Guest Advisor Posted July 25, 2004 iam not sure about griffen but i think knotts is doing well i allways thought he was much older then 80 though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weasel 2 Posted January 14, 2005 Didn't Jim Nabors have a liver transplant like 10 years ago or something? Seems like I remember something about that. When is he gonna kick the bucket? Also, Don Knotts, Andy, they are really getting old, so here is a vote for one of them in 2005. Thelma Lou is old and fat and that is that! Who will be the next Mayberryite to pass on?

weatherman90 7 Posted January 14, 2005 Good point, it looks like the three you mentioned are the only ones still going. Don Knotts - 81 this year Andy Griffith - 79 this year Jim Nabors - 75 this year Jim did have a liver transplant back in 1994, he seems to be doing fine now though. Don seems to be really healthy, he is scheduled for two upcoming movies. Andy, on the other hand, had a quadruple bypass back in 2000. I would think that Andy would easily be famous enough with his 2 hit shows, this one, and Matlock. Don also might make the cut, depending on how famous "Threes Company", and "Andy Griffith" were in the UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted January 14, 2005 He played the eponymous hero in a US TV series called Matlock from the late 80's. We get repeats of it here in the afternoons. Mrs. N. likes to watch it sometimes when she's doing the ironing. I don't know if it was ever on in the UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GracieJc8 3 Posted August 5, 2005 iam not sure about griffen but i think knotts is doing well i allways thought he was much older then 80 though Apparently Don Knotts is NOT doing so well. CNN reported tonight that an upcoming homecoming celebration in his hometown of Morgantown, West Virginia has been put on hold. The report said that the 81 year old actor is too "frail" to travel.

Guest Guest Posted August 16, 2005 Tabloid says this week that Knotts is nearly blind from macular degeneration and has undergone surgery for a serious bowel obstruction, has developed complications. While his death does not appear to be iminent, his days of tv appearances and public events appear to be over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You might well have done, Mr Groundsman, had you simply stuck to benefit fraud and shop-lifting, instead of dressing up in that rather suspect costume as the Ghostly Kiddie-Fiddler of Plonker Park to steal the buried treasure hidden under the public toilets by Old Mrs MacGobshite of Bell End House.
