There’s something really wholesome about Opie not being good at tantrums. Like deep down, he respects his Dad too much to go through with it. “Don’t get your clothes all dirty.” Sits up with a pout.
The problem was the father tolerating the bad behavior. He was too gullible. If he hadn't been so naive, the kid wouldn't have taken advantage of this.
When I was a child of about 12 y/o, I was encouraged by all my friends to tell my father that I should get an allowance like they had from theirs. So, I went to my dad and stated to him that "I need an allowance." he calmly looked at me without batting an eye and said " No, son, you need a job.". And that was that....
Just another of the six million reasons this was television's best show ever. Funniest show ever with the best life lessons as well. What's not to love? No show will ever equal it again. "I'm holding my breath." Oh that's a good lung exercise." Absolutely priceless.
@@michaelkelly3221 Best life lesson, even God approves of corporal punishment. I would think with the life lessons of the lawlessness going on today even dense people would see the need.
@michaelkelly3221 He didn't say to beat the kid. There is a difference between spanking and beating. All kids don't need a spanking, but sometimes you have that kid that doesn't listen, no matter what you say. Then you have to get their attention.
Oh, how I wish the world were still that way. I was born in 1948 and that is the kind of world I grew up in. The cutest thing Opie ever said was that he didn't want to talk against, "his own kind". Adorable!
That is definitely an interesting contacts "Oh I'm definitely gonna bail the bike out all night. And then I will get rid of it to show Arnold that he doesn't deserve one"
I would have had Sherrif Taylor just throw the bike away. My kid thinks im trash that he can just have put away well then I'd show him that his bike is the real trash.
When Andy told the father (present and not MIA) he was responsible for his boy's actions and if he would not do it, maybe he should lock the father up, I was beyond shocked. It appears something has gone wrong in America. Many parents refuse to take full responsibility for their children's behavior or condone poor behavior. If we held parents fully responsible and jailed them for not doing their job, I suspect things may change.
Punishment and Discipline are two different things. Discipline is being able to keep your bike off the sidewalk after being told to do so. Punishment is what happens when you fail in that task.
That spoiled brat was frightening in his intensity and vehemence. What would he be like when he got older? If his behavior isn't checked now he will grow to be a manipulative sociopath who will hurt others and probably wind up in prison. He was obviously raised with no discipline and totally spoiled. Let's hope the trip to the woodshed would do him some good.
At that point, Opie realized that this kid was NOT someone he should have anything to do with, lest he himself become just as selfish and rotten in time.
You cut out the turning point of the story where the spoiled boy is willing to have his father locked up in jail for 2 days so he can have the bicycle, you missed the turning point of the story
I loved Opie's line: "I don't wanna say. After all, he IS one of my own kind!" It's really funny because it's so natural and innocent, like any one of us would have said. :D
This is why reruns of Andy Griffin are still relevant today. Parents would be wise to play these reruns for their children often as there are so many valuable lessons taught in these old episodes from the past ... filmed in a time when T.V. had moral and ethical lessons woven into the plot.
@@OniLordMiki LOL didn't boomers create everything you love? Apple, Microsoft, old re-made movies, the modern internet. And here you are...just like the kid omg and here you are throwing the online equivalent of a tantrum LOL. Does your diaper need to be changed? "But the world is scary and its ruined as I play video games for 10 year olds and watch cartoons and I'm an adult" Haha you can't handle the real world hahahahaha. Omg its literally like your crying like the kid...this ѕ,,н..ι,,т surreal. Holy shit Bruce Bruce was right...this is the funniest ѕ,,н..ι,,т ever.
That statement is the funniest one of this whole scene: I don't want to lose my bike. Go ahead, put my Dad in jail he won't mind. Dang! Kid, I think he would mind, very much. The wood shed is truly an institution that we need to bring back.
The best portrayal of a father/son relationship. Andy was a model that it's a shame more dads didn't follow. He was a no-nonsense disciplinarian, made Opie work and insisted he be respectful, but ALWAYS was patient and explained why and also listened to his child and respected his feelings. Opie knew the rules[that become laws as we age]. and he feared punishment[police and jail], but not his father[society]
Our society needs more father's like Andy who has a sense of reality. Someone who doesn't believe that all kids should get a trophy. If you want a trophy or award. Work your ass off and earn it!
Yes, he didn't yell and demand respect (anyone that does that probably doesn't really deserve respect), he showed through his actions on a continuous regular basis what it means to have respect for yourself and others and treated Opie with the same respect and fairness.
It's the same except for drugs,and technology and the dollar is worth a penny if that. Teach your kids less tv and more about raising themselves to be good and to know wright from wrong and there really isn't any change.
