Let Opie from Mayberry Tell The Truth

www.thearlingto... - In this classic episode of the Andy Griffith show Opie reminds us that we all should be honest and forthcoming when selling anything even a house. Since all sellers aren't as forthcoming as Opie, We recommend getting a home inspection on every home purchase.

I love this episode. There's often a part missing from the tour scene where Barney becomes so fed up with Opie's honesty, he discreetly shoves the poor kid into the downstairs closet 😄

[@randybock82]

Love it when Barney comes back with that angry look at Opie 🤣

[@Jeremysepicreads]

The last line Opie say is what kills you. It's the truth

[@Thomas-yr9ln]

Them are pushed together wall units. Probably one of the few episodes that they showed a celling.

[@angelacarleton9575]

Nothing worse than a kid telling the "Truth!" LOL

[@scootermom1791]

Nah! It just means the child was raised right. I wish all kids told the truth like this nowadays.

[@patrciaclemons8183]

@@scootermom1791 can't say the truth, my opinion or perspective may be different than yours, than you'll sue me.

[@michaelbiddleman2719]

Yep you can 1 try to lie you way of of trouble or Two you can face less trouble buy doing the right thing and telling the truth.

[@robertsenseman4339]

Best show that ever was

[@anthonytan7134]

so much to learn from Opie

[@davidpanetta6400]

Full disclosure, pa. That's what you taught me. Maybe that should be a law.

[@scootermom1791]

I love how this was used, very appropriately, to prove a point about home inspections. Genius!

[@annmarie7488]

Love Dabbs Greer. He has a very lengthy list of credits to his name. He also played Rev. Alden on Little House on the Prairie.

[@dukethekiddjr.russell8831]

Played the store keeper on gunsmoke.

[@calvada1]

So does Amzie Strickland.

[@scootermom1791]

I had no idea this was Rev. Alden in this scene! Wow! He's so young here! I love him, too. Great actor!

[@justina249]

Dabs is buried just down the road from me in missouri

[@Hiraghm]

He was also the old man in "The Green Mile"... Tom Hanks' character.

[@How2Stu]

Love that episode

[@kailakatsaidthat9130]

The "real estate" chuckles from Barney 😭😂😂

[@joswanell5792]

That last line from Opie. ... NOW he's catching on!!

[@grisslebear]

Don't get mad when you raise a kid to be honest, & he does it.

[@solidwoods6999]

One of life's many lessons .

[@sweetbeauty2153]

Yes you're right...it is that children should stay in a child's place and not in the company of adults when guests come over!

[@sweetbeauty2153]

@Shy Cutie Apparently, you don't either...

[@carolynmobley4882]

I love this!

[@erin6083]

I used to own a beautiful historical house in a colonial city. My son about that same age as Opie in this clip did the exact same thing to us during every showing! He thought he was “helping”! Haha

[@benjaminredekopp1701]

Whish everyone was like opie When I bought this house I learned the hard way.

[@99jpp5245]

Brian, Just saw this....it is great.... it has surprisingly gotten little play>>>

[@adambrickell6425]

That is a very young Dabs Greer I believe. Reverend to be on little house on the prairie

[@scootermom1791]

It is! So surprising. I wouldn't have recognized him.

[@mtcarmelman632]

I'm a HUGE Fan of the show and I don't recall this episode, when did it air?????

[@angelacarleton9575]

Neither do I. I wish I knew when this episode showed up?

[@ArlingtonInspector]

This is something I found online. I am not sure when it aired.

[@mtcarmelman632]

@@ArlingtonInspector Thanks for replying!

[@Naith123]

It was Season 5 Ep 16, Barney Fife Realtor. mayberry.fandom.com/wiki/Barney_Fife,_Realtor

[@jeanmarcks6269]

It was on tvland a week or two ago!

[@joshfactor1]

the kid's got a point; it does seem like a double standard

[@suttybuddy7273]

Total hypocrisy.

[@mikecross137]

Love it

[@noorrougelewis6704]

I see a bunch of nicely dressed people from the 1950s who gawk at the slightest hint of rudeness.

[@docadams7099]

That's Dabbs Greer as the Mr. Sims.

[@gregatkinson7276]

I know by experience that "home inspections" are largely a racket to benefit the "inspector" and the real estate agent. The buyer of course is always the victim....

[@lianecornils6603]

I would never discourage the truth. Would you ? 👨‍⚕️

0:45 my pipes sound like that now sometimes.

Man I love the truth!!!

Ops Got a Point There!

[@katycoolidge9615]

Inspection wow Opie lol

[@suzanneberger8202]

Telling the truth wasn't good for the adults I see! Kids are NOT stupid..The truth is the truth whether you are a kid or especially an informed adult trying to weedle their wayout of a convenient lie and one to the kid.... worse still! 🤔

[@alanstrong3295]

Don't recall this episode.

[@DonTruman]

I'm disappointed in Andy. That was out of character for him, though it also was showing how you can do bad things while going along with a cultural norm. But I expect later in the episode Andy comes to his senses, recognizes the error of his way, and learns a life lesson himself.

[@kimberleestovall9519]

Lol

[@robertmorris8997]

Barney the unethical real estate agent. Just out for his commission. If you watch the episode, his whole problem is because of that.

[@filiadiaboli3004]

😂😂😂

[@viking956]

Kind of like when a parent spanks their kid for cussing and cusses while doing so.

[@justina249]

I remember that. My mom and dad cussed like a sailor but if I did my mom would let me have it. My dad let me do as I pleased

[@romaineworth6668]

Nogtbi so

[@Amanda-py8ff]

Kids should sit I the Florida congress at least every month.
