I see somebody got sucked into the Three's Company marathon on TVLand this weekend.
Anyway, you gotta hand it to Roper -- the double-takes, the smarmy grin, the way he holds out on Mrs. Roper.
I like Don Knotts, but what an ignominious end to a hilarious career: dressed up in polyester jumpsuits and chewing the scenery like no tomorrow. His work on The Andy Griffith Show seems subtle and nuanced by comparison.
You kidding? Scroll up and look at Roper. He may seem harmless and lazy, but that's an act. He's got dead eyes, like a snake's eyes. He'd take Don Knotts down just to watch him die.
