- Actress Cheryl Holdridge, who played Julie Foster, one of Wally Cleaver’s two main girlfriends in six episodes of “Leave it to Beaver” (she also played Gloria Cusick in two earlier episodes), revives her role as Julie 25 years later in this 23rd commercial-free episode of the Still the Beaver revival series called “While the Beav’s Away” that debuted on The Disney Channel Oct. 2, 1985.
Wally’s childhood chum Tooey Brown (Lucas "Luke" / “Tiger” Fafara) also returns in this episode in which he and Julie join Wally and his pregnant wife Mary Ellen (Wally’s other school girlfriend in five episodes, here played by Janice Kent), as well as Eddie Haskell and Lumpy Rutherford on a committee to put together a high school reunion.
The fun comes in awkward moments as Julie makes no secret of her continued interest in Wally.
Ten year-old Giovanni Ribisi (credited here as Vonni) shows up in a continuing role as Duffy, best friend of Beaver’s youngest son Oliver, this time letting “Ollie” take the blame for breaking the window of a mean neighbor while Beaver's away on a business trip. Meanwhile, since Oliver lied to grandma June Cleaver (Barbara Billingsley) about other troubles he caused, he can’t get Grandma to believe that he didn’t break the window.
This is the 23nd of 26 episodes in 1984-85 before the series featuring most of the original cast of Leave it to Beaver, including Jerry Mathers and Tony Dow, moved to WTBS Superstation for three more seasons under the name The New Leave it to Beaver from 1986-89.
These videos are taken from my Betamax VCR personal recordings of the show when it originally aired.

I still watch every morning and I'm the age in between Wally and Beaver. It does give a warm feeling especially you are all alone in real life. It puts a smile on my face. Thanks
I still watch Leave It To Beaver every morning-7-8 am ❤️❤️❤️ Wally was so cute & beaver too . Happy they both are doing well
Michael or Michelle?
Wally dead!
i was sad to hear it when Wally died this summer
Yep, watch this with my 11 year old daughter. Great show!
They should of had a picture of Ward in the opening credits.
He's in several in black-and-white and color but they go by very fast, and he's also in photos on wall when boys come down the stairs at beginning of every show, but also hard to see. This show does more touching tributes to Ward, makes more references, and shows more clips of an actor who is no longer on the show than any other show I have ever seen in my life, so I can forgive them if they didn't do one little thing like this the way you and I might have liked.
@@shettrick Thank you for your reply back. What you said is very true. I have looked at clips of interviews of Jerry Mathers and Tony Dow when they were together and when they were alone, and the way they speak about Hugh Beaumont as well as Barbara Billingsly, you can tell they loved them both in real life as well. Thanks again for the reply, and Happy Holidays
i agree.
I agree
@@shettrick The references to Ward in this show, particularly during the Still The Beaver film made me well up, both he and Hugh Beaumont passed very soon and much too early
I remember seeing every single episode of Still the Beaver back in the 1980's very much.
Please think positive at all times. ©®

I have seasons 1-6 on DVD and still watch them and laugh so much
You must be talking about the original 1950s-60 series Leave it to Beaver -- this revival series of the 1980s ran only four seasons and has never been released on DVD or seen on TV or anywhere else for 30 years
@@shettrick yes the original LITB
I have to wonder what it would have been like if they had written Wally marrying Julie Foster (since it seems Cheryl Holdridge was happy to reprise her character now and then) instead of Mary Ellen. They still look like a cute pair!
Things probably would have gone down the drain in the same way that it did for Beaver. Julie was more of the sleazy type unlike a lot of the other ladies that Wally went out with in the original series.
@@1watersthree I’m not disagreeing with you, but what made her so sleazy to you. I do think that Mary Ellen and Wally were very cute together.
Love old Mr. Sloan's perfectly preserved 1950s era crackerbox tract home and Studebaker in the driveway. Could've been our house and car back in '57!
Cheryl Holdridge had pretty much given up acting by this point, so it is a bit of a surprise she reprised her role. I was hoping she would have more of a part in it.
You're right, and since Cheryl hadn't acted in many years, I thought it was great that Still the Beaver producers encouraged her to come back to reprise her character who was only in about six episodes of LitB for this funny scene with another former LitB actor who was in even more episodes of LitB, Tooey Brown (Luke Fafara).
Scott, Fafara had a younger brother Stanley, who played the part of Whitey Whitney in the series. I think he had some drug problems later on, and passed away at a relatively young age. sad. Anyway Thx. for the upload!
