They don't seem to have been traumatized by it in any way. :) They've seen many episode now that they're 9 and 10. It's also the only complete episode my wife has ever watched as she competes in triathalons of shorter distance so I convinced her to take a look.. She was annoyed by Marcia Wallace. It might have traumtized her because she's never watched another one!
lol.....just watched that one last night. She was annoying.

I can confirm that both Beauty Knows No Pain and The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii are great innocent fun for little guys.

Having a great time re-watching these episodes that I sometimes brush off as too corny.

I just watched Operation: Silent Night and Jororo Farewell with the lad yesterday.

Silent Night was a big hit (Rick in quicksand, Higgins building the boat out of the plane fuselage, etc.), but he found Jororo surprisingly dull. I thought maybe the kids in that episode would be engaging, but I guess even four-year-olds are turned off by wooden acting and a bad script!

How about 'thank heaven for little girls.."

From memory, I can't recall violence or any other stuff, or did they use some vietnam flashbacks?
