"Leave it to Beaver", one of my all time favorite shows, made its debut today in 1957. The show had four characters that everyone could love: Dad Ward Cleaver, Mom June Cleaver, Wally and Beaver. And let's not forget Eddie Haskell, who probably drove every mother crazy!
"Beaver" lasted until 1963 so I saw it in reruns.
It is just a fun show with no deep meanings or messages about this or that. Just a kid growing up with a responsible dad, loving mom and older brother. In fact, I think that the show's success is that so many of us see our family in those characters.
By the way, I voted Mrs Cleaver as my favorite TV mom a few years ago. Still love the show:
