The guy playing Richard Deacon knocked it out of the park

This was very well done! The actor playing young Ward nailed it! I'm watching this after hearing about the sad demise of Tony Dow. Most of the cast is gone now...just fond memories remain.

Exactly how I met my Wife. At a place like that where my Sister invited me to come. My Sister was dating my future Wife's Brother. And there she was. I said the same thing at the time; that's the girl I'm going to marry. Now 36 years of a beautiful life together. I'm thankful.

I love Ward whistling the theme song to LEAVE IT TO BEAVER as he walks to June’s door.

I'm completely charmed by this!

That was me. I wanted to be just like Ward. I met my wonderful bride almost the same way. She was stunning. I admired her from across the room and I knew she was the One. We met through the help of a friend and I began to get her use to having me around. I popped the question and she said YES immediately. We had to wait 2 years, but then we were married. I wanted what Ward had. A wife, a house and a couple of kids. A job where I could support them and come home to them every night. We had two children, a boy and a girl. This October, we will celebrate 40 years of blissful marriage. I'm not exactly Ward Cleaver, but I got no complaints.

That was too cool. They actually favored the shows actors. She forgot to tell him that she could speak Jive.

People, it is a television show! It’s not real! It doesn’t matter if the story line had them meeting in high school, at State college, or at the USO. It was a delightful family show and I’m grateful for the memories.

No swearing,violence,sex, my how things have degraded

Just a lovely escape and well done. I was Beaver's age so it was especially sweet to wstch. My parents met on a blind date circa 1941. My dad even looked a bit like Ward.❤

A sweet imagining of how the future Mrs. Cleaver met Ward. TFS

With a stigmatism, the actor looks almost exactly like a young Hugh Beaumont/Ward Cleaver. Great casting!

Tony Dow had a great life he was fantastic

I had goose bumps the whole time I watched this n smiled when they smiled and talked. This was wonderful to see !!!💕💙💞❤️💓💕💙💞❤️💓

I just want to cry! Oh the beauty of true love.

The show was a staple in my house growing up I grow up with the Beaverand Wally I’m 72 years old and this clip is so awesome I never saw it before

This is so sweet. I still enjoy their closeness in the series. It was fun being part of their family every week.

So very sweet. "Thanks for the memories".❤❤❤❤

They did a good job of capturing the flavor of the 40s.

Yep, this is how they met. Loved it! 🙂❤️

That was so sweet. Beautiful. I never saw any of the shows if “The New Leave It To Beaver.” The original show will always be special to me because I watched the reruns every morning when I was recovering from surgery as a child. ❤️

I loved this,so sweet & loving. Kind of the way one would hope it was how it all began. Thank you.✌️♥️

Great remembering! Only one thing Ward did wrong on the next night. A gentleman ALWAYS walks on the outside, next to the street. That way no water can splash on his date! I know, I'm telling my age!

Awww.. Thank you so much for sharing this clip, Scott!

I watched this show all the time and still do. The show always had a good lesson that Ward taught. Thank you for this. Love from Canada 🇨🇦❤

Awww…ward whistled their theme song! So sweet!

A Beautiful love story! Mr.and Mrs. Cleaver.

double nostalgia going on with this! It was charming. never watched the new show. Watching the old series the second time around as an adult.... the issue I laughed at the most was Wally and Beaver always new that they were cruising for a bruising from Dad. How many times did I hear Dad's gonna kill us! line. Ward Never even threatened a spanking and I don't recall him raising his voice. ..... Hind sight... Hugh Beaumount being a minister (for real) surely carried over to the show. his demeanor showed through beautifully. (the term escapes me now (when using a prop) anyway The simplest thing I saw Barbara B. do (and often) when she picked up the phone ... was listened for the dialtone first and then dial. yep those were the days!🙂

Beautiful. Heart-warming. Very well done. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this. I look at Leave It to Beaver every morning. I remember watching it when I was a child and I liked it then and I like it now.

Well done! I love seeing the back story of June and Ward.

This was beautiful. Thanks.

How Charming , I Loved it ......... Great Job

How romantic. Just love the old black and white films.

Beautiful, and Thank You!

I did not realize, that the tune for leave it to beaver, was a real song, until I saw Wally sing it to his baby, on a clip of the New leave it to beaver.

Still watch the show never gets old

How sweet

Knowing Ward, he would have, and certainly should have, walked closest to the street on the other side of June. Proper gentlemen were generally taught this by their fathers. Real gentlemen, that is. And all of us here know Ward was the very model of a proper gentleman, just as June was a lady. R.I.P. Tony Dow and the LITB cast who have passed.

Charming and wholesome. Never saw this.

A beautiful 4 1/2 minutes! I Love it!❤

I will always love them n keep them in my heart always !!! Thank you for sharing this very sweet video. I adore them so much and watch the show every morning.

Fred Rutherford is perfect

Ward and June ❤️

Did anyone notice he was whistling Toy Parade, which was the shows theme.

In the episode, it was their anniversary. June did look at the picture, but didn't have the memory flashback, until she and Kelly walked past the building that had once hosted the USO dance. June looked into the window, and the flashback was there.

The actors did a really good job portraying their characters. Particularly Ward and Fred Rutherford. I could really see a "younger Ward" in the way the actor played him. It was a little harder to see in the actress who portrayed June, though.

