Knotts died Friday night of pulmonary and respiratory complications at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills, said Paul Ward, a spokesman for the cable network TV Land, which airs "The Andy Griffith Show," and another Knotts hit, "Three's Company.

The Ghost and Mr Chicken is one of the best movies ever made.  The Incredible Mr. Limpett isn't far behind.

FWIW, CNN may not be the best place to get news, well accurate news that is.

Ah man, that stinks.  He was one of my favorites.  Must resist urge to watch Private Eyes thus forcing me to make stupid Wookalar jokes for months.

I loved him in "The Private Eyes" with Tim Conway. I went to see that one in the theater when I was 6 or 7.

I thought the Wookalar was cool.

I don't think I've ever seen Private Eyes, I'm going to add it to my netflix queue.