I have to feel that the majority of viewers who find this video on RUclips today, are drawn to it because of the changes in parenting children from the past to how 'hands-off' parenting has become today, and of the nature of the story and the parallel of this old story as it should have been handled then compared to how parents and teachers have become soft on children in today's society in America. This parallel has much to do with how we as a society today; how we have been manipulated into coddling other's emotional outbursts rather than they being punished for their 'entitlement' mentality and behavior, rather than how they should have been handled long ago 'behind the wood shed'. But no, we (as a society) have been forced into submission to become sensitive to their 'special' needs rather than punished for their impudent, foolish, and impetuous behavior and outbursts. This has done more harm to children today than good. And I feel that it is time we stop coddling these types of children and childish adults for their whimsical behavior and lack of parenting, and finally take them all behind the proverbial woodshed for a change. This also goes for the 'modern family' that enable this style of foolishness in their households too; those parents that enable their children toward becoming society's problems later on in life. There is nothing wrong with a solid reminder from punishment when handled appropriately; I am not talking about child abuse, but of a child that does not learn the value of his or her role as a child without facing real consequences for their actions. Rules are in place for a reason, and there are consequences for breaking the rules. But in today's society, it seems as if rules are meant to be broken for the sake of their 'special needs' and 'entitlement mentality.' A child that passes through life without having to face the real consequences of their actions unpunished is destined to undermine the established set of rules and values that hold and bond us to the virtues of respect of discipline and behavior. Ultimately, an undisciplined child is bound to develop behavioral issues that later upsets and disrupts the balance of a proper society by enabling new laws that forbid punishment, and the child's misbehavior becomes normalized and protected. However, our society today is forbidden to discipline or punish these children and adults for their emotional outbursts and misbehaviors, but where in the past, by peer pressure and good parenting, their behavior would have been checked long ago behind the woodshed. I say, we need to preserve and protect the value and virtue of a good woodshed.
This is one of those shows I grew up on in the seventies. Can you imagine anyone else filling the roles of Andy and Barney? It's like the roles were made specifically for the two of them. Ron Howard did an awesome job as Opie as w well!!!
I saw an episode of _The Munsters_ where Arnold and Tex, Opie's friend who ran away from home to be a cowboy, were playing with walkie talkies, pretending to be Martians and Herman Munster heard them on his ham cb radio and thought they REALLY were Martians...🤣
I show this to my small group. Once they get beyond the black and white, they seem to enjoy it. They may miss some of the jokes real meaning, but the show has nice rhythm so young children find themselves laughing at the cadence alone. It is great for kids to see so later you just remind them of the Spoiled kid.
Awww, but the highlight of this show was when Barney says, "Go head and tell your dad!" The brat makes a face and says, "Neeeaaaahhh!" And Barney says, "Neeeeeeaaaaaaah!" Then Andy says, "Let's try to keep this at the adult level." You HAVE to add that part, or I'm gonna hold my breath and stomp my feet! Waaaaahhhhhh! lol
Policeman Barney, the most adept lawman ever, is simply MIRRORING when he does that. It's a very effective police maneuver. BTW, I'm kicking the table legs. That's my thing.
This episode had 2 hints of the future. The kids first name was Arnold. His last name was Winkler. Both names became important to Ron Howard in his next role.
My dad was a Sgt. in Vietnam in the day. Four tours. He brought a bunch of cherries off the plane. The VC started popping off a few...Welcome to Vietnam bullets. My dad said...yelled....Keep your heads down. Well...Cletus Bob...from Bum Phuque Arkansas... popped his head up. Hey Sar......Bam. 30 minutes in Vietnam...and you daid!!! Welcome to Life. Sad.
I think it would have been better to include the part of the story where the spoiled kid knocked the groceries out of the older lady’s hands at the beginning when riding the bike on the sidewalk. If he’d hit her directly it could have meant a broken bone or serious injury. To me that was more significant than the guy on the bench whittling. Great classic!! 😂❤
Still on TV LAND, SUNDe, and MeTV; so as long as we still got the reruns a few times once in a while, you don't have to worry too much about missing the andy griffith show, if it makes you feel any better.
Good gracious YES, what with all the PC around, One can't say anything that is either not Christian or will cause sad/bad/feelings. BS if it has to be said or done, then so be it.
A lot of parents are to busy working because can't make ends meet, so kids wounder in the wrong direction, or father drinks and does drugs, up to no good.
