The Andy Griffith Show: Opie's Girlfriend (1966)
Episode 1, Season 7
No life lesson here

I've always appreciated "The Andy Griffith Show" because beneath it's small town, simple folk exterior are some great truths and life lessons. However the episode "Opie's Girlfriend" was out of date and out of touch as soon as it aired. I have a teenage daughter who has a black belt in Taekwondo. I would never tell her to hold back when sparring guys to avoid hurting their male egos. I was honestly surprised when the episode landed on this idea. I thought for sure they would take the route of "there's nothing wrong with a girl being better at some things than a boy". I certainly hope no females watching this episode through the years ever took it's conclusion seriously.
