Beyond Barney, it’s Don Knotts – Tied up in laughter!
The beloved, Emmy-winning comic actor Don Knotts, best-known for his roles as the bumbling deputy Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show and the lecherous landlord Mr. Furley on Three’s Company, presents a series of side-splitting stand-up routines and skits in rare performances from the 1960s-1970s.
A master at playing nervous and neurotic characters, Knotts is also able to milk major laughs with his portrayals of romantically-challenged underdogs possessing oversized egos.
In this special comedy collection, he is joined by singer-actress Joey Heatherton, actress Jane Powell, former Dallas Cowboys player Lance Rentzel, comic Jack Burns, Knott’s Love God movie co-star Maureen Arthur and the legendary Jimmy Durante.

Absolute waste of money I am an great Don Knotts fan and thought I’d try this. I assumed it would be part clips, part documentary. Do not waste your money. A few skits from his old variety show. Generally poor skits at that and some are of Joey Heatherton and Knotts isn’t even in the skit!. A five minute skit of Knotts singing with Jimmy Durante was worth watching as was a five minute nervous man skit. The other 50 minutes was so bad I fast forwarded through most. If you could get your money back on DVD’s you’ve watched, this would be headed back!
Fun & Rare Look At Don Knotts’ TV Comedy Outside of Sitcoms Any fan of the wonderful humor of Don Knotts should enjoy this collection of long-lost variety show footage from the 1960s and early 1970s — not seen for four decades! — and released here at a very reasonable price. (There’s also bonus footage of Knotts with Lucille Ball from the only time they ever worked together.)This material shows Knotts doing some hilarious stand-up comedy as well as comedy skits — plus musical skits and numbers. (Why another fan would complain about this is hard to understand — Knotts is entertaining and humorous in both formats and the incusion of guests such as the sexy Joey Heatherton gives further context to this notalgic footage and the era in which it was produced and originally aired — when comedy and music existed in regular showcases for great talents such as Carol Burnett, Dean Martin and others. This slice of Don Knotts’ TV work outside his “Andy Griffith Show” and “Three’s Company” sitcoms is an historical and hysterical DVD at a bargain.
