I think the difficult part for Jack Burns aka Warren Ferguson was that he not only had to replace Don Knotts, but he had to also replace Barney Fife. I think they writers and producers of the show realized their mistake when they attempted to do just that because when our beloved Floyd had to leave the show they did not replace him with another barber. Rather they brought to town good old Emmett Clark as a fix it man and merely put him into Floyd's vacant shop. I think if they would have attempted to bring in another character as a barber that too would have been a dismal failure. Mayberry is a town of unique characters. There was only one sheriff, one deputy, one barber, one town drunk, and one gas station attendant. To try to replace any of these classic personalities would not only have been a failure, it would have been a grave injustice to their memory. And while I am at, there is only one Ken Anderson, and the world can be mighty glad of that fact. As my wife says, I am irreplaceable, and if I should meet my demise before she does, she does not plan to replace me with a new husband. She will just get a dog instead.
