Topic: Actors/Artists DON KNOTTS, DARIN McGAVIN Are Dead
By Wind(up)bird on February 26, 2006 9:39 AM

Gifted funnyman and lovable boner Don Knotts has died.  He started out as the Deputy Barney Fife on "The Andy Griffith Show," made his way through a series of Disney flicks (Apple Dumpling Gang, Private Eyes) with his pal Tim Conway, then ended up on Three's Company in the eighties.  He was one of the great oldies but goodies.  Also over the weekend, veteran actor Davin McGavin died.  McGavin is probably best known for his role as the frustrated dad in "A Christmas Story."  Click on for more.

Read here for Darin McGavin's obit and here for his IMDB filmorgraphy. And click here for the great Don Knott's obit and here for his IMDB filmorgraphy.

No one lasts forever.  Knotts could be fun, but as trapped in TVland Hell. I think his whole life was lived in Black and white.  But kudos for getting himself into any series with a mug like that.

McGavin was a product of the ultimate B grade TV system, if it can be said there is such a system.  These are largely forgettable series or performances which in turn, will make McGavin a lasting memory for about 3 minutes, 12 minutes short of his allotted 15 minutes of fame.

The voice of that teacher from 'Doug' will be sorely missed.

Rest In Peace Don, McGavin, and Jam Master Jay

Is he the same guy as the TV repair man from Pleasantville?
