I even loved your movies. The Ghost & Mr. Chicken is one of my favorites and the line I still laugh at to this day..."That aboy Luther". Rest in Peace. It will be a sad day when you friend Andy joins you in heaven for us here on earth but a joyous day for you both. The Andy Griffith show was and still is the best show ever, ever shown on TV.

I watch the show everynight after work and when it's not on tv, I put in a DVD of Andy and watch the shows. Don was the greatest! It's a show I don't think could ever be replaced. With Andy, they became a great pair which gave the viewers a great show to view now and forever!

People say I'm crazy but I don't care. My biggest hope in life is to spend three days in lock up. Aunt Bee's fried chicken and apple pie, Andy's songs and Barny trying to be tough!!! It doesn't get any better than that. Thank you Don and all for some very precious memories. Your are sadely missed.

And even with all that I still find my self laughing ever time I watch an episode or even crying some times. I consider Don Knotts one of the greatest comedians of all times. I also have a large collection of shirts with Barney on them as well as license plate for my car. We even named our little dog in memory of Barney. (He's little but he's wirey). My family also gets together every Christmas to play Andy trivia. Again thank you Barney for some of the best memories I have ever had and continue to have. You are truly missed.

Now my grandkids watch it with me and they know that The Andy Griffith Show is the only one that Grammy approves of! Sure wish America was still like that. It WAS like that when I was a kid. Andy and Don were both great. And by the way, have you noticed GOD was a big part of TAGS? Several shows even opened with Andy and Barney singing CHURCH HYMNS! How's that for politically correct??? GO ANDY AND BARNEY AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

It's genuine, warm-hearted humor is more compelling than almost all of today's pruriently-gratuitous sitcom fare. In short, I'll take TAGS in a heartbeat. And Don Knotts was as good as it gets...
December 31, 2007 - Msg 4765: I have always loved to watch The Andy Griffith show, I hope to continue to watch the reruns as long as It keeps coming on.

When I see the wholesome, Christian attitudes from the people on the show it lets me know that if the world was like that once it can still be that way. Don Knotts was the perfect companion to Andy's character. He had a suaveness all his own. Watching TAGS everyday (and sometimes more with my dvd's) brings me the Peace in my Valley I need.

Barney lived to make us laugh. I think tears will just not do. I don't believe the "chemistry" we saw between Andy and Barney has been, or will ever be duplicated. Thank-you Mr Knotts for all you gave me and mine through the years. You are missed and remembered. To live in the hearts of those left behind is not to die.

February 27, 2008 - Msg 4783: I Grew up watching the show. The show was a point of conversation for me with all of my family young and old. So in a sense everyone on the show felt like family and would have been welcome anytime. Barney was always a favorite, I followed him as his contracted ended and he went on to bigger and better things . I will always cherish Barn and the gang. I just want to say thanks for all the laughs, and the life lessons Barn. Thanks for helping me make great memories.

March 18, 2008 - Msg 4787: The Andy Griffith Show is still an important part of my life. I watch it atleast four times a week, and every time I forget about this world we live in today. The way Barny and Andy fed off of each other is what made this show so worthwhile to watch. Don you are missed.
March 24, 2008 - Msg 4788: Barney Fife is the greatest character ever created for TV sitcoms. I think about him often. I have always wondered like I'm sure many other fans have, what direction the show would have taken if Don had stayed on after the 65 season. I know the show would have ended someday, but I'll bet it could have run until at least Opie left high school. I miss you Don. You were the greatest!!

July 15, 2008 - Msg 4836: We will always miss Don Knotts and his character of Barney. It still brings peace and a laugh to our family. May God bless your family and thanks for sharing Don with the world. Jeff Roanoke, VA
July 17, 2008 - Msg 4837: The Andy Griffith show was a perfect blend of character chemistry portrayed by actors and crew who really loved and respected each other. A classic example of what can happen when the pursuit is quality in the art of comedic storytelling. God bless Andy Griffith who was the heart of it all. Norman, Jacksonville, FL.
July 21, 2008 - Msg 4838: Love, love Barney character that Don Knotts portrayed so perfectly. Such an underrated comedian! He was great and watch Andy Griffith whenever it comes on. Also have all the DVDs, Barney my fave character. Thanks Don for bringing so much joy to all of us.:)
July 23, 2008 - Msg 4839: Knotts was the best actor in Mayberry and the ghost/chicken western.

