You mean trump

@@juanmanuelhernandez4936 Dk Head!!! Everything is not political. When you do that, people tend to chose based on their idea of right or wrong. In this case obviously Arnold is wrong. Therefore one would assume that you are Arnold.

@@billfulgenzi2287 Mr. Fulgenzi DK HEAD, in this case, comparing Arnold's behavior to trump is more than appropriate whether you like it or not. For your information, I am not the one throwing a temper tantrum; trump is, and I pray you are not supporting him and his tantrum; also, my opinion was not meant to be political I just saw the similarity in behavior. Arnold went as far as to demand his father to be locked up; trump wants the good guys to be locked up. If you want to make it political, that is on you!

@@abef.9085 First of all, Arnold said nothing about loving kids. Arnold broke the law, and so did trump. Arnold is being held accountable for his actions of breaking the law and is throwing a temper tantrum. The insignificant trump also broke the law and is also being held accountable and also throwing a temper tantrum. You focus on President Biden stating he loves them kids; well, I would pray you too love kids, I love kids because they are our future and therefore have to do what we can to keep them safe.

@@juanmanuelhernandez4936 "Sweetheart" not in eleven billion years did the name Trump, or Biden come to mind. Maybe you didn't understand my comments, everything is not political. Let it go!!!

@@Lava1964 And liberals and Snowflakes!!!!!

That kid sounds like every woke individual in this Country. Case in point, just like this brat, every woke liberal in this Country would rather someone else pay for their ways as long as they can have what they want.

@@davidcrump303 Absolutely Correct 💯 percent!!!!!

Many kids learned right from wrong watching this TV series and others during that time.

Opie also saw that Arnold acting like a brat didn't work when the father decided to sell the bike seeing Arnold care more about the bike than him.

@@lilybond6485 True. Between The A.G. Show and what our parents taught us, that helped shape our development.

Anyone in this comment section should watch the entire episode, this kid "Arnold" tried to show Opie how to TRY and get things by throwing a "temper tantrum", earlier in the show! great episode!

It was a directed performance on a sound stage. Did you not know that?

We didn't have a woodshed. We had a couple of peach trees where we'd be sent out to cut our own switch. In the summertime wearing shorts, a switch swiftly applied to the backs of one's legs can make a lasting impression. You might actually forget why you got in trouble; but, you won't forget that switching. And remembering that consequence served as a deterrent to future bad behavior. That is, until we had another stupidity attack.

@@viking956 And you had better not get a real short switch either.

Brings tears to my eyes every time

@@viking956omg, the getting your own switch! And lord have mercy on your soul if you brought in a weak, lame switch!

Must accountability translate into violence? The child’s attention and retention of the lesson could just as effectively be achieved by other means. Selling the bike while making clear the reason is a consequence of the child’s unacceptable actions, while remaining calm and adult, teaches responsibility while avoiding reinforcing any idea that the strong get their way through force.

@@davidhust2123 Ever watch The Miracle Worker? The scene of the battle in the dining room between Helen Keller and Annie Sullivan was pretty violent! That was a result of the parents doing what was more convenient for them as apposed to what was best for their deaf and blind child. Annie didn't love Helen but she respected her as a human being and wanted to help Helen to be able to function and also to be able to socialize with the people around her.

@@davidhust2123 Remaining calm when your own child wants you to be locked up? What have you been smoking? It's obvious you are not a parent.

Yes, they have become so real. Our time here, probably ought to be called the age of entitlement. There are far too many people who think they are. They behave like that young boy.

Oh these days the parents not only teach their kids they encourage them to be bad.

We have the timeout generation than came the entitlement generation and than the woke generation. We are DOOM!

​@@wayneyd2 You said it, and very soon, The End of the World!!!!!

Yes, we do. Well said. Heck, every house in America should come with a good, old-fashioned, woodshed or equivalent out back, along with at least one proper hickory tree.

You say they didn't know better back then. But they new enough about it to make a episode about it. And what u call fiction has become reality today.

There are plenty of children who were spanked and turned out just fine. =_=

Yes there are plenty of kids who are messed up that were spanked and there are plenty of kids who are messed up and weren't....Does it really prove anything?

nsr60ster Nothing wrong with a good old fashioned spanking.

