Sitcom Kids We'd Love to Babysit

Opie Taylor, The Andy Griffith Show

Sheriff Andy Taylor and Aunt Bee must have been doing something right. From the time he was a freckled-faced boy in black-and-white to his full-color adolescent years, Opie proved time and time again that he had a heart of gold.

Sure, he had a slingshot, but he felt rotten after accidentally killing that mama bird. We'd much rather look after Opie for an afternoon than get stuck wrangling Barney Fife.
