actors today as good as actors from the 'good' shows era. I even have a tin portrait with the men of mayberry including Don Knotts, Jim Nabors, Andy Griffith, and Ron Howard. Don Knotts will be greatly missed.

I read that Andy Griffith was at Knotts' bedside with this family when he passed away.
If you've not seen it, do yourself a favor and watch the movie No Time for Sargeants, which Knotts and Griffith did together before the TV show. I think the Broadway play of that was the first time they'd worked together. My grandfather loved the Andy Griffith show, had a cat named Barney after Barney Fife. Ugliest tom cat ever, looked like he'd lost every fight he'd been in with the scars to proove it -- Foe
