Mr. Knight was best known for his portrayal of Ted Baxter, the arrogant, vain nincompoop on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" from 1970 to 1977. But it was an image he wanted to dump.

"I've really wanted to shake Ted Baxter," Mr. Knight said in 1981. "People want to see that character. Ted Baxter gave the whole world a superiority complex." Mr. Knight said one of the reasons he took the role in "Too Gose For Comfort" was to shed the Ted Baxter image.

"I would have an opportunity to do something more than the one-dimensional character that Ted was," he said. "He was limited in that he could never display any Intelligence. He was always the butt of the jokes. One of his charms was that he was never a threat to anybody. Mr.

Knight was born Dec. 7, 1923, in Terryville, as Tadewurz Wladzui Konopka.
