Today is November 2nd, and November 2nd is All Souls Day. The basic idea of All Souls Day is to take the opportunity to remember those who have passed away during the preceding year. Many well known people from the 80's left this world during 2006, such as former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, Senator and 1988 Vice Presidential candidate Lloyd Bensten, Producer Aaron Spelling, and actor Bruno Kirby to name a few. Since this site tends to focus more on pop culture, here's some trivia concerning a couple of dearly departed stars from the 80's: Actor and comedian Don Knotts passed away back in February. Knotts' career started long before the 80's. He had a regular spot on the "Steve Allen Show" back in the 50's, and went on to play Barney Fife on the "Andy Griffith Show" during the 60's (for which he earned SEVEN Emmies!) If kids in the 80's didn't know him from all the Andy Griffith repeats, they undoubtedly knew him as the landlord on "Three's Company." He joined the cast in 1979 when The Ropers left to appear in a spin-off. So what was the name of Don Knotts' character on "Three's Company?"

Bonus Question: Singer June Pointer, youngest member of the Pointer Sisters, passed away in April of this year. The Pointer Sisters had a string of hits in the early 80's. They also had several film and television appearances in which they either played themselves or played a fictional singing group. They had a spot in the 1976 film "Car Wash," and they played 'The Mermaids' on an episode of The Love Boat' (they backed up bartender Isaac in a talent show). What was the name of the T.V. sitcom on which the Pointer Sisters had a guest appearance as a singing group known as the 'Doo-Wop Girls?'
