Rest in peace, Ken. You were an icon to an entire generation. Gone too soon.

RIP Ken... We all have had an Eddy Haskell in our life, thank you for making me laugh.

Thank you for showcasing Ken Osmond, AKA Eddie Haskell. I was a big fan of the show, and it’s very refreshing to see a child actor that didn’t turn to drugs and alcohol, and actually became a real hero. Someone that is an inspiration.

I am happy to hear how he turned out glad he survived being wounded in the line of duty. Heck of a stand up guy.

My wife and I still enjoy that show! The 1950's were really the Golden Age of television. So much of todays TV is just pure trash! R rated or worse! It's refreshing to just sit back and enjoy "Leave it to Beaver"!

I am 66yrs old,and a die-hard Leave it to Beaver fan forever.

Eddie reminds me of a friend I had in high school. You never knew if he was being sincere or was just trying to butter you up.

Eddie Haskell was definitely a smooth one! Mrs. Cleaver was hip to Eddie's schmoozing.

When I was in my 20s I would come home from work and eat dinner while watching these reruns. The Eddie character was very entertaining to say the least, he played it very well! Hats off to him for his service!

I believe it was Tony Dow who complimented Ken Osmond by saying he was probably the best actor of all the child actors on the show. He further clarified his statement by saying that Osmond was definitely playing against type. In other words, Ken Osmond was NO Eddie Haskell.

Eddie used to crack me up... One of the highlights of a great show!

I always loved June, in fact I met a girl named June in 75 and married her in 1981 and she is still with me, and sometimes she wears pearls and high heals just for me :) :) :) :)

Thank you Dave I've enjoyed all your videos. Glad to hear "Eddie" served his Country and the City of L.A. Again thanks for the memories.

Growing up back in that era was a treat! TV was a great form of entertainment! Shows had substance and a strong powerful message back then!

Quite a guy.....obviously not obsessed with stardom and fame. That's pretty rare among the Hollywood crowd.

That’s a lovely tribute you’ve written, Mr. Sundstrom. (Said in Eddie Haskell’s voice 😉)

Eddie Haskell...a name that is known and understood even to this day. Great show!

Very impressive. Way to go Ken. Thank you for serving your community!

Leave It To Beaver was a great classic sitcom, and the entire cast was wonderful. I enjoyed the character of Eddie Haskell because he made me laugh, and to this day I've known at least a dozen people like him. Ken Osmond was great in that role.

Eddie was great character for his time, all time great.

What an incredible character actor. Great memories of the show

Another good one Dave. Ken Osmond was really the opposite of Eddie Haskell according to Jerry Mathers in an interview. He was nice and polite to the younger cast members and would buy them ice cream and help them out on the set and off. All the "beat it squirt" and "Wally tell your creepy brother to get lost" and the conniving deviousness that had a wary June and Ward keeping a watchful eye on him, was a whole different persona. Ken played Eddie very convincingly. One of my top five all time favorite shows. Also glad to hear of his service to his country and the LAPD.

E: that's a very nice dress you're wearing today mrs. Cleaver. J: why thank you Eddie

What a great American hero. Thank you for your service.

Good stuff on this clip ... RIP Eddie

Great job on the reflection of Ken Osmond. I really loved his acting and all of the actors actually in that wonderful show! Thanks for your great videos Dave!

I was visiting my grandparents in Pittsburg years ago. It must have been in the seventies, as I was in single digits. I was up before everybody else, so I trundled down stairs and switched on the massive cabinet television. An old BW TV show came on, and within a few minutes, I was hooked. I don't remember the episode, but I remember Miss Landers. So not only was I hooked on the show, but I was in love as well. I am still a huge fan to this day. This was and is a very important piece of my childhood.

One of my favorite characters on Leave It To Beaver. He added an invaluable element to the show’s lighthearted comedy.

I always loved how the writers/creators of the show would always have Wally tell Eddie to "cut it out, Eddie!"

Oh, to have moms look like June again. Here's to all the stay at home moms who put family first...👊🇺🇸

So cool! This gave me goosebumps. So awesome he is still doing great things. Also sad, the aging of the characters and unfortunately the loss of some characters makes you realize how short our time is and do enjoy everyday to the most!!! Thanks for posting. This was great. Honestly. Keep doing what you’re doing. We all enjoy it.

