I watched Mr McBeeve over and over since the 1960's. The Andy Griffith Show is one of my 5 all-time favorite TV shows. Ron Howard has got to be one of the best child actors of all time. With all that said, in this episode, why would any adult give a child a sharp hachet to run around with? Were people that different in the 1960's? Noone thought that was a strange gift(to show on TV) to place into the hands of a child who has to run home with it. It looked mighty sharp and dangerous, especially way Opie held it up in his livingroom and then in the woods, when he had to return it. Yes, it was TV, it was rubber, but it still was strange to watch, as it was portrayed as a real hatchet in the storyline.
