Knott an Ordinary Week

On July 21, 1924, a brilliant fellow was born to his parents in West Virginia. This man's name was Jesse Donald Knotts...better known to most by his stage name, Don Knotts. After landing a very successful role on the Andy Griffith Show and starring in several movies, he rose to popularity and eventually guest-starred on The New Scooby-Doo Movies twice in 1972, before later returning for a brief video game cameo as himself in Night of 100 Frights. To celebrate what would have been Don's 97th birthday (and just to be silly because it's fun lol), all content this week on the blog will be Don Knotts-themed. While there won't be a post every day like there was with the Guess Who or Be Cool Weeks, there will be a Don Knotts-themed the weekly poll, Monday's fun fact, and maybe a little surprise later on in the week. I call it: "KNOTT an Ordinary Week" haha.

Apparently, I'm not the first one to do something like this either! Upon researching a bit for the fun fact, Don's hometown, Morgantown, WV, there's apparently an event called "Don Knotts Days" in which Don is honored by his hometown, and in 2016, a statue of him was erected and part of University Avenue was renamed "Don Knotts Boulevard" to honor him. You can check out more about that in the news story here.

Hope you all enjoy this fun little week on the blog, and remember, don't do anything Don Knotts wouldn't do!

His episodes in "The New Scooby Doo Movies" are some that shined for me.

Agreed! His two episodes, especially "Guess Who's Knott Coming to Dinner" were among my favorites of that series.

They're both some of the best of New Movies.

Hopefully Don Knotts joins us in the comments like he has before.

On a serious note, Don Knotts is an exceptional guest star and this should be fun!

Nice. Don Knotts is very entertaining. It's unbelievable how many people love to do the voice in authoritative roles, a lot of them in Scooby-Doo.

For instance, Officer Claphammer from WNSD, and more obviously distinctly the Sheriff from the Music of the Vampire movie.

It is really interesting how much Don Knotts' voice has inspired future "authoritative"/officer voice roles in the franchise.

You should review HOW TO FRAME A FIGG, a Knotts movie that prominently features Frank Welker in a supporting role + a spooky cemetery

OMG that's an amazing idea! Do you know if it's available anywhere online? I checked Amazon and it just says it's unavailable in my country (which is the US).
