Don Knotts 1924- 2006

I was saddened to hear that Don Knotts died at 81 on Friday.

From the wimpy Mr. Limpet, to the jumpy Mr. Furley, I will remember him best as the jittery deputy, Barney Fife.

Well I loved Andy of Mayberry and Barney. Those characters were a staple of my young existence.

Oh, me too. My youth wasn't just a blur of mind-warping science fiction. There was plenty of comedy, as well.

I was actually depressed after I heard he died. I LOVE Barney Fife!!!

I loved him in The Appledumpling Gang and Mr. Limpet.

"Oh, Ladyfish!"

He was the best.

I know. I think of Barney with his one bullet inside his shirt pocket and it makes me sad.

One thing that has been left out of the obit I read was his role in Andy Griffith's "Matlock" show. I can't remember his name, but I do remember Knott's played a foil for the Matlock character. Does anyone remember?

And proof that you don't need to be an air-head good looker to be a great actor. Should be more of it.

I remember watching him on the Steve Allen Show. We'll sure miss him.
