i’m glad our well-educated soldiers can laugh [...]

Don Knotts (1924-2006)

Don Knotts passed away earlier today.

The Andy Griffith Show is still one of my favorite TV shows.

Don Knotts, the skinny, lovable nerd who kept generations of television audiences laughing as bumbling Deputy Barney Fife on “The Andy Griffith Show,” has died. He was 81.
