frank bank, ken Osmond, jerry mathers and tony dow deserve payment for anytime leave it to beaver is shown, not just writers and producers. without the actors, no show. support these fine actors

R.I.P. Frank. You were great in the role of Lumpy. Moreover, you did very well after "Leave It To Beaver".

Frank and Ken sound like wonderful people, as do many of the alumni from LITB. Glad to see that Frank, Ken, Jerry, and Tony all stayed close to Barbara over the years.

RIP Lumpy (MR Bank) You will be missed. Thank you for the great entertainment you gave us while growing up.

Frank Bank passed on April 13, 2013. 1 day after his 71st birthday. R.I.P

Leave It to Beaver was one of my favorite shows and I still watch the reruns to this day

That was prophetic!!! Ken wasn't far off in 2009 with the flat screen internet monitor within 10 years. Our smart TVs do that now. To me this was one of the best shows ever and they couldn't even give them a decent residual for it. I believe Dawn Wells negotiated her own residual contract, so now she gets paid for every Gilligan's Island episode being aired now. Rest in peace, Frank Bank. I'd love to meet the cast of Leave It To Beaver and just tell them thank you for helping to make the best show ever. I know their situations were dated in this show, but the context is never outdated if done properly. There were just good life lessons in the show and that is missing from a lot of things now. If any of you reading this have never seen the show, open your mind and look what is being conveyed. And while that's going on, I hope that the actors get paid for it. Take care and thanks for posting.

These two fine gentleman saw the writing on the wall. R.I.P. Frank & Ken you both helped make Leave it to Beaver what it was.

That is so incredibly sad that these actors are represented and treated so unfairly. I enjoyed watching this show everyday.

RIP Frank Bank

It is such a shame each one of the actors in "Leave it to Beaver" should be millionaires many times over. The show is still on re runs, on internet, and box set; all of which NONE of the actors are paid anything... CRIMINAL . It is too bad fans all over the world cannot sign a petition to get this to court, so they could get paid their DUE payments from internet, box set sales, and yes TV... Rest in peace, Mr. Bank. Hang in there Mr. Ken Osmond; and thank you for your service to the people as a police man for many years! And of course, than you for the wonderful memories of "Leave it to Beaver". MCM - Michael Clinton Martin

Without these actors , the producers would have nothing. The profits should be shared with these fine actors . All they are asking for is a fair share

Someone commented they shouldn't get residuals. The problem is that many of the Beaver stars ended up getting typecast and could no longer make it as an actor. They really should get a piece of the pie.

Rest in Peace,Lumpy.

My siblings and I watched this show religiously in our home. I still enjoy watching the reruns! The cast of Leave it to Beaver deserves what they are demanding ....they worked very hard for it....they were excellent role models for all the young children and teens who were growing up in those years. They taught us important principles that every child should learn when he's growing up, such as how to respect our parents and our elders, to stay in school, learn important morals and values, to be honest, trustworthy, to learn by our mistakes, etc. Today we need more shows like these that will help teach our children to learn these principles and more. Children and teens need guidance from parents who have good parenting techniques and who are able to nurture and instill the right values in their children. They also need good role models such as older siblings, teachers and community leaders that will also help them succeed in life by becoming responsible human beings and good citizens. I support you, Ken, 100% . Rest in peace "Lumpy". Thanks to all of you for the good memories.

What a shame! Just now seeing this. . . they should be compensated for what they brought to that wonderful and iconic show that still brings so much joy to so many, generations!

Man.....R.I.P. to both of these guys. Sad to know that they received no royalties and the show is still airing all over the world while generating lots of money. Show business is some DIRTY stuff. Makes me not even want to watch one of my favorite shows of all times anymore. Smh.....

Classic cast of Leave It To Beaver, RIP Lumpy!!!

How prophetic of Ken to say 10-15 years from now most people won’t have a tv in the house just an internet monitor. He had no way to know (who did?) that monitor would be your phone.

These actors gave us a show; that we just cherish. It's really sad, they're gone now. I hope their family, win on what these actors tried to accomplish.

RIP Ken Osmond

Frank Bank was a smart and eloquent man. He wrote a great biography called "Call me Lumpy." And Ken Osmond was prophetic to the future in this for sure.

