Don Knotts died over the weekend, so I figured I would take this opportunity to share with you some of my favorite Don Knott's quotes (as Deputy Barney Fife) from the Andy Griffith Show:
This line is from episode 27 where Barney is supposed to go out to see if Aunt Bee needs some help, but can't quite leave yet.
And this line is uttered when Barney gets tricked in the station house in episode 49.
My favorite line of all time, though, happens in episode 70 after Barney and Andy spent a long day rounding up some stray cows that were wandering around Mayberry. Of course, they are dusty from a long day rising horses so they go and shower off the dirt and grime. The line perfectly captures the ensuing transition in their relationship.

Don Knotts was a comic genius.
Everyone should go watch The Incredible Mr. Limpet or The Love God? right now.
I hope Don is resting in peace. we are in the same fraternity. you rock Don!!!
"Nip it in the bud" was one of Barney Fife's most famous lines. Nancy Reagan almost used it for her "War on Drugs" but went with "Just Say No" instead.
Two words: Loaded Goat.
You tease, I thought this post was going to be about Knotts landing.
It is sad about Don, I love him and the show. I can whistle the intro tune perfectly!
When I was little The Andy Griffith Show (reruns - I'm only 29 for the love of God) came on right after The Little Rascals. I never really liked the show much, but I'd always keep the TV on that channel just long enough to watch the starting credits. I loved the whistled tune and the narrator's jovial voice.
I did love Don Knotts, though. My memories of him are all from that cheesy Three's Company. Mom didn't let us watch that one, so as soon Nick @ Nite came around as an adult, I was all over that shit. Was there really any comparison between Mr. Ropers? I think not. That guy's face was a contortional masterpiece.
tits: will do
carl: true dat
uebermilf: it's probably good that they didn't have a slang term for weed (bud) in their antidrug slogan
mcd: thankgoodness for barney's harp
tumbleweed: I am a tease!
nikki: while I don't have a face that is a contortional masterpiece, I do have a funny face.
You mean you're not Joey Lawrence?
nikki: both fortunately and unfortunately, i am not joey lawrence.
Thank God.
And Damn.
true dat.
