The world is a little less funny today
Only a few performers have been able to give us one unforgettable TV character. Don Knotts, who passed away today at 81, gave us two of the all-time greats: Barney Fife and Ralph Furley. And that's on top of dozens of other film and television roles, over five decades.
Knotts probably made more people laugh than any other person in history. Not a bad legacy.
