Everyone is praising Ron Howard in this clip, but seriously the kid who is acting bratty deserves some credit. He did a marvelous job at acting as a spoiled brat, so much so to the point of hating him. He definitely achieved that with me.
Like another commenter said, the look on Opie's face was priceless. I think Ron Howard was one of the best child actors of all time. Actually, I think both of the kids performed excellent acting jobs in this scene. And the whole episode is excellent. Teaches solid, responsible child rearing, such as would never appear on televislion today.
Ron Howard’s parents were both actors. They both helped Ron with his dialog and body/facial expressions. His dad Rance Howard was in several of his director son’s films too (I remember in Apollo 13 film - his dad was the minister and his mother played the grandmother).
@@tyvulpintaur2732 You can easily achieve the desired results without spanking. The need of spanking reflects poorly on the parenting style of the adults. I have raised several kids that are not spoiled at all, and I have never had to resort to any form of striking them. The adults who can not achieve what I did without striking their children are weak minded fools.
@@tyvulpintaur2732 I did not say they couldn't but do not state that it is needed. It is weakness and a fool who relies on it. If people want to be weak fools I can not stop them but I will openly judge them about it.
The look on Opie's face seeing this kid scream and talk back the way he did was great. Nowadays, we sure could use more of those "real nice woodsheds"!
In 2016, The Mount Airy News caught up with Ronnie Dapo (Arnold Winkler), the retired 64-year-old actor, who reflected on his career and time in Mayberry. After he delivered his famous fit on the set, "The whole place stood up and applauded me," he recalled. "Parts like that were great." He left showbiz at the age of 14 and would go on to work in music, steel and printing.
This is one of my favorite episodes. The young actor aced the part of a spoiled kid - - his facial expressions, body language and the way he spoke - - wow, what a superb performance. 👍👍👏👏❣️
Key statement: "he's a child you are responsible for his behavior." I can remember when parents were responsible for the actions of their children until the age of 16. Kids were much better behaved back then. Imagine how many parents would be imprisoned tomorrow if we reinstated that law today.
Can you imagine the uproar today if a tv show suggested taking a child to the woodshed? However it did work well 50 or 60 years ago. Time to bring it back.
they still show this episode...but spanking is not in anyone's vocabulary nowadays...there was an older woman at work that thought you use the belt to choke kids (she never used it on her kids)
Heh. I wonder how many folks under the age of 30 would even grasp the significance of a "real nice woodshed". I'm in my 40's, and I dare say that some in my age group wouldn't get it.
There's a few politicians that could benefit fm a trip to the wood shed. Are you listening AOC, Nancy just to name a couple of em? Let's Go Brandon!!!!🇺🇸😎
2:28 The slow dawning of what Andy's saying on the father's face is just a great touch, really. And, yeah, the look on Ronny Howard's face as he looks uncomfortable and a little embarrassed at the other kid's fake crying and outright disrespect is great acting for anyone, but especially for somebody that young.
@@NickTheNewbieBeat the shit out of him? This show never advocated beating the shit out of children. The show gave numerous visual lessons about the proper way for kids to behave around the parents, their elders and society in general. The kid Arnold was a manipulative little brat trying to fake cry innocence in front of the softy dad. The dad caught on after the stare down from Andy. The kid likely got a well deserved ass spanking from his dad. As it should be. That's a huge leap from getting the shit beat out of him. Don't you see? Take care.
No, not "beat the shit out of him." He was telling the father he could spank his son, not beat him. If you don't know the difference, you need to learn.@@NickTheNewbie
This father should have donated the bike to an orphanage and then he should made his unruly son do volunteer work at the orphanage, after the trip to the woodshed!
Plenty of kids in the 70s and 80s yelled at their fathers even in the 60s some people have lied to us back in the old days there was a lot of disrespectful kids just as there are today. Also kids in the 20th century were 20x times worse than what they are today.
Wow, I just watched this episode with my kids! What I loved about this show was that while the topic of discipline was a running theme, Andy was not one to resort to spanking as a first resort. He was always looking for ways to teach lessons to Opie and that was just great.
One of the best scenes from the entire series, along with the cabin scene with the female inmate dancing with Barney, the guys struggling to eat Aunt Bea's pickles, and Gomer's date with Thelma Lou's cousin. Many others too, but those are my faves!
