It has been a bad two days for people who were familiar with both Don Knott's and Darren McGavin's work on television.
I remember watching the Mike hammer series and also the
''Kolchak: The Night Stalker series.
I also liked him in what has now become a classic Movie "A Christmas Story".
He was 83.

Don Knotts and Darren McGavin were in a movie in 1976 together entitled "No Deposit, No Return," and they were hilarious in it.

RIP to both of them.

"Sons o' b**ches, Bumpuses!" one of my favorite lines from "A Christmas Story"

RIP to both.

Unbelievable they are both gone.
I used to be a big Nightstalker fan, too, when I was about fifteen. Winter or summer, he wore that straw boater and what appeared to be a white seersucker suit. What a guy.