I agree I think they deserve some kind of royalties that was my favorite show and always will be they did the work pay them.....

Thank you, Lump.

RIP Lump!

Frank Bank aka Lumpy was no "BIG BOOB" at all. Smartest of the whole cast. Rest in Heaven Frank Bank and Ken Osmond.

Boy, Mr. Osmond was right about the whole internet replacing TV idea... and he said that 7 years ago. In 3 to 8 years TV and internet likely will be the same thing. Smart TV's are popular now, but in 8 years they'll be the norm just as smart phones have become the norm today.

Frank Bank(now deceased) and Ken Osmond made a VERY strong and VERY legitimate point. I hope sincerely that they(Frank and Ken) won their case against Screen Actors' Guild. In my estimation they, and all other actors(male, female, adults and children alike) are owed MILLIONS. But this is also symptomatic of MCA itself. MCA is the greediest, most ruthless organisation there ever was, Look at the recorded music division, Universal won't be happy until they've gobbled up all their rival recording organisations and own the LOT! Where are America's anti-trust laws? Aren't they supposed to prevent monopolies? Obviously those laws are weak and the authorities charged with administering them are gutless cowards. No wonder Frank Bank and Ken Osmond had to take the stand that they've done here.

RESPECT YOUR ELDERS!!! PAY THESE ICONS WHO PAVED THE WAY!!!!!

Well Ken Osmond is now gone, RIP Eddie.

"R. I. P. MR. BANK", thank you Mr. OSMOND for the wonderful, unforgettable memories waiting for me @ home after "a hard day @ school "w/my t.v. break: you incredible professionals on Leave it to Beaver"; you will always be Truly In My Heart Forever!♡

Do the actors give money to the investors who put up money and then lose it? Does a carpenter you paid to build an apartment building get part of the rent when you rent it?

6:05--Best pay heed to what he's saying.

As children we are taught to respect an cherish our elders. That is a difficult philosophy to follow when the elders we are told to respect are vicious and greedy.

These actors were utterly exploited, especially the younger ones, in those days.

This is a really good man.Really decent and just plain GOOD.

You may think that actors get paid when they make a show and it is too bad that they didn't think about residuals when they sign those contracts. Well, these guys were kids. And there, at the time, there was no way that anyone could have anticipated that their image and their work would be used for over 40 years with no additional pay. It is wrong. Contract or no contract, the studio should do the right thing and pay all involved a fair share.

These two gentlemen shared a lot of wisdom. They paid their dues. Much respect.

I pray that Tony Dow gets better now that he has pneumonia and I also pray for all of us that have health problems

Wonderful video! So good to see you both healthy and well. I hope SAG members listen!

They deserve to still be receiving money . Those guys made the show too. It took ALL of them to make the show success.

Jerry Mathers is the only one that got a good deal. He said in an interview that he got a good residual that would be a decent income for life.

R.I.P Lumpy ( frank Bank ) & Eddie ( ken Osmond) thanks for all the good shows you gave us. I totally agree with you both. Most people today has flat screens & we r being spied on & alexia is spying too.

Just remember everyone the cast of FRIENDS gets roughly $20 million per year in residuals and Leave It To Beaver is 10x times that show. Both of these men should have retired millionaires several times over. Instead it went to whoever owns the rights to distribute it around the world.

Then again.... Actors being paid multiple MILLIONS of dollars for several weeks work is ..INSANE beyond.

Frank was a very intelligent man and a great actor on Beaver.

I just now viewed this video. I hope the SAG and its members listened to what Frank and Ken had to say. Leave It To Beaver was on the air just a short while before I was born. I have enjoyed that show since childhood and even now, I dearly enjoy watching it. These veteran actors deserve something for the countless hours or great entertainment they have brought into our homes for decades. I don't know how this vote went, but I hope all has gone well for Frank, Ken, Jerry, Tony.

I would hate to think it was Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher's fault but was it their fault?

If a person doesn't look after him or herself, you have troubles. No need to get mean, but watch out for yourselves. These two are absolutely correct!

Ken Osmond was spot on with his prophecy about no tv’s, large screen monitors with every thing over the internet. Today we have Smart TV’s which access the internet to watch anything and everything you can imagine!

