Sadly, Don Knotts passed away yesterday. I joked about Don Knotts on my site and with friends, but I really did like the man. The Andy Griffith Show has been my favorite since I was small, so Barney Fife deserves a post, a thanks. Wakko Warner is surely in mourning, as are all other fans today. Many may disregard him because of his relative obscurity today*, but he was a great comedian, earning five Emmies while on The Andy Griffith Show. He wasn't limited to Barney Fife, though. I also enjoyed his wacky movies as a kid, including his brief appearance in No Time for Sergeants and his later role in Pleasantville. Don knew what he was doing, and he did it well.
*Although, he did lend his voice to an episode of Robot Chicken last year. Cool.
