A very sad day. RIP Don Knotts.
My favorite episode: "Barney joins the Choir".
Thelma Lou hears that Barney is going to join the choir)
Thelma Lou: Barney's going to be in the choir? My Barney?
Andy: That's right.
Thelma Lou: But Barney can't sing.
Andy: I know.
Thelma Lou: He's a warm, wonderful person and I love him dearly; but he can't sing.
Andy: That's true.
Thelma Lou: He's kind, considerate, good-hearted - the most gentle person I've ever known; but he can't sing.
Andy: You're right.
Thelma Lou: He's the man I want to marry - the man I want to be the father of my children...
Andy: But he can't sing.
Thelma Lou: Not a lick!
That episode was one of my favorites too. My parents (for some reason) were never big Andy Griffith fans but i got them to watch that particular episode one day and they had to wipe tears from their eyes they were laughing so hard.