So $1 in 1960 is worth about $8 in 2016, but not quite sure if the show is really set in the 1960's as it feels more like an earlier time. But anyway, so 25 cents a week for 52 weeks is 13 bucks a year, which is about $104 in 2016... so yeah, I guess a year of garage cleaning at 25 cents/week can get you a bike. The extra buck a year for his raise to 27 cents/week will certainly get him a nice bell too! Yes, I'm on a coffee break, why do you ask?
the real issue is that in 1960 they had the confidence to put an amount on it- now they might not be specific, knowing it might be outdated in a couple of years and not make sense
I think it depends on how much work is being put in. Considering that Opie is under 10 years old, he's probably doing 15 minutes of actual work per day.
I think of this episode often when enforcing discipline on my school bus. I'm on a new summer school route right now with a lot of suburban soccer-mom type of kids and they like to act like Arnold in this clip, but I stick to my guns, just like Andy and let them know where the bear poops in the woods and it has been producing results. Thanks for the guidance in this manner, Sheriff Taylor!
Seems like this kid was born in 2000 and took a time machine back to 1963. The way this boy was raised is the way most kid of the current generation were
this is a classic episode! Great Post. I've been watching this for 40 years ( I can't believe it myself ) lol and its just as good today as it was then.
What a beautiful show miss those days wish you could bring those shows back we could enjoy watching them with our grandkids why would I wish them to come back
I'm the same age as Ron Howard. I grew up in that generation in a small town. I miss those days and all those shows like this to watch that you could really learn something good from.
I saw this episode for the first time and cringed when the kid said he was okay with them locking up his dad. I grew up being terrified of the idea of losing my parents, so that made me appreciate the woodshed more than anything.
I was a SLAVE growing up so the idea of getting an allowance was quite foreign. If I didn't do my chores I got punished, severely. $0.25/wk for the times was pretty damn decent, and Opie should be thankful: some kids don't get paid.
Steven Thiel The funny thing about that is that when you become a parent, food and shelter is supposed to be guaranteed. If you're a dad, you're on the hook to pay for a kid's freight until he's of age, whether he does his chores or not. You're *especially* on the hook if the marriage goes down south and with it comes vaginamony and child support. It comes as no surprise when my dad gets bogged down in debt, borrowing against his harder abilities to earn, that no matter how much I play Johnny-on-the-spot with my chores, it would not ease the debt burden by a single dollar. But as it is written, "A slave is not greater than his master." Ultimately, such a fine example has made me the man I've become: a poor, fledgling man who has virtually zero debt but only has enough to put food in his stomach and a roof over his head. My dad would be proud of the way he raised me.
@@Agent1W I know what you mean. I agree with you. There's a way to go about it. Just being a hard ass to your kid won't necessarily teach him the way you think it will.
This is awesome! I agree with the message 100%. That said, there is a qualification, i.e., the parenting method portrayed in this video is great for normal parents and normal children. Unfortunately, there are children with clinical behavioural problems (not their fault) and properly caring for such children might require a complicated approach that can be way beyond some parents. Society is left with the burden when these situations occur.
Im watching this again in 2024 and seeing how kids continue to get worse all the time, we need to go back to this when raising children was done much better , if we dont its all over !!!!!
the father sold the kid's bike, and the kid didn't get a red cent, only a red bottom in the woodshed. maybe the father used the money to get his own woodshed.
I loved this show growing up but there were a couple of episodes that were so contrived, they weren’t believable and this was one of them. Griffith went so overboard in trying to make the point that disciplining a spoiled kid is an act of love that he portrays the father as a hapless wimp and the kid a demon so, of course, Opie looked angelic and Andy a sensible parent in comparison. The most powerful and effective drama is more subtle and nuanced.
When I was growing up, we had a "job" jar. It had slips of paper in it for earning extra money. We did our regular chores for no pay but maybe got a dollar a week. This was in the 1960's
Today if you tell a kid not to ride their bike on the sidewalk, they will tell you to f-off while the parents take their side. Your fault for getting in the way of their kid.
Father: There's no need to impound that bike, hows that? Arnold: :D (hehe) Father: Im gonna sell it *Vine boom* Arnold: Sell it? YOUR GONNA SELL MY BIKE?! Father: Thats right Arnold Arnold: BUT ITS MY BIKE!! YOU CANT SELL MY BIKE! Father: Be quiet arnold. *Proceeds to cry*
Dayum! great t.v. I could sit here for hours drinkin' my coffee and watching reruns Thanks Andy! I don't think the father knew what a creep his son was.
Arnold's father is the Scottish banker from The Rifleman. He talked with a Scottish accent in it, much as James Doohan adopted a Scottish accent for his role in Star Trek.
There’s a whole bunch of adults who need to be taken out back to the wood shed.
true
All because their parents aren’t good parents
You can start with all those in power in DC.
