This is sad news indeed: Emmy-winning actor Don Knotts died in Los Angeles last night from pulmonary
and respiratory complications.
Besides his role as Deputy Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show (he won 5 Emmys for the role), he also was a regular on Three's Company, and starred in classic movies such as The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, The Shakiest Gun in the West, and The Incredible Mr. Limpit.
If I were to pick my 10 Favorite TV Characters of All-Time, Barney Fife would be in there.
