Any word on a tribute to Don for Season 7?

[GrandGame1440]

I know it's early, but I don't know how these things develop. I hope they at least include something remembering him.

Hard to say. I mean, after all, he joined 'Three's Company' a while after it started. It wasn't like he was there from the very beginning like Norman Fell and Audry L. Maybe they'll have a small 'in memory' for him,who knows.

What's that got to do with anything?

I agree!!! That doesn't mean anything I think they should he was a big part of the show and the cast loved him. I think that if even Lana were to pass they should have a small in memory of her. (Which I so hope nothing does happy to her)

Just because he didn't start with the show doesn't mean a smaller tribute. He was an important part in the continued success of Three's Company!

I'm sure that they will since he's a very known successful actor

The same could be said for the ones who played the Ropers. And they were their from the very beginnig of the show. They didn't have a 'in memoriam for them. So with that said, (not to be unkind), why should Don Knotts be any different from them?

For one thing they had died before the DVDS started to come out. That makes a big difference. As as for the rest of what you said, Don was on the show a lot longer than the Ropers. I like them too but Don was just as big of a star on TC as The Ropers were. And I truly believe he saved the show because they needed a big name to replace them.

Also, Don was a bigger name in Hollywood than Norman Fell and Audra Lindley. He had already gained popularity as Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith show.
He sure did save the show.

I totally agree with you Katie!! Don Knotts had come into his own thru other roles. He was on many movies and tv. I loved him and of all the landlords he was my favorite. I think they will have a special tribute to him in the next DVD release!!

I'm sure that they could've found someone just as talented to take the place of the Ropers.

They did find someone talented! His name was Don Knotts! He did a wonderful job as Mr. Furley! I couldn't imagine anyone else playing the part!! Hopefully they will do a fitting tribute for him!! He deserves it!!

Wow, that's cold, not to be unkind.

That's what they did when they hired Don Knotts! I agree with BlueMoonFan and I Walk The Line. I couldn't imagine anybody else filling the part either.

I really doubt that. Don Knotts was a comic legend. They were lucky to get him. I remember when he was hired. I had been a big fan of his from TAGS. I couldn't wait to see him on TC. I'm sure I wasn't alone on this. The Ropers leaving could have been a JTS moment if they didn't get the right person. What do you have against Don Knotts anyway?
