I remember when he played Mr.Furly on Three's Company. He's was an old man, but yet he was a pimp.

R.I.P. indeed.

It is one of the funniest movies he did. As a kid I watched it every halloween.
Also, I have grown up watching Andy Griffith and I still do even though I'm 21. Its so sad.

tomorrow you can find me rolling down 'don knotts blvd.' in his honor. he graduated from my school (west virginia university) and he is still a legend in this town.

[dukeboy1986]

Barney Fife is my all time hero.

[KidLightning]

I'm glad you took a second away from Fall Out Boy news to post about Don Knotts. Best guy ever.
way to be a fucking douchebag...you take the memory of a cultural icon and turn in into some emo-pussy-scarf-and-sweater-vest wearing vendetta...what the fuck is wrong with you!?

this site posts fall out boy news as it comes in, just as it does with every other band in the scene. it's hardly ap.net's fault (although i won't deny that this site had a hand in the band's success) that FOB has this many stories posted about them

just don't be a dick and represent with some love for once...

[quiksilver21k]

he was one of my most favorite actos of ALL TIME. i watched all of the shows he was in during my childhood. I will miss you a lot don.

[oldskool]

Actually just watched an episode of the Andy Griffith show the other day, obvisously not the first time, but first in a LONG time. Anyways it was the one where opie finds a wallet with $50 dollars in it. Great Episode. Shows back then were soo good, people actually had morals, what a concept. It was a wholesome show for all ages, and a timeless classic. Now days t.v. is smothered with sex and violence and it is really sad. This ones for you Barney, my mom and I love the Andy Griffith show. Thank you for the laughs.

[GRIFFARD]

another funny guy gone for......... rest in peace

[snowtires]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooo

[kallok]

Sucks he died, but it had to happen sooner or later. At least he had a long carrer and many hits such as Andy Griffith, The Incredible Mr. Limpett, etc.

[MaDeMaN FiAsCo]

Mr. Furley is dead. :(

[VGB]

Word to whoever mentioned incredible mr. limpet and ghost and mr. chicken, Don Knotts was a great comedian and voice actor, who gave us all some great stuff to laugh at. Time to go pick up that 4 pack of movies now. :(

[CROMagnon]

oh man, i loved him
he was excellent in three's company
