Topic: Leave it to Beaver turns 50

[falsealarms]

Well before my time, but I'm sure some here remember watching it when it first aired. This week marks 50 years since the show began.

ABC News has a few videos about the anniversery, including interviews with the cast - I believe Hugh Beaumont (Ward) is the only one who has died. Barbara Billingsley is still kicking at 92.

TV Land has had a LITB marathon all week that runs through 10/8. You can also watch a few full eps online.

Sorry I missed that marathon. I used to watch the Beav back in the 60s thru the 90s. Eddie Haskell would have made a great Stooges foil.
Love the episode where they yank Lumpys rear end off his back and it rolls into the street and the rear bounces against the garage door. Classic stuff.

umm, that was off the rear end of Lumpys car............I reread that and thought maybe I better correct the meaning.........or maybe it was better the other way. Eddie and Wally were trying to pay back Lumpy for putting smoke bombs in their cars and thought his car would just spin wheels.