Being a coward parent is the most damaging thing you can do to your kids, you’ll get this 1:52 and society won’t be as nice about it, hence jail. It tough to discipline but if you do it out of love, and NOT in anger is a gift to your child yourself and society.
As a former spoiled child myself, this scene is very satisfying; i dont like it when other kids have nice things and i love it when those things get taken away
It only seems that way because they can so easily be recorded and put on the Internet. Make NO mistake about it, this sort of thing most definetly DID happen then. Just as much, maybe even more so.
@@JohnSmith-zw8vp i am sure an extremely low percentage of children acted out like this back then and im also sure they got disciplined for it i know i did. most kids today dont even get a slap on the wrist they just get an electronic device shoved in their face to keep them quiet and rot their brain.
My favorite part in this episode is when the dad said to Andy telling him he didn't had to worry about the bike and the spoiled boy the look on his face thinking he's getting his way to changing to whining and freaking out that his dad was planning on selling his bike was absolutely priceless 😂
Kratos: There was a young man who was caught stealing and condemned to die. His mother came to visit his prison. She was a kind woman, who could only give love. But her son, the thief, met her with rage and bit off her ear. Atreus: What! Why? Kratos: Because the boy had always been a thief. And his mother had taught him only love, and nothing of consequences. Had he been taught discipline instead, he might have lived longer. Atreus: Sure, but… her ear… that’s not right.
I think people are finally realizing (too late) the consequences of not establishing a clear line to not cross and the role of the father in discipline. I can count spankings with one hand because my soft spoken Dad just raising his voice automatically made me freeze whatever I was doing and that storm clouds were gathering if wanted to push it. My Dad later told me "You may have cried a little from your spanking-but I always wanted to cry afterward."
Gotta have the father in the household rather than forced to visit due to child visitation agreements after divorce. Then we have to make sure that parents, especially fathers may be allowed by law to actually punish their children and not have our hands tied. No one would bat an eye if a father was whooping his son for doing something wrong during the era of this show but you’ll damn near get 20-life for doing it now.
as a kid, watching this, it really only was a TV show. Who in the WORLD would have thought we would look back on THIS scene (heck, even THIS show) and really wish things went back to the way it was? I never would have thought this would come to pass....
The spanking he got in the woodshed probably helped he showed up in a later episode and didnt act spoiled he was with opie and both were spooked by the rimshaw house when they lost a baseball Arnold as an adult: yeah i was a terrible child until i was 9. After i wouldn't listen to local law enforcment about riding my bike on the sidewalk i through a tantrum. My father realized what i was turning into. He gave me my 1st spanking and sold my bike as punishment. After that i learned to be a better person i think about that wise sherriff every once in awhile and smile Remember, the law applies to everyone. It might not seem fair, but you can always ask them to show you where it says what you're doing is against the law. If it's in there you accept the punishment and try to learn from it
I wished nothing changed and we were living in much safer times back in the day. In today's world criminals everywhere is getting away with every single crime they commit. Our American values has gone to shit and parents aren't parenting their own children anymore. They allow their children to do whatever their heart desires to do. I could go on and write a book about this matter. But I think you all know what I'm trying to say anyway.
0:26 If the director would have added another line for Andy in this scene after he said Law is the Law, from my words that Andy should also say Parenting is Part of Life & you need to understand that!
It's funny. This one popped up in my feed, made me remember seeing the entire episode when I was a kid, reruns on channel 2. Oddly, every time I read bedtime stories to my nephews I turn into Andy. Guess he had an affect on me when I was young.
Did you see that father's eyes glow when the sheriff told him about the woodshed?? Real fathers will use that woodshed,.....a sorry father won't. Back in my day, when I acted a fool, my 80-year old grandmother would make me pick out my own hickory switch, and she wouldn't use it,.....SHE WOULD MAKE ME WHIP MY OWN ASS WITH IT TO HER SATISFACTION........I miss her to this very day.
The morale of the story,if you don't discipline your children now. A cop will have to later.
A cop AND a judge
And a coroner
Or someone with a weapon and no patience.
Bubba will.
It’s the moral of the story. Morale is something else.

