After Don Knotts left the show at the end of season five, he would return to make five guest appearances in the final three seasons. His very last appearance during the final season follows the story of a summit meeting with some Russian dignitaries and this episode was “ranked 11th among single comedy programs most watched in television between 1960 and 1984, with an audience of thirty-three and a half million.” Whoa.