I remember when the story broke LAPD officer Ken Osmond was shot in the line of duty. I couldn't recall the exact year, but it was in the early 1980's (You clarified that, Dave, with it being the fall of 1980). At the time, the black-&-white newsprint picture showed Ken in his police service uniform without a helmet or hat. He pretty much still looked like "Eddie Haskell" in that photo - except with a requisite cop mustache. Fortunately, he was not seriously wounded but did, indeed, take gun fire. I was unaware he served in the U.S. Army reserve, but did know he has been active for years with supporting veterans. That last bit about Ken's visit to a group of incarcerated men is a pleasant surprise. What a guy! A former child actor, and former law enforcement officer giving his time to help out some of the people he could have at one time put in that place. I will have to read his books for sure! Thanks again for doing what you do here on KZfaq.

My best friends mom used to call me Eddie Haskel. It wasn't until highschool that I horrified.

I always thought Eddie was complementing June to try and get on her good side. But she saw right through him. Lol

I read Ken’s book a few years ago. An inspiring read and one I would recommend to any L. I. T. B. fans. Thanks for another winner Dave!

I always use his line, "Hello Mrs Cleaver" when I'm talking to my friends mothers on Facebook :)

Great job I had a friend like that as well‼️ It was never boring ‼️And naturally he is nothing like his character on the show. But he did his character so well everyone thinks he is‼️ Wow a police officer and shot in the line of duty‼️Nice tribute‼️Thanks for sharing‼️

Eddie was to me a light that shined bright for the SUCCESS of this program FUNNY funny guy.

Eddie Haskell was my first introduction to the fast talking, wise cracking, think on your feet teenager. Such a natural talent.

I'm 60yrs old and still watching.😊

Sounds like he is one terrific guy! Loved the show, each and every episode. Miss 'em.

Thank you so much for posting this. These old shows always take me back to a time that I wish I go back to.

I still watch leave it to beaver ever morning.☺️

Eddie Haskell might have been my favourite character on the show. He was such a wiseguy and the irony is, everyone saw through his act. Underneath it all, he had a heart. I forget the episode, but Eddie did something nice for Beaver which was really out of character. It prompted Beaver to remark that Eddie wasn't such a bad guy. I have the highest respect for Ken Osmond, having served his country, and serving in the line of duty as a cop..and surviving multiple shots. He must be one tough dude. Thanks for filling me in on Ken's history, Dave! He is quite a character.

Rest in Eternal Peace Ken Osmond.

Rip my heart truly aches🥺 They may come as good as Ken, but they don't come any better

i'm 67 and still watch the show all the time, Eddy makes the show.

Ken Osmond had the most challenging role on LITB. It's amazing that a kid his age could convincingly convey the kind of sarcastic wit that was written into every one of his lines. I'm glad Osmond found a way to lead a sane life despite his fame, but it's too bad his talents as an actor were not put to use after he left the show.

R.I.P. "Eddie Haskell" May 18, 2020

He was my all time favorite Beaver character! He grew up to be a great guy

Leave It To Beaver was a warm wonderful show that I have enjoyed since it debuted when I was a toddler. Watching the Cleaver family has given me uncountable hours of pleasure over the years. I have the complete series box set and always watch it on the ME TV channel. Ken Osmond as Eddie Haskell was, quite simply,THE finest portrayal of a character in a sitcom in the history of television

YES!!! I used the term Eddie Haskell to describe someone just the other day😂😂😂 I loved that guy❣️❣️

Oh, the places your channel takes me! Thank you!! 😊

Eddie Haskel-Ken Osmond a rare find indeed. Much enjoyed his character and we're amonng the best episodes. Thanks for the memories Eddie (Ken)👍❤

Ken Osmond: June 7th, 1943 - May 18th, 2020. Rest in peace, Eddie.

Love your videos ! Thanks so much Dave !

As a little kid, Eddie Haskell represented everything intimidating about the big kids.😂🤣

I'm totally voting "crush"!! I'm glad YOU said it!! The eye contact and body language in those scenes where he compliments Mrs. Cleaver on her outfit or her hair tell the story. I've never heard Ken Osmond say it in so many words, but it's almost palpable how sincere the wiseguy flatterer seemed to become in those moments. btw, he should get extra kudos for essentially playing two parts as the same character.

Thank you for sharing these stories!

I didn't watch the show but he seems like a good guy, really.

Thank you for posting your excellent video on Ken Osmond!

If you didn’t have a friend like Eddie growing up , then you missed out . Everyone needs an Eddie

I still have the newspaper clipping when he got shot and was recuperating as an LAPD officer.

Man I gotta say, I'm so happy that I found your channel very recently. I had no idea that he became a cop. I didn't even know that he was still alive. Thanks alot for all of your digging, to bring us such great stuff ! I remember Jerry Mathers doing an episode on Married With Children. Love the trips down memory lane. Great job 👍

He was definitely one of the supporting actors that made the show so awesome! Such an interesting life as well. Thank you!