That explains how long he's known Fred

Perfect!!!

So sweet and well casted.

Watching this made me smile the whole way through! A lovely memory. This program was part of my life growing up. I had periods of peace in my home but generally speaking it was like riding a roller coaster- I hate roller coasters. Escapism provided moments of peace I am grateful for to this day.

I saw "Leave it to Beaver" from its start in 1957 & loved it! However, we didn't get cable t.v. until 1989, a few weeks before the "New Leave it to Beaver" was cancelled & only saw one episode, to this day! After looking at this ingenious episode, I want to see more of this wonderful, sequel series! p.s. The guy who played Fred Rutherford was "dead bang" perfect!

That Ward sure had the moves!!!

NOW THAT IS THE WAY A MAN NEEDS TO ACT TOWARDS A WOMAN HE ADMIRES!

Thanks for sharing Scott!!

Awe, this is perfectly sweet

Leave it to beaver and this is my favorite show in the world. So wholesome. Thank you for these uploads

I remember when I first saw this episode. I was a Freshman in college back in Spring 1988. This is the best episode in the whole Leave it to Beaver series both old and new.

Oh so Ward coached Eddie on politeness. Now I get why June digs Eddie. May they all RIP

AWESOME 👏

Beautiful

No way Ward Cleaver could have that kind of game! He was way too straight laced and practical. However this was a charming romantic scene. Reminded me of the innocent courtship between George and Mary Bailey before they were wed in the movie "It's a Wonderful Life."

Love, love, love this!

It’s nice they made a prequel

Ward was a real operator

The guy playing Fred Rutherford was good also.

Reminds me a bit of how I met my wife. It was on a blind date while I was in the Navy. Like Ward, it was very much love at first sight. After 47 years, I still fall in love each day. Like The Beaver, I have a big brother too.

That was Awesome

That was the best and most interesting scene of the series.

Been looking for this one

I’m from St. Louis, during my working years I met a lot of older couples. It was surprising how many couples did meet at the USO or the local ballroom dancing places.

Thank you Scott Hettrick for showing these videos. Thank you for your efforts. I

They certainly picked the right couple to play the role of the Cleaver's. I wonder from what movie this was from? In some of the episodes of "Leave it to Beaver" Ward had mentioned he'd served in the Navy. They look soo good together they look like the ideal couple. This should've been part of "Love American Style" from that TV Series of the Lt 60's to early 70's. At least the episode where they met. He was a handsome young man and she was a beautiful young lady. The chemistry certainly was there!!!

Perfectly sweet …

Ward slayed the local trim.

Pitter Patters, smiles, just love Happy people and the time of grace and gentlemanly ways! 😉

What a sweet loving human moment. Something sorely missing from entertainment today. Why?

One of my favorite episodes. ❤

This is pretty cool.

Aaaaw…my ❤️ I most definitely need to watch this special movie reuniting the cast for sure!! I don’t care that the tune he was whistling could be viewed as being cheesy and/or cliché. But, I loved that it was the theme song from “Leave it to Beaver” 🤗

How wonderfully sweet !!

That was nice.

Bravo ✊🏽

Awww so sweet :)

This is such a cute clip. I loved to see backstories of my favorite on screen couples from TV. I can see both of the characters being that way when they met. She's smiley and a positive personality. Ward is a stand-up guy even then. I think June danced with him because he wasn't leering at her. So she says yes, thinking at the very least she sold a war bond. But there was potential for something more. We all know what happened.

Very romantic! What ever happened to romance?

🎼 Gee it's Great after being out late Walking my Baby back Home 🎼

I've just stumbled into this after searching fir Judy Hensler and finding that wonderful clip you posted of her as an adult with kids, being as delightfully snarky as ever to her nemesis, "Beaver" Cleaver, who for some reason, she still hates as much as she did when they were in Miss Landers' class. Consider this my comment for that video since you have them turned off there. Also, what a cool flashback sequence this is, fanciful though it may be. It's so much FUN!! The little touches are perfect too, like the Glen Miller take on the LITB themesong, and how he's gleefully whistling it as he walks to June's door! I vaguely remember one or two of these scenes from my original viewing of TNLITB, but they stand really well on their own. Great stuff!!

Sweet.

Love it! First time knew. Thank you. Always felt born about 20+ too late, although still appreciate, adapt.

For people complaining about consistency, I think LITB was pretty good at being consistent. There was one episode, "The Teacher's Daughter" where Wally and Eddie are double dating. Eddie comments that he doesn't really like the girl he's taking out that much, but that her father is really big in the construction business and that could help him when he's starting a career. In the New Leave It To Beaver show, Eddie has his own construction company. I have no idea if this was done on purpose, but I found it interesting.

So sweet 💕

Swoon……… 🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰❤️

Odd-I just finished watching one of the original episodes where they told the boys they met "at State".

Was a great fantasy and tribute prequel....

This Ward seemed overly aggressive compared to the original but still a fun flashback.

Young Ward Cleaver sounds just like Dan Duryea.

"where are you from anyway?" My mom.

Grew up watching this show.....loved it then, love it now.......the sweet innocense of America in those days.....can we get America back the way it used to be?

A great memory in the making!
