Santa Monica, CA - February 27, 2006 - TV Land will honor the life and work of veteran actor Don Knotts, who passed away on Friday, February 24, with two separate on-air tributes. The network will showcase a six episode presentation of Knotts' memorable work on The Andy Griffith Show as the lovable, bumbling small town deputy, Barney Fife on Tuesday, February 28 from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET/PT. Additionally, beginning Saturday March 4 at 6 a.m. ET/PT, TV Land will air a 48-hour marathon of both The Andy Griffith Show and Three's Company, the latter of which he played the eccentric landlord Mr. Furley.

The Andy Griffith Show episodes in TV Land's tribute to Don Knotts on Tuesday, February 28 will include:

Andy's diplomacy and modern engineering techniques are required to upgrade the music of the Mayberry choir.

9:30 p.m. Barney's First Car
Jim Nabors appears as Gomer Pyle as Barney invests his life's savings in a used car.
10 p.m. The Haunted House
Andy, Barney and Gomer are a trio of laughs as they tread the boards of a "haunted house."

not to bad, it would be nice to see other shows he did, but at least they are doing something. It still makes me mad they did nothing but a 30 second commercial for Bob Denver. Nothing for Don Adams either.

Mrs. John Ritter · 02-27-2006, 09:24 PM

I am glad that they are going to show this in honor of Don. He was an amazingly talented actor. Can't wait to see the Three's Company marathon.

An 80s Guy · 02-27-2006, 10:26 PM

I'm just kinda mad Three's company was just as good Three's company mabey has 20 episodes the rest are taken up by TAGS hello that's not the only show he did they're acting like it is

Pavan · 02-28-2006, 09:49 AM

Remember, Three's Company is still "resting" because of contract issues, so I think that 11p-5a is very fair.

Yes it's fair to me too. Why am I seeing two eps titles for one time slot for the Three's company eps? I'm not understanding it
