Barnie Fyfe and I go way back.
Great comedian, he played by all the rules and never went "blue". He got his laughs the old fashioned way.
I pretty much quit watching the Andy Griffith Show back when he left, and now, in the cable age, I immediately abandon the reruns that he isn't on.

Been there. I was born and raised in the same mountains, about 90 minutes from Morgantown. The guy was the genuine article.

I just bought the last of the Barney seasons. Now I have season one through five to watch any time I want. He was so fantastic on that show. He wasn't so great on Three's Company, but... still! I also like his silly movies. I think I have most if not all of those too.

Wah ah ah nee ta
So long, Barney.

Darn, another treasured childhood memory gone...not only did I watch Andy Griffith regularly, I saw most of his movies growing up. The Ghost & Mr. Chicken, The Reluctant Astronaut, The Incredible Mr. Limpet, The Love God - all good stuff! We'll miss you, Don.

I grew up watching him on Three's Company and thought he was great. Perhaps its perspective. Apparently the Three's Company producers spent a while looking for a 'Don Knotts' type before they realized they can get the real thing.

Wasn't Andy Griffith the star of The Andy Griffith show? Definitely not, in my book. Without "Barnie" and "Opie" the show would not have lasted through the first season.

I just read to Mr. HR the part about Andy Griffith being one of his last visitors on Friday night, and we both teared up a little, I think.
We've shared many a laugh during our marriage over Barney, and we laugh every time even though we've seen each show countless times.

This is a sad day. Don Knotts starred in one of my all time favorite films, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken. Brilliant, brilliant comedy.
Atta boy, Luther!
