Story

I'm quite sad to hear about his death. My favorite Don Knotts role was Mr. Furley on "Three's Company".

EDIT- I meant to say in the title that he passed away but I guess I forgot to.

I've loved the actor, Don Knotts, ever since I was a little kid (and let me tell you, it's been a long while). I clearly remember laughing my ...., well, I laughed a lot at Deputy Barney Fife. The way Don was able to be so nervous, antsy, clutzy and just so excitable used to leave me in stitches.

I also remember one of his movie roles, The Incredible Mr. Limpit quite fondly as I went to see it with my older brother. He was supposed to be "baby-sitting" me but really he was on a date with his girlfriend. I remember bugging him during the entire movie for popcorn, candy, pop, you name it, just so I would leave him and his girlfriend alone in the balcony of Detroit's Redford Theatre. Ahhhhh, fond memories of being a "pesky little brother" and of enjoying Don Knotts.

Don will be missed.

BT and TC,

Excellent movies both!

I'm trying to remember the name, it was an old black and white with Don Knotts involving a haunted house scenario ... ah-ha ... now I remember.

The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, now that was classic Don in all his anxiety-ridden, shaking in his shoes, bug-eyed glory.

Yes, he will be dearly missed!

Did you watch the Oscars? they did their annual tribute, a montage of movie clips, to actors who passed away the previous year. No Don Knotts!those snotty Hollywood jerks!
