Dirtiest line ever on LiTB ... "Ward, weren't you a little rough on the Beaver last night ?"

OMG yes! I didn't know it was her at first. I just thought is was some ex8who looked a lot like her. I never saw Barbara Billingsley act that way. Hilarious!

I hear that is why she got the part; she was fluent in Jive. She was asked if she could speak Jive. She answered, "Sheee-ot, 't-ain't no thing but a chick'n wing, Bro!"

I never heard this. Do you know where I could find it? Thx ❤

❤"chump don want no help, chump don get no help....jive a$$ed....."

@@sherri4468 Sorry, I was just joking. She never said that.

It was a good ensemble with some funny lines delivered perfectly not for a laugh which made them funny.

Hugh Beaumont (Ward Cleaver) was the uncle of a high-school friend in the late 60s, early 70s. She recounted stories of dropping acid with him.

BS. Just another KNII @@lisabluecurls

Many cartoons were too.

Having recently streamed LITB in chronological order, I realized that during the first couple of seasons, there was some wonderful banter written for and performed by Billingsley and Beaumont that somewhat diminished as the kids started getting longer lines of dialogue. The writers had them brilliantly trading good-natured barbs, and they always evened out by the end of the episode so that neither one seemed to have gotten the best of the other. The show was really so much better than it gets credit for.

Me too

Me to. @ 66, Leave it to Beaver, Andy Griffith, The Beverly Hillbillies. I could go on on about tv in those times.

@@MrMultitool Same here right after Perry Mason. I'm old too. My favorite recently have been Emergency, Adam 12, Hazel, Alfred Hitchcock, Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits. The old shows are still the best. I can't stand at least 80% of anything moderno especially (cringe 😤) reality shows.

Exactly!!

That was my situation when "Leave It To Beaver" was on. Although things hadn't gotten as crazy as they would get, at that point. Later on, after I'd moved away from home (and while it's a different show), I began watching "The Brady Bunch." I had never seen the show in it's original seasons, and one day I decided to watch the show, and got hooked on it. The kindness and love that Bob and Carol Brady had towards their children was very comforting to me. I needed it in the aftermath of the craziness I'd gone through at home. I watched it everyday, and it helped me out. I'd read where the show's producer, Sherwood Schwartz, received letters from small children (who believed it was a real family), who wanted to join the Bradys and become part of the family. But he would write them back and gently tell them that this was not a real family, but a pretend family. Of course, by the time I began watching it, I knew it wasn't a real family. But the gentleness and love in the storylines was helpful anyway. I hope people won't mind that I spent so much time writing about 'The Brady Bunch" on a thread which is dedicated to "Leave It To Beaver." I loved that show. It was nice watching some of the original seasons before things got as crazy as they would become at home. It helped, referring back to it, in later years. I LOVED Ward and June.And, of course, "The Brady Bunch" helped immensely too.

I relate

Even the Addams family was less dysfunctional than my own family 🤣

I hear you. "The Donna Reed Show" was my escape.

Ahhhhhh.. Choo, uh, yes they were great. We got TV when I was nine and got one station. Sometimes another if one of us would spend a half hour or more outside, using a wrench to turn the antenna while yelling at each to see if anything was on yet. At least we didn’t have to climb on the roof to do that.

Yeah, Beaver was absolutely adorable, sweet and wholesome !! Everybody I know loved this t.v. show including me and my family.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

Romper Room.

Always a dress. Dont think my mother wore pants until 2970.

Don't forget about June's ever-present pearl necklace.

Well, accept for the “Negro”. We need to quit ignoring reality, & in my home in the 50’s wasn’t so kinder.

My mother, too!😅

I believe she had a scar that is why she wore the necklace​@@vickyabramowitz2885

My niece married an Eddie. I recognized him for who he was as soon as I met him.

I thought Beaver talked like he had a serious learning disability. That was a problem as he got older. If they wanted him to sound realistic at all, his delivery had to improve.

You're are so fortunate

How about Miss Canfield? She too was quite pretty.

