As i collect movie/actor photo's with real Autos as well as baseball cards, a true comedy legend has past away. Barney ( Don Knotts) you were the best!!

He is one of my top 10 ALL Time favorite characters in Barney Fife.

The first time I saw him was on the Steve Allen Show - I think they called it the "man of the street" skit and he was very nervous and when asked if he were nervous - he would reply - "Noop!"

And for those who remember "No Time for Sergeants" - he had a small but memorable role as an Army physical dexterity testor - when Andy Griffith couldn't get the rings together - he "bent" them together!
It's funnier to see!

For us older guys here - it's a sad time - to see our childhood TV heroes playing their final roles in life.

barney fife will live forever. several years ago when my daughter was only seven we got into a discussion who was the better second man, don knotts as barney or art carney as ed norton. now this is a question that great scholars could debate forever, but she answered barney because he could be serious in his role when norton never was. while either answer is right i was proud of her for knowing the characters so well at a young age.

For the newer generation they could relate to Mr. Furley on 3's Company. Those suits he wore were classic!!

I saw the "man on the street" skit on TV when they were doing his biography on A&E channel. Very funny skit.

I broke out my Andy Griffith Show DVD Seasons 1 and 2 and laughed my butt off. He was the best.

Anyone remember The Ghost and Mr. Chicken. I remember watching that as a kid, was Don Knotts at his best.

I became more of a Don Knotts fan when he was on Three's Company. But, I can appreciate his earlier work as well. Very good at what he did....makin' people laugh!

RIP Mr Knotts!
