After a battle with cancer, our dear Wally has passed on.
For me, this hits the gut. So sad. LINK

77 jeez.
I watched the shows in the early 2000's but you see a guy as a young guy and its weird to think of him as being older

It was a good show and during it's run crime rates were really low.

Goofy show but it was one of my favorites growing up. "Geeeee Wally" (Beaver). Mom and Dad were always dressed to the nines when they were just having a family dinner. Did you know Barbara Billingsly could talk Jive? (Airplane)

The kind of show kids should be exposed to only now a days. Would be great if a site like Daily Wire TV would license these older shows so kids could have access to them. If done young enough, they may not even know better if they have no access to the newer garbage. Teach them young the way it use to be and should be.

Now Eddie Haskell has someone to get in trouble in heaven.
In real life they were good guys. Eddie (Ken Osmond) was an LAPD officer for years and would act on the side. Tony Dow was a first rate carpenter who would custom build houses.

My dad watched it with my nieces and nephews when they were younger. I think he has it on DVD.
I intend to tune my kids in soon.

Not going to lie. Was always a bit thrilled when June showed up with snacks.

I was born in the 50's and my brother and I would never miss an episode. We would mimic the best parts of the show.
One of them was when Beaver got stuck in the giant coffee cup on top of that building.
I climbed in my grandfather's massive fertilizer spreader and pretended I was stuck in that coffee cup. This was around the early 60's.

That's great to do for sure. Just don't know where it all can be seen.
Would love a site that has all those older ones to watch. Even shows like Dukes of Hazard, Airhawk, Magnum PI, etc, for when kids get a bit older. Old 80s and TGIF sitcoms.
Nothing new unless its legit conservative non-woke leaning.
I've been killing time with 1hr cop type shows that started in the middle aughts+ ie...Bones, Castle, Hawaii 5-O, even the bad acting MacGyver, Chicago PD, etc ones I never got into as I was never into scheduled TV, where you have to watch every week. It seems like around 2015ish is when it started going down hill in those shows. Was some little things in some prior, but 2015+ it really took an obvious turn.

Would this thread fit in better over on the OT?

I don't know about streaming services, but if you still have cable, MeTV has Leave It To Beaver every weekday at 7 am CST. I watch it over breakfast sometimes.

The 1950's were my childhood....I can remember my older brother and I along with my parents sitting down and watching the very first episode of LITB in 1957 at our home in Hollywood. It became my favorite show as a kid.
Over the years, I came to find out that the writers of the show based the episodes on some real-life accounts of the writer's own children and they incorporated those events into the show. I can certainly identify with a lot of stuff Beaver got himself into.
"Leave It To Beaver" was the first TV show in history to have what is called today the "series finale", the very last episode to close out the series ("Father Knows Best" would've been the first in spring/1960 if not for a writer's strike going on at the time). It aired in the spring of 1963 (I remember that one, too!).