Thank you for that. I was born in 1957, the year the show premiered.

@@MarinCipollinasame!! Been binging Beaver this last week..!!!

Same as well. Moms always wore ankle dresses. And we're high classed

WTF are you talking about. The message of this show is: Grown-ups don't know wtf they're doing but we're stuck doing what they say. We're fucked and there's nothing we can do about it.

My grandmother wasn’t allowed to go to the school a mile from her home cause she wasn’t white but I’m happy you love the nostalgic beautiful memories

That error was probably intentional.

Yeah, Eddie was a real schit and had a screwed up family. There's an episode where he tries to move out and get his own place. Mr cleaver has to explain to Wally and even counsel Eddie some. Pretty bleak outlook for Eddie.

Eddie became a police officer, in real life ! Fact....

The ongoing narrative about Eddie Haskell was that he always thought he had one over on everybody else, and believed no one was wise to him. But in reality, everyone was wise to him. He just didn't know it. There was one episode where it was just him and Beaver by themselves, and he wasn't trying to intimidate Beaver like he usually did (calling him "squirt", etc.), where he actually admitted he was something of a phony. But I don't recall which episode it was.

Agree

Me too.😊

Me too ❤

Gee, I wish I had a girlfriend… 🙂

Me too!

I remember him saying something like; "My Dad says 'no joke is offensive if it's funny enough'!"

@@barneybrown2092 Jimmy Carr would agree.

Eddie was an American classic.

Same with my mom and dad. dressed just like that. My mother, bless her soul, doing the vacuuming and dishes at home looked 10X better than people going out for dinner now. ....if they can still afford to now.

Coworker / co-worker, bully / victim, girls / boys, etc. who could want more?

Ditto, retired now I wake up to 2 episodes of Beaver on ME TV. Just makes my day!

Me too!

Don't forget "Uncle Billy"!

Those were the days when you could order a baby alligator through the mail.

And Larry Mondelo's mother was endearing.

​@rainbowranddy I think so too. She is at the end of a movie called "All Mine To Give". So sweet. She has always reminded me of a person who was BORN to be a Grandmother.

She almost had the role of Aunt Bea, on the Andy Griffeth show, but she had other commitments that wouldn't fit with the show's scheduling.

@@rainbowranddy Interesting. Didn't know that. That would have been better - in my humble opinion.

Yes, I agree. This channel is one of the slew of newer ones that use AI-generated scripts and a synthetic voice. You can tell because the same information is repeated over and over in slightly different ways, with too many adjectives and adverbs thrown in for no useful narrative purpose. The narrative is designed to make as long a video as possible by never getting to a satisfying end. The bloopers are, like, meh.

@@Classical741 I take it the title is clickbait also, as it probably never actually gets to 'This Scene...'? Less than halfway in and I'm going to stop, as I feel I'm just being strung along.

@@Classical741 You can definitely tell at 1:22 when the computer says "...airing two thirty four episodes..." instead of "...airing two-hundred and thirty-four episodes...". And yeah, the "bloopers" are lame.

Thank you!!!! That deadpan voice was killin me....great show....but with this emotionless monolog droning on and on this way I couldnt last 6 minutes....torturous 😮😮😮😮

I agree with that 💯

The same thing crossed my mind.

@@proudcynophile1901 I think "All in the Family" also had the first full shot of a toilet - but I am not sure. Which TV show actually showed a character on the toilet, but from the chest up only? I think is was "Three's Company", but again I am not sure. I know "The Brady Bunch" NEVER showed a toilet... EVER - That was the running joke: The Brady's don't poop or pee! [laugh].

I remember watching "My Three Sons" and seeing a scene where someone opened the bathroom door, thought they saw somebody sitting on the toilet, and closed the door. Actually, it was a large doll, inanimate, leaning forward, it's head down to it's knees, that someone left in the bathroom. That was the joke. Someone didn't know what to do with this human-sized figure, and left it sitting on the commode. Someone later opened the door, thought they'd entered the bathroom inappropriately when someone was using it, and closed the door. I don't remember what episode it was, the story behind it, etc. But I'm quite sure it was "My Three Sons.' Maybe someone here can recall it? If so, thanks!