Ken was pretty spot on about the net...we're almost there

Lumpy...Frank Bank was the best!!!!!

I wonder how all of this played out? The entire Leave It To Beaver series is at archive dot org now - all perfectly legal, it's a legit site. So I have to assume the show is in the public domain now. That's good - if the actors didn't get paid for the reruns, NOBODY should.

Producers simply need to ask themselves, "What would Ward Cleaver do?"

00:17 He got that wrong. Other series such as "I Love Lucy" have been running longer.

R.I.P. Mr. Bank.

Love u guys. Still check out Leave it to Beaver.. you guys are so great

The 4 main characters deserved 80% residuals the rest should split 20%

Much respect to these two guys, & especially Ken (gone way too soon) for his time @ LAPD.

Rest in love Lumpy

R.I.P Lumpy

Really impressive speech by Mr Banks.

I think they got a 7 year window after 1963 for residuals according to Mathers and Dow in an interview 2 years ago. Both admitted it was modest money was better than nothing at all. Then this limited term residual ended forever. Most shows in black and white did not get any residuals so someone is making money to this day other than the actors. Eventually this issue will end with the actors dying, and SAG admin know this. Really a bad deal for a show as popular as this and very unfair. RIP both of you for putting up a fight for what is right.

I couldn't have said it better WarriorSpirit,these guys deserve better for bringing such joy into our childhoods.Do we have any updates.

It's a wonder these actors pass so early....... So, much greed, and they feel no shame! Just remember these attorneys will promise you a chunk of change, but will come after you when the tables are turrned........

God bless these two. Figures the big noses in Challahwood would try to deny the workers their rightful pay.

I pray both of these talents rest in peace. They were right. These greedy entertainment bosses, producers and all those raking in big money for the work these actors did. Shameful.

So, how did this turn out?

RIp Frank Bank,Ken Osmond,& Tony Dow.You have been a big part if my life.

Absolutely 💯. Thank you for your honesty. With you 100%

Frank and ken were. Really funny on leave it to beaver respect your elders is the most important thing in life cause my grandmothers had told me growing up and I stuck with that glad you said that Frank thank

RIP to both

Wow. This explains a lot of what's been going on. Ken Osmond was prophetic. We all have flat screen computer monitors along with the internet.

RIP to a fine caring person.

Let us fast forward now, its nearly June of 2012. Please bring me up to speed. What happened? I remember these guys very fondly. I watched Beaver religiously when it originally aired.

rip LUMPY

Frank Bank was far from the empty headed Lumpy Rutherford.He was in in a pilot for series based on Archie after Beaver was cancelled.The sponsor was derisively insuting about Lumpy and declined the show.I hope that pilot still exists,I'd like to see it.

I got a subscription to Peacock and watch the show LITB everyday then I also watch it on MeTv I truly love this show and Frank I loved you as Lumpy and Ken as Eddie you guys were great ! Still .

Nice last words Lumpy, I salute you brother 😎👍

Rip lumpy

Much respect Mr. Bank

Ken Osmond makes a scary prediction about the future of T.V. sets

RIP Ken and Frank

My favorite show of all time, but you guys should have worked that out in the beginning, just like a lot of other folks in your shoes didn't do.

The SAG is giving Lumpy and Eddie the business.

Hire a lawyer take them to court fight for your money you deserve it

Love you two

Watching leave it to beaver now. Wonderful show and the actors got the shaft.

bravo! adelante!

Littlle problem being a kid and legal contracts. Under 18 didnt think contracts binding. Why would they give a bone. But i guess may not know whats going on.

So many of the old time actors got rooked.

RIP

I loved that show so did my dad!❤️

RIP Frank & Ken

While I totally sympathize with both Frank Bank & Ken Osmond and are both entitled to their rightful percentage of residuals from Leave It To Beaver,it's not as if they've both been starving on Skid Row ever since it got cancelled.Even from personal appearances and the odd acting gig,they're still doing better than your Average Joe.

What lousy royalties you have there mrs cleaver.....thank you eddie

Anyone know if they ever got what they wanted?

Actors are like ball players: hired hands. The owners and producers with the capital take the risk and make it happen.

come on eddie don't let lumpy pick on you like that ha ha.

Welp ken rip but we still have tv 10 years later
