1. I cannot believe I am admitting this
but I totally love Don Knotts.
I also have this bizarre love of Hayley Mills movies.

I think I may need help....

4. it's not bizarre to love Haley Mills
teenage guys have been doing it since 1960. I fell in love with her in the late 70's when I was 13 and saw "The Parent Trap" for the first time. Still love that movie.

6. True, not crazy for guys to love Hayley Mills, but
I'm a girl.

There's just something about her movies. I guess I remember seeing them all on the Disney Channel when I was younger that takes me back to my childhood or something.

Every so often, I drag out my copy of Pollyanna and make my family suffer through it :evilgrin:

2. I, too, love Don Knotts
"Attaboy, Luther!"

Seriously, "The Private Eyes" is a favorite of mine from my childhood.

3. I just love Tim Conway
The way he used to try and crack up everyone on the Carol Burnett Show was hysterical

7. Does anyone besides me remember when he played
on Coach as a gardener, or grounds keeper (something like that) who had been struck by lightning several times? That's the most recent thing I remember him doing, and OMG, he was hilarious!

5. Tim with out Harvey does not work
with all respect to the apple dumpling gang, I would rather a stick in the eye than watch a conway film festival.

Don Knotts actually does some acting in his flicks.

8. Tim Conway is only funny
as part of a team. He and Harvey Korman are going to be here in Charleston in March and I can't wait to get tickets.

But Tim by himself just isn't funny.

9. Usually yes but he had me tears one time on Dave
I think it was Dave. Telling about his time in the Army. He was repeatedly court marshalled-once for losing his rifle on guard duty "they are touchy about that".

10. Conway's bit on the Carol Burnett Show where he described . . .
two monkeys doing the merangue (sp?) on the outstretched trunks of two elephants is one of the funniest things I've ever seen on television . . .

12. I think Harvey Kormann would vote "Tim Conway"
Did they ever do a sketch together where Kormann wasn't laughing harder than the audience by the end?
