Re: Don Knotts' Early Radio Days

Ken, you can read more about Don's radio work in his own autobiography ("Barney Fife and Other Characters I Have Known") and the newer "Andy and Don" book. What's also interesting is that when Andy and Don first met, Andy recognized Don's voice from the Bobby Benson program and asked him if he

RE: Don Knotts' 5 Emmys

Gee, the things you don't knowall these years we thought Don Knotts held the title for most wins playing the same character but I'm here to tell you that just ain't so. Parade magazine announced that he ties Candice Bergen for her five Emmys on Murphy Brown. Well, I suppose any way you look

RE: RE: Don Knotts

To those of us that are lucky enough to be from West Virginia, Don was more than Mr. Furley or Deputy Fife. He was a kind, gentle, humble and much beloved as a native son who never ignored his roots. At the time of his passing, there were numerous stories of how he never forgot home and

Don Knotts PASSED ON The comedic actor spent many years on The Andy Griffith Show from 1960-1968. But it was his role as landlord Ralph Furley on Three's Company that he will be remembered for. He died on Feb. 24, 2006 from complications due to lung cancer. He was 81. What was this person

Re: Don Knotts, dramatic actor?

***I don't think Don Knotts had a lot of dramatic acting roles although he did appear occasionally on various?TV series. If a person possessed the talent for comedy like our lovable Barney Fife I suppose there would?be no need to expand to other areas of acting.*** Actually Vic one of Don's

re Dixon/re Don Knotts

Some people in the younger groups Don't know The Andy Griffith Show and/or Barney Fife but do know Three's company and Mr. Furley so I can understand those groups thinking that Don Knotts is best known as Mr Furley but those are minority groups because Tags is still very popular throughout and

Re: don knotts, clint howard, andy griffith

First congratulations to Andy Griffith, for his induction into the hall of fame. Secondly, I think the story of Don Knotts is very inspirational. I had forgot his first name was Jesse. Also, in the episode where Peggy has a friend come over named Don, was really funny when Andy tells Barney

RE: Don Knotts Stories

That's a great story! I remember from his book that he had several brothers - I wonder who is living now? A man I work with went to school (college) with Don, although he said that most of their classes were different. He has a similar 'cut' to him that Don seems to have had - that 'just

I was in Los Angeles last week and had the honor of visiting Don Knotts' gravesite.  Admittedly it is probably not on most people's Top 10 places I want to visit while in Los Angeles but for me it was certainly well worth taking the time to pay tribute to the man who single-handedly brought

Re: Don Knotts statue

Evidently the issue isn't the cost, it's the Don Knotts estate releasing the rights to his likeness. CBS was apparently willing to do what they could (and they own TV Land). They own the rights to the Barney Fife character, but the Don Knotts estate own the rights to the actor's likeness and

There are bargains to be had in many places but let's not forget that none of us would be enjoying this forum or any of the other TAGS web sites if not for the relentless efforts of Allan Newsome. Maintaining web sites takes a great deal of time and does not come without cost. So when you are

Re: Don Knotts on That '70's Show

Hi Folks, I've been reading the digest for a long while now, but I didn't want to jump in till I had something to say! :} My wife was watching That '70's Show last night, and Don Knotts made a very brief appearance as an imaginary land lord (via Mr. Furley) in a day dream sequence. He