Sheldon Collins is the bratty kid in this and it looks like he’s is or was a dentist in Pueblo,Colorado.

Agree with you about Ron Howard. He didn't overdo it or try too hard to be cute. He was great, along with the entire cast!
Such a great episode. Spoiled kid has such a smug look, when he thinks he’s going to get his way!!! Two child actors with plenty of talent.
No question about it. I admire his natural abilities as well.
@@amandainsa1048 And we know how that turned out in the long run: very well, actually, when you look at many of the films he directed
Television / Hollywood are devoted to destroying society, making money is merely the icing on the cake .
☆
Opie's face was priceless when Arnold said he'd rather have his Dad in jail and keep his bike. 😟 😰
That’s because he was learning a very important lesson
And he knew what was right and what was wrong
Ron Howard’s parents were both actors. They both helped Ron with his dialog and body/facial expressions. His dad Rance Howard was in several of his director son’s films too (I remember in Apollo 13 film - his dad was the minister and his mother played the grandmother).
I sure hope no child in real life (then or now) is THAT spoiled.
Well I think those are all lessons we can learn through
".....He's one of my kind." I like Andy's reaction.😂
I think this scene is probably the most viewed and discussed of this series. That tells us that discipline is missed in today's society.
Today that would be viewed as child abuse, sadly. Sometimes children need this kind of discipline.

Everything you need to know about living a decent life is covered by this show

I hope Opie ditched Arnold after he saw how big a turd he is.
Except for how battery is a crime. Like yeah the kid deserved a heaping of punishment, but we're not gonna be monsters here.

Applause- definitely a happier ending to the scene, than what the script was calling for! 😮
Applause definitely beats the woodshed out back.

Thank you
I'm glad he decided to leave showbiz. I hope he's had a fulfilling life since the days he played a spoiled brat on the Andy Griffith Show.
This is the best show ever on TV. Nothing today compares to it.
Prompted me to recall that old adage that it is a wise parent who knows when to oversee and when to overlook.

This is what's truly missing in our society today. Don't be afraid to discipline your kids. Your doing them a real favor by doing so.

We'll look around us today.😢
If a child misbehaves they should face the consequences for their behavior!
the moment he mentioned the woodshed out back, i just had the biggest grin cuz i knew what was coming lol
I read that the actor that played Arnold either got a standing ovation or a round of applause from the crew after the scene was done.
Ronny Howard should have been nominated for an Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in that series!
A lot of kids today could use a few trips to an old fashioned woodshed!
So could a lot of "Adults"....😲😵😡😕😔
Karens
@@tracivela9137 Absolutely! A lot of adults, today,were raised without a woodshed.

Raise YOUR children so that other ppl CAN stand to be around them. That's it

These are the basic values that has been forgotten by the common sense in today's society. Sad as it is.
Ironically, its the people who grew up with these values who have raised children who, as you put it, have "forgotten" these values.

This is how you parent.
Andy did the parenting here. Mr. Winkler needed the lesson as much as Arnold.
Sad to say but now most kids and young adults act just like that young boy in this episode.

Such a weak generation 😢
Before there was a judge Judy there was a Andy Griffith 😮
I absolutely love the beautifly subtle way he basically said "whoop his ass."

I never wondered why I got my ass busted. I did learn from it.
I can't wait for the episode where the kid grows up and comes back for revenge? Like Khan!!!!!!
Things you'll never see on TV again, lol. Nothing solves a bratty child problem faster than a "long talk" behind a woodshed.

The old casual corporal punishment.
If you remember the little boy named Leon in this show. This was Ron Howards little brother in real life.
Clint Howard
This was a great and realistic episode
"I want my two hunnerd dollars!" ~~
I let my son know from day one who was in charge and he’s never been a problem
Take the lesson “modern parents”
This is what we need back in the US
I remember this episode "Arnold catches an ass whippin'" I believe was the title.
Hopefully that Arnold guy grew up to be a responsible young man, not a jailbird.
see my comment above...
The spanking he got in the woodshed probably helped he showed up in a later episode and didnt act spoiled he was with opie and both were spooked by the rimshaw house when they lost a baseball

Should be required watching for all parents raising woke crazy
