TV LAND CELEBRATES THE LIFE OF FILM AND
TV ICON DON KNOTTS

Santa Monica, CA - February 27, 2006 - TV Land will honor the life and work of veteran actor Don Knotts, who passed away on Friday, February 24, with two separate on-air tributes. The network will showcase a six episode presentation of Knotts' memorable work on The Andy Griffith Show as the lovable, bumbling small town deputy, Barney Fife on Tuesday, February 28 from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET/PT. Additionally, beginning Saturday March 4 at 6 a.m. ET/PT, TV Land will air a 48-hour marathon of both The Andy Griffith Show and Three's Company, the latter of which he played the eccentric landlord Mr. Furley.

"Don Knotts was a superb talent and great friend to the entire staff at TV Land and we will all miss him tremendously," explains Larry W. Jones, President, TV Land and Nick at Nite. "We are so honored to have known him and enjoy his amazing contributions to the entertainment world, and we will remember him fondly forever."

The Andy Griffith Show episodes in TV Land's tribute to Don Knotts on Tuesday, February 28 will include:

Andy's diplomacy and modern engineering techniques are required to upgrade the music of the Mayberry choir.

9:30 p.m. Barney's First Car

not to bad, it would be nice to see other shows he did, but at least they are doing something. It still makes me mad they did nothing but a 30 second commercial for Bob Denver. Nothing for Don Adams either.

I am glad that they are going to show this in honor of Don. He was an amazingly talented actor. Can't wait to see the Three's Company marathon.

I'm just kinda mad Three's company was just as good Three's company mabey has 20 episodes the rest are taken up by TAGS hello that's not the only show he did they're acting like it is

I wish they scheduled Three's Company earlier and longer. Ralph Furley was just as a memorable and hilarious as Barney Fife.

Remember, Three's Company is still "resting" because of contract issues, so I think that 11p-5a is very fair.

I also think the 11:00 pm until 5:00 am is very fair

Yes it's fair to me too. Why am I seeing two eps titles for one time slot for the Three's company eps? I'm not understanding it

The first episode in the same row is for Saturday, the other is for Sunday at the same time.

Ok, it's clear now. That will give me a break from

11pm-roseanne
11:30pm-roseanne
12am-fresh prince
12:30am-fresh prince
1am-roseanne
1:30am-roseanne

i think that's absolutely awesome. he deserves to be paid homage.
