I agree, but it went both ways. Andy learned some valuable lessons about faith and trust from Opie - like in the "Mr. McBeevee" and "Opie's Charity" episodes.
Love this scene! Ronnie Howard was raised by two really good parents. I’ve seen video where Andy Griffith or Ron Howard (I forget which) talk about how Rance Howard came to Andy and said he didn’t want them to write Opie as a smart-alec kid. His funny lines were said without attitude. Made Opie way more lovable and real. Much like Ron is in real life.
I thought that he only had one parent on that show, being Andy Griffith. Now Aunt Bea wasn't his mother. She was his aunt. But she practically raised him whenever she came into that house
Well, I'm a bit prejudiced, but I think my son was the cutest, most adorable boy I'd ever seen, and then he was a gorgeous, handsome man who attracted beautiful women by the dozens. He was killed in an accident when he was only 31, and he was handsome....and cute (being his mother, he was always "cute" to me), even in death.
Wish they could have included the part where Barney comes in and puts on an act to teach Opie a lesson about being a sore loser ,pretending to be mad over getting turned down for that pay raise he was counting on,then throws a real fit when Andy tells him he really did get turned down,very funny scene.
Went a revival tonight and the pastor closed the service by telling us about this particular episode and he used it in a meaningful way to explain how we shouldn't disappoint the Holy Spirit by our actions, but instead live like Jesus
@Shy Cutie I want to know what happened to Opie Taylor's mother. But I know for a fact that Andy Taylor was a great father to him. Aunt Bee did a great job raising him too but she was not his mother. His mother never was ever even mentioned, not even her name was mentioned. I am just wondering if there's an explanation for that if someone can enlighten me. That's where my confusion is at and I would feel better if I knew what happened. I don't think it matters whether or not Andy was his natural father because he loved him like a real father should and that is all that matters.
@@patriciaedwards6793 In the storyline, Andy is a widower. His wife died when his son was just a baby, but its unclear if she died in childbirth or from something else.
Taking His name in vain won't increase the number of comments. As to your foolish question, there are multiple generations that didn't grow up watching these shows, and now find them to be too simplistic---there's no murder/blood/gore, no slash-and-kill, no sex, nothing that attracts the sick generations that make up too much of the population today.
If you want to be a good parent, watch all the episodes of andy griffith
Forgot how beautiful this show was.....love those Andy with Opie learning lessons.
wish the parents were more like this man and the parents my generation had. now they are baby adult bringing up more so to be baby adults.
I agree, but it went both ways. Andy learned some valuable lessons about faith and trust from Opie - like in the "Mr. McBeevee" and "Opie's Charity" episodes.
He was the cutest little boy. We all need a daddy like Andy!
I wish I could do that to my son, a real tear jerker!
Ron Howard was so precious - and talented! - as a little boy. Grew into a decent man.
Howard grew into a flaming lib….typical
Lmfao. Hollywood

Excellent assessment. I read that as well.

True - Opie only had one parent, but Ron Howard, who played him, had two parents.
It was sad. Made me cry. Like father and son's seens.
I love this clip. It shows that no everyone needs to be a winner. Just because you’re a loser doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world.
I love this scene. It is important to be a good loser and also a good winner. Feeling good about winning is easy, just don’t be obnoxious about it.
And right at that moment, Barney puts on his Sore Loser Act.🤭🤣
I love the father & Son’s Scenes
Is he not the cutest, most adorable boy you've ever seen?

He might tie with Leon, who was played by his real life younger brother Clint.
@@jb6712 I'm so sorry for your loss!
He really loved opie
Mature human being..you'll know when that happens!

and Opie says, you sure are a sore loser, Barney...
One of my favorites!!!!
I luv this show. Great safe times. Andy is a great role model. Truth be told of loosing
I love andy show...
Awwwww I love thissss❣❣❣🥺🥺🥺🥺
They were so good.
not toi mention happy days!

The little boy who plays Opie is so precious!!💕❤💕🌈

That’s Ron Howard who grew up to be a great director
You really don’t know who that is?
@@blumbenot to mention starring in a little show called Happy Days.
I prefer 'succeeding' to 'winning'; just my 2 cents...
2022
does anybody know what happened to Andy wife on the show
because I don't know
Sarah Hughes she passed while giving birth
@@bsteve2783
thank you for telling me
@@bsteve2783 I looked it up - says she died during Opie's first year of life.
Love this episode. It teaches you how not to be a sore loser. And a good winner. A certain orange politician could learn from this.
So glad I had these shows to grow up with.
Millions of SJW's now hate Andy after watching this.
Actually, Barney's $2.75 Chinese dinner for two was somewhat pricey: In 2021 dollars, it would set him back around $25.50, hardly a cheap meal 🍜
Not really an expensive meal in the 21st century, not when ordinary restaurants such as IHOP charge $15 for a dinner for one person.
How in God's name, can they're be this small amount of comments to Andy and Opie scenes???????

@@jb6712 Your being sanctimonious did not help. Good grief.
Sound quality has taken a giant leap into some stupido ditch. I wish I could’ve heard it better.
Wish then we did not see yer post. Good grief.

Today's spoiled brat monsters and their woke parents could learn a lot from watching these old shows.
Trump needs to watch this!
Wait until China Joe and Kamaltoe watch the episode on honesty!
no comparison between them and the lying POS trump.
@@markusnashorn1145 That was awesome! Great job.
@@dbaxxxxx Lieing POS????
You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet with, Lien Biden and HeelsUp Harris being Placed into power.
No, HILLARY needs to watch it!!!! 😡😡
To bad Donald Trump didn't have a father like Andy.
Too bad Bill Gucci cannot stop thinking about Trump!
Opie was one of the best child actors. How about them violins to goose the emotions? The losing lesson is what MAGAs need right now!
Grow up.
@@billhosko7723 You didn’t learn anything from Andy, did you? He never said that to Opie or anyone else.
Trump still living rent free huh?
If only Andy Griffith had been Donald Trumps father!
"If only" we did not see sanctimonious posts such as yours...
