Scripture

Matthew 22:34-40

³⁴Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together.

³⁵One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: ³⁶"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" ³⁷Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' ³⁸This is the first and greatest commandment. ³⁹And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'

⁴⁰All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

Matthew 25:40

⁴⁰"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

Discussion Questions

• What makes your neighborhood special?
• Do you have a favorite neighbor? What types of relationships do you have with the various people living closest to you?
• How has technology—from automatic garage door openers to social media—made it easier or harder to connect with people?
• Have you ever had a person on your block who, like Mrs. Kramer, was hard to love? Talk about ways you might be able to give that real-life relationship another try.
• What did you enjoy most about "Like a Good Neighbor"? Can you remember which characters tried to be good neighbors?
• Have you ever attempted to do something nice for someone living nearby? How did that turn out?
• Has a neighbor ever reached out in kindness to you? If so, how did that make you feel?
• What do you think Jesus meant when He said we should love our neighbors "as ourself"?

Notes

Trivia

• This is the first episode in which Wooton introduces the show during the opening theme.

Allusions

• The title of this episode is possibly a reference to the State Farm Insurance slogan "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there."
• Detective Polehaus says that Red Hollard left his door open as though he lived in Mayberry, a reference to The Andy Griffith Show.
• Detective Polehaus's observation that good neighbors are made by "big locks and tall fences" was first made by poet Robert Frost in his poem "Mending Wall".
• Wally Haggler references "that slug thing on Star Wars" (Jabba the Hutt).

See main article List of Star Wars references

• Wally Haggler refers to fairy tale character Rumpelstilskin.
• Wooton's line "So the cops copped the copper crooks and cracked the caper" is probably a reference to the Jack Webb / Johnny Carson "Copper Clappers" bit.

In-universe

• There are several mentions by characters to The Green Ring Conspiracy.
