Product Description:
Now with this release fans nostalgic for the simple moral lessons at the heart of LEAVE IT TO BEAVER can own the show's entire second season. Part of television's golden era the series first aired in 1957 but really grew in popularity with later audiences when it ran as repeats. The picture of a perfect 1950s family the Cleavers consisted of troublemaking Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver (Jerry Mathers) too-perfect big brother Wally (Tony Dow) wise dad Ward (Hugh Beaumont) and eager-to-please housewife June (Barbara Billingsley). Thanks to the influence of his friend and ally in crime Eddie Haskell (Ken Osmond) Beaver never goes too long without getting into some kind of mess. But with some of his mom's home cooking and his dad's sage advice Beaver always sorts it out in the end.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/CLASSICS Rating: NR UPC: 025192927621 Manufacturer No: 29276
Amazon.com:
The second season of Leave It to Beaver finds the Cleaver family happy and wholesome as ever, with most episodes involving the Beaver getting into a scrape, or hearing the from-the-mountaintop advice from Mom or Dad afterwards. Despite the formula, the episodes hold up well, because of the earnestness of the actors and the delivery of their lines, which is, well, swell. Mom June (Barbara Billingsley) is the matriarch who makes it all look easy in her well-pressed frocks and pearls (pay close attention to those necklaces--there are actually several; some plain strands and some with pendants), and Dad Ward (Hugh Beaumont) is thoughtful and a little monolithic. But it's the adventures of boys, older brother Wally (Tony Dow) and the Beav (Jerry Mathers), that make the show so fun. One episode involves Beav and pal Larry (Rusty Stevens) playing hooky (they're late to school anyway, and they figure they may as well get 'killed' later as opposed to today), and then winding up on live TV, on a show which June just happens to be watching. Moral? Golly gee, there's more than one, and they're delivered by both parents and Beav's teacher--and echoed earnestly by Beaver himself. The chuckles come in a ready stream, even if sometimes inadvertently. Sample exchange: Wally: 'Mom, can I get tattooed?' June: 'Tattooed!? Absolutely not!' Wally: 'Oh, OK. Bye.' No wonder people are so nostalgic for the '50s--teenagers never gave anyone any lip. This season, 1957-58, contains 39 remastered episodes on three double-sided discs, and is a treasure box of nostalgia, in the absolute best sense. --A.T. Hurley