@@chrisfreeman9960 If that is true maybe it was the first toilet shot. But for some reason a hated "My Three Sons". I think it was that theame song, that graphic of three boys feet, one with an obnoxiously crossed leg, Uncle Charlie, and goofy Ernie.

@@paulromsky9527/ i agree with ChrisFreeman. I hated that foot graphic, and I thought Uncle Charlie was a cranky old s.o.b. that brought everybody down.

I loved all of Wally's teenage expressions. That was made the show for me.

There used to be a Broadcasters' Code. It was announced on television during the breaks in programming. I don't know what happened to that.

There are no morals or scrupples in todays entertainment. Sad thats what most people prefer for entertainment today, effecting the minds of our youth.

I read that too BUT she has said in Camera that the natural pocket on the front of her throat was what she preferred to hide +-

Cool...I was born in 1956...Feb.

I even had an Eddie Haskel

Me too...I was born in 1956 and remember doing that. Later, Dark Shadows was on when we got home.

years later, Tony Dow was on the teen soap opera, NEVER TOO YOUNG :)

Technically we (US) were sending military equipment to support Vietnam in 1950..US advisors also go in.. 1961: Green Berets go in... 1964: 21,000 US troops were in Vietnam.. 1969: 550,000 US troops were in Vietnam.. and on and on for a decade..four presidents: Truman,JFK, LBJ,and Nixon

Can't stand the Beatles

Viet Nam started long before 1963 and JFK died in November 1963. U must be young.

I was in the Philippines at this time. My dad was military and we were stationed at Clark AFB. Yes, the Beatles were big back then.

I remember the Reruns being aired in the 1970s I thought it was corny but now I really appreciate Wards' approach to parenting

Why is 57 saying something' what does that mean?

@@BryanClark-gk6ie I was thinking that, too..........?

Yup click bait

Agreed!

Thanks. I'm partway through and bugging out now

I didn't watch.

I would say so. People who weren't around back then don't know what that warmth was like.

Me too

Three shows that all three generations (grandparents, parents, and us kids) watched all together: "The Ed Sullivan Show", "The Jackie Gleason Show", and "Hee Haw."

What does that have to do with this video?

@@Nunofurdambiznez At 23:50 the narrator of this video says: "Competing family sitcoms like The Donna Reed Show decided to make the upgrade to color to stay modern. Leave It To Beaver had a choice: invest more to convert to color filming, or continue broadcasting in black and white."

My dad didn't trust the 'new' color TV tech, so he didn't buy one until 1969 to watch the Moon landing. Well, gee, the Moon is in black and white! My brother and I grew up in the '50s and '60s and LOVED LITB!

I remember, think it was DON DRISDALE!

@@dawnwesolowski8049 You are correct!! The episode was first broadcast on June 16, 1962.

They were supposed to live in Ohio near Cleveland. There are a few episodes that gave that impression. June was from St Louis and Ward grew up on a farm.

About two thirds thru that Don Drysdale episode there is a bit of dialogue that could not be said today .

Yeah, and it’s not completely out of the question for some kids to attempt surfing on Lake Michigan or Superior. It wouldn’t be all that thrilling, but there are “some” waves on the Great Lakes.

Came to see happy memories and instead have to see someone displaying a tortured fish. 👎

"Boy, Beaver, you really did it this time!"

The ‘wash-up’ scene is the cutest, funniest scene they ever made. I laugh just thinking about it - superb 😅😂..

​@@aimeemetzinger6718And Wally says, "Hey Beaver, can I borrow some of your turtle dirt?" Wally then tosses the "turtle dirt" into the draining tub and tells Beaver, "It'll leave a ring."

Agree 💯. And Tony Dow STAYED cute his entire life.

Thank you.The show is probably my all-time fave, but whoever/whatever narrated this video could have said everything that needed to be said with a lot less gum-flapping. Blah blah blah...

Who cares?