That’s adorable! 🥰

nice

This show remind me of my dad too he used to watch it on tv land when I was growing up

I am about the same age and I have great memories of watching this show with my Dad. In this episode, the thought of me being less afraid of my Father than the Sheriff is not possible. If I would have come home and told my father that the police had taken my bike that he had worked so hard to pay for, my ass wouldn't have been able to sit on a bike seat for a month!!

I watched this show when I was growing up during the regular seasons. At this moment I'm watching the episode "The Return of Barney Fife" that first aired on 1/10/66 when I was only 7 years old. So many beautiful childhood memories.

Blame yourself if you must, but don't blame me.

This is a time in America where values were valued.

Amen.

Stop voting for lying ignorant racist Republicans like Trump if you want “values”.

Facts!!!

Yeah. Opie is lucky to have a dad that teaches him about limits

What’s funny is he might have gotten it back in a week if it wasn’t for that little rant he did demanding they lock up his father.

@@lukebaskin6924 Don’t be like Arnold kids! There’s good reasons why we don’t always get what we want all the time and why we have limits.

@@hayleyyeager8008 Arnold is literally his own worst enemy lol. Love this episode.

True. But it’s funny, go to Amazon Prime snd watch these and they have them labeled as having “violence”, “foul language”, “drug use” and “sexual situations” in the upper left hand corner at the beginning of episodes. “Drug use” = Otis drinking = “sexual situation” is Barney and Thelma Lou playing with the lights at the courthouse and Barney having lipstick ob his face (or bleeding as Opie thought). The list goes on, I kid you not. (Meanwhile, Amazon and Netflix produce a lot of trash) Insane

@@classicgunstoday1972 Isn't that just about the saddest thing.😥 But, these days a 3 year old can be asked what gender they want to be. Something is wrong here. 👍✌

I like the old days that everything was clean of entertainment. Until now, not any more

I have heard of Sunday School classes watching episodes of Andy Griffith for their examples of morality

@@Alma_Gertrude It’s actually a Sunday school lesson set up. They have some country minister from Billy Graham ministries out of North Carolina or something introduce the episode and after you’ve watched it you discuss the moral of the episode and how it applies biblically. Very fundamental very simple but kind of fun

VERY sad indeed!!!

Not with King of the Hill gone, no. I always said Hank and Bobby were like Andy and Opie. Say what you will, but Hank used the same kind of psychology to solve his everyday problems. He wasn't a small-town sheriff, but he was a neighborhood captain.

My parents believed in spanking. My mother said when I was 3 we were at church and she had enough. She was taking me out for a spanking and I was yelling help. Nobody came to my aid. lol

Agreed,...shows don't teach tough love and discipline anymore because of wussy lobbyist who consider it child abuse. Remember the 'Good Times' episode where James whooped Eddie's ass with a belt?....That was hard-core, but totally necessary because you never saw a black father on t.v. administer discipline in that way.

@@TEMUistheworst thanks. I never thought of it that way

You really should not be telling everyone that you need to be disciplined , there are some strange people out there..😄

You must be a real douch now....

I had to laugh at these two comments. From your photo, looks like you turned out pretty good. Did your dad had to take you out to the shed and whack you. Lol amazing show

I was disciplined as a child. Lord was I disciplined! If we take our kids to the “wood shed” today, they call it child abuse! That’s the problem right there. It starts at home and needs to be reinforced in schools. We don’t have that today. That’s why we home school our daughter.

Sounds like you've corrected course.

Excellent comment

Its hollywood

Unless the parent were abusing his kid. Then the govt must step in to protect the kid. In this example it looks like Arnold was being neglected. I like this clip until the end. I don’t believe parents should hit their kids. They already have all the leverage in their corner and shouldn’t have to resort to violence to control their kid.

@@bunny_smith A major reason there are so many older children (all over the age of 18) is due to lack of discipline in their younger years. So many would have benefitted from some physical negative reinforcement. A good whack or two (maybe three if really bad), done in love, can help a child stay in the right direction. And it is a lot more productive than a time out.

@@bunny_smith Spanking is not violence so long as it doesn't leave a mark.

