Well that's too bad. Was he sick or something? Or just old.

[Eleazar]

Respiratory failure is all they said.

Andy can I put my bullet in?

[Skip Towne]

I'll bet he had low sugar blood content.

[Rain Man]

The Reluctant Astronaut - a modern classic. And who can forget that unusual and creative The Incredible Mr. Limpett.

Are you drunk or just a bad speller? 'Cause Barney Fife would have busted you for either.

Ahhh, another piece of childhood slips away....

[Eleazar]

When I first got my DVR, it recorded the suggested programs and some of them were Andy Griffith, which I hadn't seen in a long time (I'm 26 so I don't remember the original show), but it was cracking me up.

The one where Barney buys the motorcycle and is using it in his police work was hilarious.

[stevieray]

IIRC, he won the Emmy six or seven times in a row for his role a-s Barney.

a fav episode was when the state raised the weight and height requirements, and he was hanging by the neck in andy's closet trying to stretch himself.

[Frankie]

He's someone I knew would someday day...
WHA?!! :hmmm: :shrug:

[Ultra Peanut]

Hush you.

[ROYC75]

A vert talented actor........ so sad to hear this.

The Shakest Gun in the West was another classic....along with The Ghost and Mr Chicken ..........

[Braincase]

RIP

[Megbert]

R.I.P. Barney. Growing up I saw Andy Griffith every day on 41. That show and Dick Van Dyke still make me laugh.

Won the Emmy 3 times in a row. Played Barney for 5 years.

Must have missed that one. Sounds hilarious. :deevee:

"The show ran from 1960-1968, and Knotts won an unprecedented five Best Supporting Actor Emmys in a row as manic deputy Barney Fife"

I've seen every single episode numerous times. I can tell you what they are going to say before they say it.

I must've misheard the story on NPR.

[gblowfish]

Now the only reminder we'll have of Don Knotts is Mick Jagger.
They look exactly the same.

Dont forget "Herbie goes to Monte Carlo" with the unstoppable duo of Dean Jones and Don Knotts.

RIP Barney and Mr. Furley....You will forever live on in reruns on TBS and TVland.

My parenting icons and the models for my fathering style were his character from Christmas store and the Dad from Calvin and Hobbes.

Another hilarious episode was when Barney went undercover in Weaver's Department Store, trying to catch a shoplifter.

No, he was dressed in a hunting outfit, I believe, and posed as a mannequin.

[Nightwish]

Yep, he touched several generations! RIP, Fearless Fife!

[Demonpenz]

More evidence Mick Jagger is Don Knott's love child:
