Greetings from the Land O' Elvis! I have been wondering why the "Academy" neglected to mention Dennis Weaver, Darren McGavin and our beloved Don Knotts. I haven't seen this posted, but I think it should be brought up. My grandpa was a big TAGS fan and if he was here he'd say "Those snooty Oscar people wouldn't know Art or Science if it bit them on their backside". The show is scripted, but allowances are always made for the odd mistake or interruption. I hope "The Academy" honors these great men next year, but I wouldn't bet money on it. They must consider all three "too TV" for an Oscar show. Well, I watched my TAGS DVDs and said the Oscars could "run up and alley and yell 'fish' ".We know the Emmys will do a better job, but I think the best tributes are those posted here. Don Knotts was a radio, television, and movie star. Although he was and forever will be best known as Barney Fife, he did so much more. Maybe because he made good, clean, movies you could take your children to see, in a time when Hollywood didn't think America wanted them anymore, he was overlooked in the tributes. My 2 cents. Still too sad to look for Bobby Fleet, Eric in Memphis _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