Absolutely Correct!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Absolutely, Like Andy said: If we don't teach children to live in society today, what's gonna happen to them when they grow up? These parents in this day & age no matter how young or old they are if they're 1st timers or already parenting experts that don't EVER teach their child / children no matter how young they are any DEEPER Discipline, Respect, Properly Mannered, Patience & other things in life they need to be taught all of it little bits at a time, 1 day at a time, make better & smarter life choices a day at a time & live in society no matter if it's Good or Bad, you wouldn't figure what's gonna happen to these kids if they are not taught properly or the very disturbing part is NOT teaching these kids at all when they grow up like right now in this day & age when parents doing something they are not supposed to be doing that is setting an EXTREMELY BAD example to their children no matter how young they are where these kids & their young days go by would potentially follow in their parent's footsteps in becoming violent in their futures which that should not happen when their child / children get in trouble with the law that would have their Jail / Prison cells with their names on them if these parents don't parent their own kids at these early stages of their lives like right now, but Oh No!!!! these parents have WAY MORE important things to do than not put the foot down properly on their child / children's actions & their safety. If they can't do that, then what's the point of having kids in the 1st place. These parents in this day & age need to take a DEEPLY HARD look at themselves in the Mirror & think about all the major challenges & major consequences they are facing when themselves & their partners agreed on bringing a child / children in their lives & in this world.

some parents need one or two themselves.

@@dougfredricks2017 This era of TV is now called racist, and surprisingly the Andy Griffith show is the biggest targets of the racism claim. The Washington post did an article a couple years ago where they directly blamed the Andy Griffith Show for Trump getting elected. Their logic was that white America wanted their lives to be like the show. Kinda weird seeing how those same whites voted twice for a black man. Most of the big liberal media outlets have done articles on how racist this show was, and it is all absurd. It is kinda like the leftist that tried to get Friends removed from Netflix, cause they claimed it was hateful towards gays and trans and was too masculine. The episode they used to prove their crazy point was the episode where Ross and Rachel were hiring a nanny. Yes this was literally a story a couple years ago in all the major media outlets, people were demanding Friends be removed. The left is crazy.

@Liberty AboveAllElse Not just talent, Desi Arnaz said he wanted to film I Love Lucy in front of a live audience with "the 3-camera system." They told him there was no such thing, so he invented it. It's still the standard.

@@grundian back the blue until it happens to you.

~ Same here ...

You have a point, there. Remember in school when we were offered a choice of taking a paddling or having your father called? Most of us were like "Oh, please paddle me!"

Amen to that

I emphasize with being the oldest. I had 4 younger brothers with the same 'lessons by proxy' my brothers received. I had the opportunity to ask my father about this when I finally had kids (2) and my father mentioned "Well, it was easier to punish me than figure out who broke the window". That truly inspired me to stop at 2 kids. Don't let the children outnumber the parents. I still feel many things at age 65: A little resentment for that bias but much stronger as it built my character to be more responsible for my actions. Can't fix the past, just learn from it.

Applying the board of education to the seat of learning... Thank you for that! I'm gonna steal it and use it for my kids. God bless.

The sad reality is that no decent parent wants to hit their child.

My mom threw me against a window when I was 6. I don't even remember doing anything wrong (might have been collateral damage to something my brother did) but I never did forget what she did to me. Taught me to keep my distance from her.

Spankings are not the problem. Its parents who are abusing their children and not caught until its too late.

It would be nice if a producer created a show similar to Andy Griffith and the Rifleman. The shows today are all similar. Too focused on adult content and haenous crimes. I want to be entertained, not bored with everyday topics that the news carries. One half hour of news is enough! They just keep repeating the same old topics every 20 minutes.

When speaking of TV dads we can't overlook Jack Arnold from "The Wonder Years" or Red Foreman from "That 70's Show" : )

You hit the nail on the head. They were great fathers. When I was a teen in the 70s, I watched The Rifleman every night at 11pm. I'm not saying one was better than the other, but Lucas was raising a teenager and those are the years a boy really needs a father. I learned a lot from watching The Rifleman and Chuck Conners delivered the message perfectly. The only other tv show that had a widowed father raising a son was The Courtship Of Eddie's Father. Bill Bixby also played a great Dad. Brandon Cruz who played Eddie always kept in touch with Bixby. And Ron Howard and Johnny kept in touch with their tv Dad's also.

@@nasedo3129 Watching Walton's reruns I was impressed with John Walton's fathering too. That was the 70's though but it portrayed an earlier era when father's still fathered.
