Watch carefully. There are many times he says no and the kids just listen - often outright. But many times he gets his way with a distraction - the “game” the episode is named after.
It’s also somewhat told from Bandit’s perspective (understandable given the author).
The episode “Burger Shop” is a good example of him not getting his way at the same time he does, even though he ends up admitting his experiment was a failure.
Oh, I didn't mean to imply he never says no and I like his elaborate educational games, they are truly inspiring. Just that quite often I get the feeling, I would just say no and that's it. I love playing with my kids, but not always. And I also don't like to fight with them sonthey accept it, but bandit often seems to avoid the fight by saying yes.