And they're breeding
Especially the ones that I deal with on the road daily in my job driving a school bus.

I can't help but love this scene of an arrogant child being held accountable for his ignorant actions
He as also set up by his father. Not sure how you would classify his issue though.
The problem was the father tolerating the bad behavior. He was too gullible. If he hadn't been so naive, the kid wouldn't have taken advantage of this.

That little actor sure played a damn good spoiled brat 🤣
Kid actors do their best acting when they act like kids
Showing what kids became in today's society.
Boy could a lot of parents learned something from this episode

Pluto TV is free and it has Andy Griffith on any time you want to watch.
simply a better time! imagine if parents today still raised their kids this way! we might be in a whole lot better shape!!
Good gracious YES, what with all the PC around, One can't say anything that is either
not Christian or will cause sad/bad/feelings. BS if it has to be said or done, then
so be it.
A lot of parents are to busy working because can't make ends meet, so kids wounder in the wrong direction, or father drinks and does drugs, up to no good.
theres a real nice woodshed out back, a good old fashioned woodshed? real nice one. awesome
Oh, you got it coming now, boy!
A spanking he won't soon forget.
So $1 in 1960 is worth about $8 in 2016, but not quite sure if the show is really set in the 1960's as it feels more like an earlier time. But anyway, so 25 cents a week for 52 weeks is 13 bucks a year, which is about $104 in 2016... so yeah, I guess a year of garage cleaning at 25 cents/week can get you a bike. The extra buck a year for his raise to 27 cents/week will certainly get him a nice bell too! Yes, I'm on a coffee break, why do you ask?
the real issue is that in 1960 they had the confidence to put an amount on it- now they might not be specific, knowing it might be outdated in a couple of years and not make sense
Hey, growing up in the 2000s, I only got $5 a week (and yes, I did work for it).
yeah, and an aurora monster model was 98 cents, that's a lot of saving up!
I think it depends on how much work is being put in. Considering that Opie is under 10 years old, he's probably doing 15 minutes of actual work per day.
It makes my heart sink knowing no one knows these things.
I think of this episode often when enforcing discipline on my school bus. I'm on a new summer school route right now with a lot of suburban soccer-mom type of kids and they like to act like Arnold in this clip, but I stick to my guns, just like Andy and let them know where the bear poops in the woods and it has been producing results. Thanks for the guidance in this manner, Sheriff Taylor!
Seems like this kid was born in 2000 and took a time machine back to 1963. The way this boy was raised is the way most kid of the current generation were
this is a classic episode! Great Post. I've been watching this for 40 years ( I can't believe it myself ) lol and its just as good today as it was then.
Many parents need to watch this ... and then build a wood shed ...
Rip Andy Griffith
Gosh that relationship between Andy and Opie was one for the ages😊
Sometimes you just gotta take your kid out behind the tool shed - Andy Griffith (probably)
The kid who played the brat did a phenomenal job. I haven't seen acting this good since Jack Gleeson.
What a beautiful show miss those days wish you could bring those shows back we could enjoy watching them with our grandkids why would I wish them to come back
Best show ever, i always come away feeling great
Absolutely great. Wishing i lived in that world, good food.
Wholesome people. Entegrity
I'm the same age as Ron Howard. I grew up in that generation in a small town. I miss those days and all those shows like this to watch that you could really learn something good from.
I suppose all you "new parents" would just give him a time-out. Good luck with that.
Way to judge everyone in a generation.
time-out has been around for at least 30 years so ...way to be relevant with your comments
Parent's back then also did time out. Your attempt at trying to divide people is weak.
I'm here because of Tom Segura and that's because of Bruce Bruce LMFAO
"Twix, skittles, sh!t like that!"
Hey! It's the Affluenza Kid!
I saw this episode for the first time and cringed when the kid said he was okay with them locking up his dad. I grew up being terrified of the idea of losing my parents, so that made me appreciate the woodshed more than anything.
What did he think was gonna happen when he said to throw his dad in jail? Self-entitlement makes you stupid.
one of my favorite shows when I was a kid and still is. ❤️❤️ Good old days. Too bad things aren't this way today
That is so atrocious that a kid would sacrifice their own parent for a bicycle
I was a SLAVE growing up so the idea of getting an allowance was quite foreign. If I didn't do my chores I got punished, severely. $0.25/wk for the times was pretty damn decent, and Opie should be thankful: some kids don't get paid.
my dad always said i give you food in your belly and a roof over your head so doing chores was expected.
