    My favorite movie that starred Don Knotts still is “The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.” Don shivers and shakes in fear but eventually becomes a hero. It is truly fun family comedy.

      My favorite movie as well. I remember one time in the movie when he was talking on a microphone to a crowd of people when the sound made a loud ringing noise. When the ringing noise was over he said the sound person must be a Democrat LOL.

      Actually, in real life he suffered from anxiousness, having had a rough childhood - a kid who just wanted to be happy, and make others happy too, with his comedy; he even sent his own daughter guffawing out of his hospital room on his own death bed.

    No one could have done what Don Knotts did in developing the character of Barney. He gave us new insight into this character on a regular basis. I loved the beauty of the on-screen relationship between the simple yet complex deputy and his boss, the sheriff. No matter how many times I’ve seen an episode, I can still fall in love with a rerun when I come across one.

      i live in the town where they filmed the Return to Mayberry movie, & during that time they changed the sign on our post office to read,"Mayberry" well, my stepdad was offshore on a diving job & when my mom picked him up at the airport, on their way home he always had to stop at the PO to check the mail, my mom(apparently having a devious streak) on their way to the PO told him "oh, just so u know, while u were gone they changed the name of our town to Mayberry" (she said she really had to struggle not to smile) well, he was tired, was only half listening, or something so it didn't register, it was late & my mom casually pointed "see" up to the Mayberry sign on the Post Office, she said he jumped out of the car swearin, wtf! stomping his feet, mutherf*ckin this & mutherf*ckin that & geezus how in the hell...who the f*ck would change the name....to f*ckin MAYBERRY?l?!!& on & on & the more my mom laughed the more he stomped around in livid disbelief, & my poor mom, she's one of those people u don't want to be sitting next to if u aren't suppozed to laugh, the more she's not supposed to, the worse it gets, the convulsions, anyways, i wasn't there but my mom loved telling me that story,

Sadly, I have lost my two brothers within the last year and a half. What makes it worse (in my mind), is that she still lives. I am sorry to hear that Don endured abuse as well. I just don’t understand causing pain to children.

      I loved Don Knotts so much. As a young kid, I watched Three’s Comoany for Mr. Furley & Jack Tripper (in that order). LOVED when Mr. Furley drank alcohol then said, “SMOOTH.” With the hands up. Classic! I didn’t watch The Andy Griffith show much until I realized Barney was Mr. Furley (I wasn’t even 10 yet at this point). Don Knotts is so awesome. My other favorite role of his was The Incredible Mr. Limpet. As a kid, I wanted so desperately to live in the ocean. Watched that movie as many time and as often as it would come on. Whenever we’re at Disneyland (California Advemture) & we go on the Little Mermaid ride, I look for the Mr. Limpet fish they put in as an homage to Mr. Knotts. Warms my heart. Thank you for doing this piece on him.

    I only saw him on television.. Yet, I was amaze at how talented he was.. When I read about his demise I was very sad. I felt his loss. A man I never knew in person.. I was lost and hurt and I cried like I never cried before .. It was a cry from my heart!!.. I wish I could have met him in person, and talk to him.. Yet, my financial limitations never allowed me. .I just wanted to meet him and.. let him know that he was the person that made me laugh in the most terrible, dangerous, worst and sad times of my young life.....He was an exceptional actor and now I am learning an exceptional man, father and friend. His family should be very proud of him!! for I am; and I am not related to this wonderful comedian.. I give thanks to God for placing him in my path! RIP Don Knotts.. you will never be forgotten.. I just wish to meet you at least on the other side.. If there's any!

    Having grown up in the '60's with Don Knotts as a common place fixture on TV, I couldn't appreciate him. Even knowing what I know, now, he was such a natural that it's hard to conceive the energy he put into every second on the screen to make us all laugh.

I didn’t say Reba loved Melissa Peterman although I saw an interview Reba did about 2 months ago and she said she loved and kept in contact with all the cast members and she said “Melissa was one of her very best friends in the world”. Her words. Plus, they are trying to figure out everyone’s schedules because they want to do a reboot or at least, a reunion special.

    My favorite Don Knotts role was Barney Fife. Over 60 years later, I still remember the one bullet deputy, and his choir performance using the “special” (aka silent) microphone became part of my family’s litany of jokes. He was a comic genius. Still love him for his humor contributions to my life from childhood and beyond. RIP Don Knotts 🙏🏽😇🙏🏽
