RIP...

I heard the news about an hour ago. This is a day I did not want to see come. Those who know me know that The Andy Griffith Show is my favourite TV show (we watch it at least once a day) and Don Knotts was a big part of that. He was, in my opinion, the greatest TV comedy actor ever, and a fine gentleman. I met him once and he was as personable and nice as I could have hoped for. At least I have that (and an autographed photo).

I am so sad. God bless Don Knotts.

Barney Fife was the man! It's a sad day indeed when good folks like him are called away and dregs like Ashton Kutcher are still around stinking up theaters with their tripe.

RIP Don; you will be missed. :(

so sad indeed, he will be missed. He really was a joy to watch.

I loved Don Knotts. Most of the younger guys don't have his comic gift.

How sad. I LOVED his movies when I was a kid (still do).The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, The Shakiest Gun in the West and The Reluctant Astronaut were my favorites.
RIP Don, you'll be missed.

You know what, I really am sad to hear that. He was always hallarious in Threes company and Andy Griffiths and I watched Plesentvill so many times (He was the TV repair man) And thought his apperance in 8 Simpal rules before John Ritter died was the funniest thing in the world.

Farewell Mr. Knotts, you well be missed.

The Ghost and Mr Chicken was one of the funniest movies ever!

The younger comedians today adore him - and were so inspired by him. Jim Carrey only wishes he could do a "nervous take" like Mr Knotts!

We have lost one of the great ones.