Steven Thiel The funny thing about that is that when you become a parent, food and shelter is supposed to be guaranteed. If you're a dad, you're on the hook to pay for a kid's freight until he's of age, whether he does his chores or not. You're *especially* on the hook if the marriage goes down south and with it comes vaginamony and child support.
It comes as no surprise when my dad gets bogged down in debt, borrowing against his harder abilities to earn, that no matter how much I play Johnny-on-the-spot with my chores, it would not ease the debt burden by a single dollar. But as it is written, "A slave is not greater than his master."
Ultimately, such a fine example has made me the man I've become: a poor, fledgling man who has virtually zero debt but only has enough to put food in his stomach and a roof over his head. My dad would be proud of the way he raised me.
Not sure if you saw the episode, but the brat got an ass whoopin, and opie learned not to fuck with idiots
hey you got to use the F word! Just like a real junior high kid !
@@Agent1W I know what you mean. I agree with you. There's a way to go about it. Just being a hard ass to your kid won't necessarily teach him the way you think it will.
great show family values, and much love.
I love when kids yell at adults that they're going to tell their dads! I find it hilarious!
Classic. :-) Would that all mothers and fathers parented like this...Fabulous.
This is awesome! I agree with the message 100%. That said, there is a qualification, i.e., the parenting method portrayed in this video is great for normal parents and normal children. Unfortunately, there are children with clinical behavioural problems (not their fault) and properly caring for such children might require a complicated approach that can be way beyond some parents. Society is left with the burden when these situations occur.
"I was holding my breath"
"Good lung exercise" 😅
3:54 like any kid, Opie looks at that Dad to see his reaction
Nowadays spanking is considered "Child Abuse". I'm 16 years old and I can wholeheartedly say, Spanking WORKS.
@tiptop 123 Yup
The "Board of Education " readily applied to the ",Seat of Knowledge " definitely works.
When he says " I want my bike " I see the self deserving, self destruction of the new generation in his eyes.
This is a classic, thanks for posting it!
I know I'm not the only one who like a child said "ha ha little freaking brat" 😂🤣
Still watch this every day along with Gunsmoke.
Im watching this again in 2024 and seeing how kids continue to get worse all the time, we need to go back to this when raising children was done much better , if we dont its all over !!!!!
my Great grandma loved this show :(
Oh no... they mentioned the wood old fashion wood shed growing up with parents from this era brings back fond memories
Poor Arnold lost his bike and he got a woopin.
the father sold the kid's bike, and the kid didn't get a red cent, only a red bottom in the woodshed. maybe the father used the money to get his own woodshed.
An all time great. Watched this every night with my dad growing up
I loved this show growing up but there were a couple of episodes that were so contrived, they weren’t believable and this was one of them. Griffith went so overboard in trying to make the point that disciplining a spoiled kid is an act of love that he portrays the father as a hapless wimp and the kid a demon so, of course, Opie looked angelic and Andy a sensible parent in comparison. The most powerful and effective drama is more subtle and nuanced.
Andy Taylor had legendary leadership
When I was growing up, we had a "job" jar. It had slips of paper in it for earning extra money. We did our regular chores for no pay but maybe got a dollar a week. This was in the 1960's
Today if you tell a kid not to ride their bike on the sidewalk, they will tell you to f-off while the parents take their side. Your fault for getting in the way of their kid.
Not where I live!
Good ol woodshed ! Nothing like catching a beating in the wood shed or the shop lol 😆
Father: There's no need to impound that bike, hows that?
Arnold: :D (hehe)
Father: Im gonna sell it
*Vine boom*
Arnold: Sell it? YOUR GONNA SELL MY BIKE?!
Father: Thats right Arnold
Arnold: BUT ITS MY BIKE!! YOU CANT SELL MY BIKE!
Father: Be quiet arnold.
*Proceeds to cry*
That spoiled kid is now 70 years old.
This is great. I can't find programming like this today.
At 2:36, terrific performance by young Ron Howard! 😄
What the world needs today good old-fashioned wood sheds
SOMETHING THE SNOWFLAKE GENERATION PARENTS FORGOT TO TEACH 😔
Apparently noone taught you how to take your finger off the shift key.
Dayum! great t.v. I could sit here for hours drinkin' my coffee and watching reruns
Thanks Andy! I don't think the father knew what a creep his son was.
Goodness, Arnold! If you're gonna pretend to cry make it believable. 😅
I like how Opie stood up for Arnold.
I always hated having to go pick out a switch. It made you think about things.
My mom would would make me go back and pick another switch if the one I brought wasn't good enough LOL!
Arnold's father is the Scottish banker from The Rifleman. He talked with a Scottish accent in it, much as James Doohan adopted a Scottish accent for his role in Star Trek.
