I grew up in London watching a New Mexico lawman chasing crooks up a New York alley on his horse. My wife did the same, on her Dad's knee... in Tokyo.
Loved him in "Duel".

Loved all those shows, but still get the willies from that Twilight Zone episode where he's always dreaming he's on trial and going to be executed.....

As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

"Marshal McCloud" and "Deputy Fife" -- within days of each other, and both 81.
Thanks for the memories Mr. Weaver and Mr. Knotts.
Yours in Budo,

You know, not since Chris Farley has a celebrity death impacted me so much as Don Knotts dying. I truly loved him, and not just as Barney Fife. I also loved Dennis Weaver in Duel, excellent flick and if you've never seen it go out and get it now. The climactic ending is a must see. Be cool all.
