Recurring Gig On A Legal Drama

Don Knotts had guest appearance on several television shows, including a recurring gig on Griffith’s Matlock, where Knotts played the pesky neighbor Les Calhoun. Griffith and Knotts really enjoyed working together again, and both said it was a pleasure to come to work every day. The audiences also found it a pleasure!

The Reunion Show

Don Knotts reprised his role as Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show reunion in 1986 and while many watched the revival, it got mixed reviews from critics. Some thought that maybe the time for a special reunion show had passed but it is common for beloved shows to have reunion shows! Unfortunately, the audiences might have been right on this one since it seems like the show did not age like everyone hoped it would. However, this is the case in many reunion shows, so we cannot bash it a too much.
