The writers really nailed Jame's dialog. That is 100% how that would have gone down in the day.

[KK]

You will never see a disciplinary scene this good on t.v., ever again. And the producers killed off the best character on that show.

[kidlightning]

The ole belt to the a** is the greatest equalizer!

[monogee]

RIP, JOHN AMOS!!! You were a reflection of how I was raised by my Father!!!

[Unpopularopinion]

James is the father we need in households today!

[treseancann]

0:30 That day, he learned, "Be careful what you wish for."

RIP to the memory of Mr. Robert Douglas Grant Jr aka Eddie and now Mr. John forever famous Amos.

Had to come here after hearing about the passing of John Amos. He will be forever missed. RIP James Evans Sr. 🙏🏾😢

Growing up with strong discipline made kids of the 70s of who they were back then now they're parents today with kids of their own

[joegover]

RIP John Amos may your belt be forever strong.

[ethane-dawgwenger]

Back at a time before this was considered child abuse. John Amos really nailed this role.

[denzelreid]

The expression on James Evens face at 0:22 is priceless 😂😂😂!

[SamuelGriffin-ztze]

Beyond Scared Straight with John Amos will put every teenager down on that show

[stevencohen]

I loved when Eddie tried to escape, but James pulled him back in. 🤣

[unstepintime]

The way he pulls him back in. Too funny.

[rooseveltdavis]

Now that’s the kind of father I wished I had, as a child. My ol’ father, he didn’t even cared about my education.

[rodneybenbow]

Rest In Peace John Amos! Sad to hear of his passing.

[stefanmoultrie]

I'm a make a believer outta you 😂😂

[TRUTHSPEAKS]

Rest in love and power John Amos. Still seems surreal. Another good one going on.

We all had our tails whooped growing up
