It looks like Don Knotts did double duty. First he served then he entertained. With all the trash on tv that I won't let my kids see they can view any of the shows he did, no questions asked! I wish there were more people like him in the business. A man of values.
Thank You Mr. Knotts.

So true, Don Knotts was from a time when what was on TV was truely entertaining. Today's shows either get their ratings from violence, attitude, sex, or the misery of others (reality shows) and send a mostly inappropriate theme or message, if they send anything at all. Back in the day when Lucy was trying to slip something past Ricky, and Deputy Fife was keeping the streets of Mayberry safe, the underlying message was stable family structures and unity, the ability to laugh at ones self without lashing out at others over false pride, the betterment of the community. The simple answer of what is right and wrong, hardley what we have today.
Don Knotts came from a better time, and has gone to a better place. God Bless.
