The Andy Griffith Show "Opie's Poem"

Barney threatens to resign after he thinks Opie writes a poem about him on the wall of the bank.

[@kevdogrudi7260]

Perhaps the greatest television series of all time

[@BobHolepit]

Most definitely

[@readytogo6569]

They took off like 2 hound dogs backed into a porcupine. And he says it so perfectly! 🤣

[@clementeandgarcia8331]

Arguably the greatest show of its kind.

[@brandosadventure]

I love Andy's face after he reads that poem

[@christopherveeser9679]

Barney’s reaction is priceless!😆😆😆

[@mpaxton8991]

My Dad exploded at that poem. I wish I could hear him laugh like that again.

[@tombrown8715]

I believe somday u will

[@sjar4686]

Sounds like VP of today

[@thelastjohnwayne]

Opie had to be the cutest kid with great lines and great timing ever on TV

[@sweetcaroline2060]

Yeah. Opie was just the cutest kid🥰🤩😘

[@gnordt]

Opie’s “Are you a criminal” scene in a different episode is my favorite.

[@DJ-bj8ku]

“I replaced the pea but I ain’t going to charge you for it.” 😂

[@MrDusty515]

I don’t even know how Andy Griffith kept a straight face after hearing the poem, I would have busted out laughing.

[@pamelaclark6332]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣yelp

[@brendalg4]

Because it was in the script?

[@MrDusty515]

@@brendalg4 but you can clearly see that he was trying to keep himself from laughing by trying to cover his mouth.

[@jonathanbowling2904]

I think he walked away and covered his face at that point.

Great show that is etched in my memory until the day i die. We watched as a family every week and it was a beautiful time growing up in the 60s.....

[@tombrown8715]

If u ever come back to these comments i want u to no ther r many of us who feel the same way

[@user-ky2sn8nw2i]

At least you ⌚ TV! My dad made us watch Ed Sullivan! Ha

[@maryjotreadaway7703]

My dad would always whistle along to the intro. Watched the show as a family. Best memories!

[@patrickperalta59]

After Barney read the poem you notice Andy cover his mouth and turn away to hide the fact he was laughing.

[@readytogo6569]

He did that a lot throughout the series. 💗😆

[@DJ-bj8ku]

Yeah, it’s called acting. smh

[@msjtoyou2]

"There once was a deputy named Fife. Who carried a gun and a knife. The gun was all dusty, the knife all rusty cuz he never caught a crook in his life"....lol

I love that character for some reason

[@jannapitts3188]

For one thing Opie wouldn’t lie to me. YOU a call that evidence?! And....another thing is Opie doesn’t know how to WRITE yet... Well what’s that got to do with-?! Don’t you just love their relationship~

[@Richard-oc3vt]

You gotta watch the whole show from beginning to end b'cuz it's one of the funniest ever 😂😂 !!!

[@markwillcox720]

Mr Richard you sir are correct, it's got to be one of the best! I think Otis doing his driving test in the courthouse floor with Barney, making car sounds and having road rage back in 1964 hot rod Otis first aired 2/17/1964 another 2 thumbs up 👍👍😁

[@sandramassie7099]

Show the whole show !

[@sr71ablackbird]

that is pretty funny, what's even funnier is when opie gets thelma lou and andy tells barney that he never should have told opie about his secrets of getting women. it's called `the rivals'.

[@melonyrash4543]

He ain't leand how to write yet😂😂😂

[@user-ky2sn8nw2i]

The best! I have the whole collection! Ron Howard, Andy Griffith, Don Knots... nothing better!

™If only somebody would just... *kill* somebody!!" "BARNEY!!! 😮" "Oh, I don't mean anybody we *know* ..." Priceless. 😆

[@patriciaedwards6793]

This one made me laugh so hard I almost cried!!😂😄😅😂

[@binkleyrules]

Loved this show. Much much older now, I still love it. Andy reminded me of my dad. Clever, gentle & he says what he means. Always w a bit of humor. I still have my dad. At nearly 100 years old, he hasn't changed a bit ❤

Barney:-“Andy, we need a good murder. No not anybody we know, Maybe two strangers come thru town, and one wants to kill the other, they may as well do it here”

Barney had a pair of handcuffs in his left pocket right before Opie walks in. Then suddenly they disappeared. Must have been shot in 2 different scenes. LOVE THIS WHOLESOME SHOW!

What is funny "Opie can't write a poem" since he hasn't learned to write his alphabet.

[@raea3588]

Barney's a good deputy, a nut sometimes, but he's not a very good detective... blaming a 6 year old little boy whose not 4ft and can't even write for composing that poem on the wall of a bank! Lol

They shoulda put the chalk in Leon’s hand

[@yooneeque1]

He could perhaps write individual letters, but I doubt he knew enough to write an entire limerick. There wasn't as much of an academic "push" back then, and many children wouldn't have begun to read and write until at least 6 or 7.

[@solidwoods6999]

That could be a very easy case to solve but a hard case to prosecute because the lead witness could have problems in school which may create more episodes :)

Why did he carry a knife?

In case he used up his bullet.

Heck, carrying a knife was common for men/boys back then; it was a handy tool. If you didn't have your knife you weren't dressed! ;)
