One thing about TAGS is that even when Andy had to discipline Opie, it was done in order to make Opie a better person. When a loving parent spanks a child, I believe it is appropriate discipline. There's a difference between getting a spanking designed to get you back on the straight and narrow, and a beating from an angry or embarrassed parent taking their frustration out on a kid. Andy wouldn't do that and he wasn't advising the other boy's father to do so. The boy was disrespectful toward law enforcement and if his behavior had been allowed to stand, he might have turned out like the young man played by Bill Bixby. Then it would have taken much worse and more serious discipline to get him straightened out, such as a stint in jail. Kim - Wylie, TX
