The Don Knotts Show
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Don Knotts Show was a variety program aired by NBC as part of its 1970-71 lineup.
Long relegated to the role of sidekick, which he had portrayed for many years in several television series and films, Knotts was the headliner here. Each week, he and his guests put on rather standard TV variety fare of the era. Two recurring features were skits about the efforts involved in putting a weekly television series on the air, much in the spirit of The Jack Benny Show, and "The Front Porch", where Don and a guest would sit in rocking chairs and quietly discuss their philosophies of life. Notable regulars in his cast included Elaine Joyce and Gary Burghoff, who had previously portrayed "Radar O'Reilly" in the film version of M*A*S*H and was about to achieve his greatest fame in reprising that role for the television version of it.
