I don't know why, but Opie the Birdman was not an episode that I really love, I don't know why, but I just don't see what makes the episode sad or a great episode. Can somebody help me understand…Continue

Keevy Hazelton replied to John Lane's discussion Valentines Day"Barney telling Andy all the things he'd like to tell Thelma Lou if he wasn't so shy, is very romantic."
Janice Carter replied to John Lane's discussion Valentines Day"I think the "Opie Loves Helen" episode is quite romantic. We see Opie buying a gift (stockings!) for his new crush; Andy teases Barney by asking him when he's going to marry Thelma Lou; Barney flirts on the telephone; and Barney…"

Keevy Hazelton replied to John Lane's discussion Opie the birdman"I was reading an interview with episode writer, Harvey Bullock, and he said those last 2 lines wrote themselves. As he sat and watched, the words appeared on the paper, and he said he was not even conscience of himself writing them.

Patrick Aei replied to John Lane's discussion Opie the birdman"It is kind of cheesy at certain points, but it's one of the most memorable episodes. I'd put it in the top five in terms of nostalgia."
"To tell you the truth, I can't watch this episode very often although I think it's one of the best. It is so heartbreaking to me.
I think the element that makes it so gut-wrenching is that Opie commits a thoughtless deed that has…"
"Maybe if we had more shows of this character on TV today we wouldn't have all the violence going on around us!"
Janice Carter replied to John Lane's discussion Opie the birdman"For me, it's about depth of character. We see Andy, a lawman and hunter, showing genuine compassion toward little baby birds. And he sees to it that his son learns compassion by making him listen to the birds calling a mother who…"
"Not one of my favorites either, although I love Barney's explanation of how birds communicate with each other.
"
Tori McCool replied to John Lane's discussion Opie the birdman"I think that it is one of those "transition episodes." We see Opie growing up and maturing. It's really a turning point in the series for him. I think that it carries even more sentimentality if watched in sequence."

Mother's doing better, John. She's resting now. I was just about to go down to the barbershop for a bit when she got one of her migraines so I put off the barbershop to tend to her. Maybe I'll stop by later. Oh, there she is calling me. I'll talk to you later.

Allan "Floyd" Newsome said… That's not actually a problem. Some folks, myself included, don't always have time to "chat" so they don't go to the chat room. Only folks that have time to chat actually will. They aren't being rude...they just aren't into chit-chat. :)
