At the end, the kid's father implies that he's taking him out to the wood shed for a whipping. I'll bet you couldn't get that on television today because of political correctness.
Taking him to the woodshed is one thing, but if I remember the episode correctly, Andy, the chief law enforcement official in the town, laughs and tells the dad where he can find an appropriate stick (perhaps a switch), with which to beat the boy. Now that's just plain wrong.
Of course, Klyd .
Do you remember the episode where Opie's friend slept over and Opie got jealous because the boy was going to sleep in Andy's room with Andy?
I think Andy may have even mentioned the boy sleeping in his bed. Now it was a much different time, and it was surely innocent. But try getting that on television today .
