Ok, so I am 25 and I am the only person I know that is a big fan of the Andy Griffith show. Call me crazy but I love that show and I had great respect for Don Knotts. Maybe he was a cornball deputy Fife but he had an outstanding acting career. RIP man thanks for the laughter.
LOS ANGELES - Don Knotts, who kept generations of TV audiences laughing as bumbling Deputy Barney Fife on "The Andy Griffith Show" and would-be swinger landlord Ralph Furley on "Three's Company," has died. He was 81. Knotts died Friday night of pulmonary and respiratory complications at the University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center
