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 I'm sure a team 
of attorneys are looking over all the options.  Who knows, maybe it'll happen 
years from now.
