America's favorite deputy gone

[BoatBuoy]

"Don Knotts, the saucer-eyed, scarecrow-thin comic actor best known for his roles as the high-strung small-town deputy Barney Fife on the 1960s CBS series "The Andy Griffith Show" and the leisure-suit-clad landlord Ralph Furley on ABC's '70s sitcom "Three's Company," has died. He was 81."<br /><br /> http://www.latimes.com/news/nationw...s-obit,0,6517299.story?coll=la-home-headlines

Don Knotts was terrific, he will forever be known as Barney Fife to me, he personified all of his acting roles as memorable and likeable characters, we have indeed lost a treasure

His facial expressions and manerisms were just hilarious. I enjoyed his acting. Sad to see him go.

Poor fumbling Barney. Mr. Knotts played that character perfectly. They can always have a new James Bond, but there will never be another Barney.
