Re: Don Knotts

Yes, people really were fond of Don Knotts, and they were certainly fond of Mayberry.

It was so cool how Sheriff Taylor used power.
The world could learn a little lesson from that show.

Like their system of Correctional Justice ("Otis, would you leave the key on the table after you let yourself out of jail please? Be sure to come back after the wedding reception."). Or the big brouhaha because one neighbor was putting up a fence to keep in his chickens and another neighbor objected because it would block the sun from his rutabaga patch or whatever, and Sheriff said Well boys, how bout if that ol fence is made out of chicken wire? and then everybody was happy.
