    Who is Don Knotts or what does it mean?

    • Babs

      Are You For Real ?????

      • J Carani

        You forgot one: None of the Above

        It is hard to like stupid

  • Clint

    I love his role in "Private Eyes" with Tim Conway. His pseudo-Sherlock Holmes type character is a scream!!!

  • Trisha Johnston

    Don Knotts was a comic genius. His portrayal of Barney Fife alone would make him that. He was also a wonderful man.

    • Bryank

      Barney Fife is an icon! To this day I still laugh out loud at his antics!!

  • Hank Zangara

    Between Mr. Limpet and Pleasantville, I voted for the former, because the latter was only a cameo, not a starring role.

    • DIRK

      and Hank, who could forget his cameo in IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD opposite Phil Silvers! Great stuff!

      • DIRK

        Did I leave out a MAD -- I apologize to Stanley Kramer (director)!

  • Ani C.

    I always use that Mr Limpet noise when I want to shoo away a bad mood or feeling.

  • BRIAN

    I had to go with "Shakiest Gun In the West". I'm sure I have the word wrong, but he knew only one in that "Indian" dialect, "waatay?" said it over and over, only he could have pulled that off! I loved it!

    DON KNOTTS was a very funny man and a nice one, too.

  • Designer

    He is certainly best known for being "Barney" on the Andy Griffith show. Who else could base a career on the ability to drop a gunbelt from one's waist when attempting to draw a gun.

    "No Time For Sargents" was my selection. I haven't seen any of the Don Knotts films mentioned. The pure genius of Don Knotts' comedic timing and ability to give a solid performance is on display in the one and only scene he appears in opposite Andy Griffith in "No Time For Sargents." No rap against Nick Adams, but for all of his screen time in this film, he never brings the hilarity that Don Knotts (and the Corporal Psychiatrist played by Jack Mann) did in their respective one-scene performances. In this film, Barney Fife had one bullet, and he hit the bulls eye.

    "No Time for Sargeants"...believe it or not, there are actually guys like this in the army...as an aside, I once got arrested [in college] by a cop who could have been his clone.....it was like a real-life scene from "Animal House"....they're out there!
