Sadness

This weekend Don Knotts passed away. As did Darren McGavin. They were both extremely talented actors and both blessed with a genius for comedy. Don Knotts with amazing high strung characters and Darren McGavin with a dry straight sense of timing that would just catch you at the right moment. Some of my fondest memories are of Channel 56 and 38 on the weekends showing 'The Ghost and Mr Chicken' or 'How to Frame a Fig'. It's just not Christmas time without 24 hours of 'A Christmas Story'. I'll miss them both but I'll watch their movies forever.
