Don Knotts (1924-2006)

and what can be said about Don Knotts that hasn't been said before? he died Friday night of pulmonary and respiratory complications on Friday night.

The man was an absolute giant. he was quite possibly one of the funniest comedians that has ever graced a television screen and was one of the staples of early television. His role as Deputy Barney Fife is one of the classic all time television characters. the role would not have been so memorable had Knotts not played the role. he also had an underrated stint on Three's Company as Ralph Ferley, a role that i would say helped keep the show afloat after the Norman Fell and Audra Lindley left the show for a spin-off. He was a great character on a mediocre show.

Don Knotts will truly be missed by all that enjoyed the humor he brought to the world.