August 08, 2008 - Msg 4841: Andy: "What's that smell? Barney, you been paintin'?"

Barney: "Well, it's after shave if you wanna know!"

Opie: "Barney, look at my fish!" Sniffing the air Opie continues:"Barnie, you been paintin' something?"

Barnie: "Oh, you two are a riot, you are! You two oughta join the circus and go on the road. You'd be a real hit!"

Mayor: "What's that smell?"

Barney: "Uh," looking at Andy and then Opie, "Uh, I've been painting."
August 14, 2008 - Msg 4842: Thank you, Mr. Knotts, for giving us the most memorable character in television history. Yes, Barney Fife was a pretentious boob, but what I consider most important about Barney Fife is that he was always loyal to his friend Andy. And I suspect Don Knotts was the same with his real life friends.
August 16, 2008 - Msg 4843: Mr. Knotts, you were a great actor. I watch everything that I can with you in it. Your comedy is pure genius.
August 17, 2008 - Msg 4844: If I had a time machine, I would stop in Mayberry and just might not want to come back. Aunt Bee's cooking, Andy's hospitality, Barny's antics, a small town and small town people, can't beat it... 10 cent sodas, Oh how I wish I had a time machine. I would go back and we could have some great times Barney. Maybe even let you rescue me from the cave. Don Knotts, you nailed it, you couldn't have done a better job. No one could have, I never miss a moment of TAGS when it is on. No matter how many times I have seen it before. That is a pretty good indication of how well you played the part sir. I can't describe how much your missed. Rest in peace. You put smiles on a lot of faces for many years, you can't ask for a much better reward. Your a wealthy soul Mr. Knotts.
August 27, 2008 - Msg 4845: Don Knotts was also awesome in "Three's Company." Don and Andy really have a shared legacy, even if Andy is the brains.

Of course Barney was and is my favorite and always will be.He made the show and I couldn't watch the ones after he left, it just wasn't the same. Rest in peace Don, rest in peace.
September 08, 2008 - Msg 4850: I am a 56yr old lady that watches TAGS and say that Barney as done by Don Knotts was a real comedienne not like today, I long for those times and was only a child when I watched it.

They sometimes get caught up in it and stay to watch longer than they planned. There are always comments about the wholesomeness ,entertaining value and just right out good feeling you get watching Andy and Barn.On this day of remembrance of the most terrifying time in our country, I will put on my DVDs and try to bring some peace into our hearts by bringing back a sweet time and hopeful time .

It's the only TV show that you can watch and it works like a medicine, it lifts your spirit, soul and mind, you can watch a couple of reruns, that you've seen a hundred times and you watch with such joy, it feels like its your first time, you've ever seen it. I can watch a few reruns, and physical and mental feel so much better. I would tell anyone, if you're feeling low, just watch a few reruns to lift your spirits. Thanks a million, and as Red Skelton use to said, may God Bless! thanks! js

What I would have given to be a part of that show? I sit and think that eventually all of those wonderful actors and actresses will be gone and my heart breaks. There will never be another show anywhere near what TAGS was and my heart and love goes out to all of the wonderful people who put it together and were a part of it that made me laugh so hard I cried. I miss the ones that are gone already and cherish the ones still here. God bless you all. We love you !!
September 25, 2008 - Msg 4861: I watch the show every day and my 7 year old son watches with me. He is beginning a love affair with the show just like his dad. It was a fictional place but seems so real because of the great writers and actors that had a part in it. I can only hope my son enjoys the show as much as I have over the years, it never gets old. God bless........
September 25, 2008 - Msg 4862: Barn, you broke my heart when you moved to Raleigh(doggone the YMCA). But you broke my world with your passing. I still watch the show and imagine you and Thelma Lou getting old together in a little house on Maple Street. Thanks, Mr. Knotts for making it so real that I'm still there.

But I'm glad it didn't. If it did the show would seem outdated today. But by staying with it's successful format it proves that great comedy, great writing mixed in with lovable characters never become outdated.