"Good morning Mrs Cleaver. Is Wallace available"? Love all of them. Hugh Beaumont was so great. Dont get hollered at.

Love this your video popped up in my recommended RIP a great icon Ken Osmond

Thank you for the upload 💜

Ahhh, memories! THANK you!❤

LOVE EDDIE HASKELL/KEN OSMOND ALWAYS! Thank you Dave!!!

Another great review of my favorite show from back in the day. Glad I found your channel.

RIP Ken Osmond - he'll always be the inimitable and legendary "Eddie Haskell" to American TV viewers.

It's pretty subtle, but Ken's eyes show a kind happiness, or happy kindness in the majority of the photos of him, even in the few in which he isn't smiling. I had heard of him taking up the badge, but not about his taking bullets. Glad he survived. Hope the shooter didn't. Anyway, thanks for another dose of the good stuff. Even though I watched quite a bit of Leave It To Beaver, my strongest memory of Barbara is "I speak jive".

Thanks for this! And yes! Eddie definitely had a little crush on June. 😍🥰

Watching old re runs gave me a sharp eye when raising my kids and bringing an eddie Haskell or two around.

I like it that your videos are always so upbeat

Another documentary well done. Thanks!

Love your videos. I think Leave it to Beaver was a very well written show and I still enjoy it today. The actors and writers from that show should be very proud of what they accomplished.

I recently came across your channel. I like your easy speaking. You sound down to earth and I really like your content.

I met him in 1978. He worked with my cousin's neighbor on the police force. He was a motorcycle cop. He was really nice and laughed and joked with us. It was cool to meet him.

Great job. Thank you.

Eddie Haskell made the show funny as well

Love that, I was wondering just this and ah there it is, so glad to hear about his life!

Had the honor of meeting this man at a donut shop during his work for the LAPD got an autograph nice guy Glendale Winchell's......

Eddie was the show's best character.

Ken Osmond was perfect what a character, everybody had a Eddie Haskell in their life and mine.

RIP Ken Osmond🙏🏻 Died today at 76

Eddie was the spice that the show needed! :))

Thanks Dave!

Rest In Peace, Eddie! Ken Osmond 1943- 2020.

Hi Dave I'm a new sub and fan of your channel I was a little kid watching nick at night when i t first aired on nick during the mid to late 80's, those reruns were the only shows my mom and bigmama would allow me and my younger sister to watch at night , I feel good watching your content I had some of the best memories watching these shows on nick at night, with my mom and bigmama (my grandmother we called her bigmama ) i'm 40 now , its nice to see things from our past it put a smile on my face, BTW dobie gillis was my favorite show to watch during that block, thanks dude for this content

Hi Dave, Happy 4th of July! Well now, good day to recall Eddie Haskell cuz he was a "firecracker"!! LOVED HIM!! There was no one like Eddie!! He stood out as the one character who just was born to cause trouble and get a kick out of it!! Nothing is perfect in life, there's always that one fly at the picnic that keeps ANNOYING everybody...that's Eddie, but he was a good looking fly!!

Eddie was the kind guy that was up something thing if the time was right or opportunity presented itself. When he would compliment Mrs Cleaver , everyone know it was a put-on. He didn't sound sincere when he would said it. But there were times that Eddie was cool & didn't rat out his friends. When on a certain evening Beaver messed-up Wally's jacket. 1st he had put fish later he spilled ink or paint. Beaver told Eddie what he did he did & when it was time to go to the party. Eddie convinced Wally to take another kind of jacket. He didn't rat Beaver out & Beaver no doubt was probably crapping in his pants. Eddie might've been a creep at times but he was the kind guy that had your back. That's great if his marriage lasted 50 Yrs, because nowadays most marriages end-up in divorce. The image of Eddie Haskell will always live on.

Lol I loved Eddie he remind me of that one friend we all had, brother or even the little bit of Eddie Haskell that's in all of us. =D

Love the show. Thanks for this!

A great tribute to a very fine man, and yes, I highly recommend reading Ken's book! Some other trivia: Barbara Billingsley had a steak house restaurant called "Billingsley's" located near the Van Nuys Airport. One of the best steaks that I ever had! Jerry Mathers real life father, Norman Mathers was the principal at my high school in the San Fernando Valley. For our senior class, he had Larry Fine, (one of the original 3 stooges), give an inspring talk, then later in the semester he had Yvonne De Carlo, (Lily from the Munsters TV program), give another inspiring talk to our senior class as well.

Yeah....we had one of those in our neighborhood back in the day!!!

That show was such a favorite just to see what kinds of situations was going on fabulous show.

Happy July 4th! And thank you for doing this.
