Don Knotts
So, Don Knotts died on Friday. He was 81. While I know it's great that he lived to be 81, and I am happy that he had a full, happy life, the news of his death really bummed me out. I loved watching him on Three's Company, which I knew of before The Andy Griffith Show. He did awkward better than anybody else. One of the things that I liked so much about him was the fact that he was so skinny and kind of scrawny. For a long time, it bothered me that I was so skinny and thin. Then I saw an episode of Biography about him, and he said that he never weighed more than 130 lbs, which was where I was stuck at for a long time. That made me feel a lot better. A skinny, hilarious, physical comedian. That sounded great to me. Right now, I am really sad that I never got to meet him. I am, however, happy that he is now hanging out with Jack Tripper and the Roepers.
