I so miss these old comedians, like Don Knotts, who could do their funny schtick without resorting to vulgarity and inflammatory histrionics. It's become a lost art, and we are the poorer for it. While I accept that entertainment has changed, I always feel a bit wistful at the long retinue of brilliant comedians who are so quickly relegated to the dustbin of distant memory. Sad indeed, because great comedy is timeless.
