The Andy Griffith Show (S3E21) - Opie and the Spoiled Kid(3/3)

That kid can tamper all he wants, but he'll never get that bike back.

[Souplesse000]

We got a real nice woodshed out back if you wanna beat your child. Go ahead,knock his little face in we won't do nothin'.

[phillyfanatic25]

I hate people who say spanking is wrong. It's NOT wrong! Kids nowadays need a good slap every now and then.

[CosbyTheCaterpillar]

I love how right after andy says the word IMPOUND he cries really loud

[marvelmax03191]

my parents spanked me and I turned out better for it.

[DrummerBoy922]

Impounding a bike for a week is nothing. Where I live, they confiscate your bike for TWO weeks if you ride on downtown sidewalks. Each time after that, they fine you twenty bucks.

[Eye2EyeIIIV]

Boy, Andy handles situations quite well! ;)

[Petsounz]

Well, take it from a social worker who has worked in child abuse - spanking is NOT abuse. Abuse is only with you hit someone hard enough to leave marks - a swat on the butt is not considered abuse. I will share this with you: my friend taught first grade and had trouble with only one aggressive child in the class. This child was always hitting other children. Turns out her parents were the ones who didn't believe in spanking as they thought it "taught violence." Go figure.

Wow, I've seen some spoiled brats before but I think this kid wins the gold. Spoiled to the point that he not only thinks he gets whatever he wants but to the point that he'd see his father locked up to get what he wants. Utter UTTER lack of respect and display of selfishness. I think his father finally realized what a monster he created giving him everything when he heard him say "Let them lock you up." Never ever would I have talk to my father this way, put sumpm on his rump!

[redneckjwillo]

good old fassion wood shed haha real nice one



[ILovestorms]

He was very selfish.

[ECOWarrior100]

I hope they have some loose boards in that woodshed. It sure would straighten out that brat.

[Squirrel36]

Dang, Opie's face was a mixture of shock and chagrin at 2:08................

[RainbowElf86]

That boy doesn't give a hoot about his father...........

[Petsounz]

Parents today would say the little brat had too much sugar, or maybe he had "special needs." Funny how we ate sugar all the time and we behaved - spankings worked wonders!

[Domination584]

@Petsounz You still can't justify physical abuse. If the dad had just raised the kid better, he wouldn't be acting like this to begin with. Kids are almost never inherently bad; it's usually just parents who spoil them and let them become arrogant and inconsiderate. But the solution isn't hitting kids. The solution is to prevent them from acting badly in the first place.

[marvelmax03191]

@Domination584 yes, but a good spanking helps the point hit home better, ya know?

[wendybitch06]

@Domination584 absolutley true because discipline starts when you either conceived a child or when he or she is already in this world.

[soulstice99]

good lesson for parents these days

[lamccaugh]

@soulstice99 Yeah I agree, that clip would make a learning tool for planned parenting groups and DCF (Department Of Children and Families) sessions

[rivermoonrise]

Man, that kid needs a beating.