@@jonwilson7542 Yep that's what I've read about Stanley Fafara too. You're welcome for the vid
jon wilson and his real brother was Tiger who played Tooey.
RIP Cheryl Louise Holdridge
Problem with this show was it leaned WAYYYYY to much on the little kids who NOBODY cares about that watched the old show. Should have been 90$ on Beav, Wally, Eddie, Lumpy and the others on the REAL LITB show....
But of course the reason you liked the original show was because it focused on the kids
i allways liked julie foster
ALWAYS
I always liked down to earth Julie Foster’s character a lot more than stuck up “entitled “ snob Mary Ellen. Julie was a better partner for Wally.
Hmmmm, other than high school, Mary Ellen turned out to be an excellent wife/partner for Wally and great mother to Kelly and Kevin, while Julie turned out to be a flirt and home-wrecker
@@shettrickagree no woman on the show had Wally heart Like MaryEllen they was soulmates she even said it when they first met
Thank you for uploading these! I like this show almost as much as the original! And that's saying a lot!
RIP Tony Dow
A lot of celebrities have passed away this year. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Thank you so so much Scott Hettrick for posting the Still The Beaver NewLeave It to Beaver series I was a kid in the 80s and I use to watch this series on Disney Channel and Tbs when it called WBTS Superstation. Im not sure if Disney remotely drop the series or if Ted Turner just paid Disney a ton of money to buy off the rights to the show but I do know for sure that Ted Turner paid a massive amount of money for New Leave It to Beaver to be aired on WTBS Superstation back in the mid 1980s.
You're very welcome; glad you are enjoying it again. This was a Universal Studios show that they got Disney Channel to initially buy 13 episodes, and then a second group of 13 episodes, for total of 26 that they ran every two weeks and spread across whole year.
Disney Channel was in its second year as a premium/pay channel like HBO at the time, and even though Still the Beaver was popular, it was expensive and Disney realized they would not lose subscribers if they dropped it, and could save a lot of money. This shocked Universal and the industry and everyone on the cast and crew.
It took Universal a year to find another buyer - they were negotiating with Nickelodeon and others - even Christian Broadcasting Network.
Ted Turner was having great success with reruns of original LitB on his WTBS Superstation and thought this would be a great companion series. The boatload of money he paid that you are remembering was his unprecedented advance order of three more seasons (74 total additional episodes) before he even broadcast the first episode. This would give Universal a total of 100 episodes, which was the benchmark for selling the show in syndicated reruns after its initial run ended in 1989 on WTBS.
@@shettrick Thank you for your reply and thank you for explaining about the story behind Ted Turners buy out of the show and thanks again for posting these New Leave It to Beaver episodes I know its alot of hard work for you to post this older videos i really appreciate it.
@Smith Hart If you're asking who played Beaver's oldest son; that character was changed immediately after the pilot CBS TV movie to Beaver's oldest son in the series being named Kip and played by actor called Kipp Marcus - he was almost all 101 episodes of the series for 4 years.
@@shettrick I figured it would be Ted Turner willing to pay to have both this and the original and I'm also not surprised by Disney playing cheap on any more seasons; they'd just undergone a management change at the time. They changed networks before back in the 1950s, so even this wasn't new!
@@Attmay True, if CBS hadn't started the first season of the original Leave it to Beaver, ir never would have become a six-season series that became popular for 60-plus years.
If Disney Channel hadn't funded first 26 episodes of Still the Beaver in 1984-85, it probably would never have started anywhere else.
Neither CBS nor Disney Channel were being cheap - just strategically smart for their business and shareholders; Both CBS and Disney Channel went on to grow enormously successful without more seasons of Beaver.
But I'm glad ABC picked up five seasons in 1958-63 even thougjh original series never ranked among the top 30 series of any of its six seasons for ABC. And I'm glad TBS picked New Leave it to Beaver from 1986-89 even though it was never a huge ratings success for TBS either.
Thank you for posting my family appreciates it tremendously!!!!
Thanks for sharing this rare GEM, Scott!
The way he walked away 😭
Simple show's love them
Loved this show ! I wish it was on dvd!
This is a quality show. So strange why they never aired re-runs
They did air reruns for several years at least through 1991-92 in countries all over the world but then the owner of the company that licensed the syndication rights became a fugitive felon in Australia and fled to Spain where he died several years later, leaving the legal rights up in the air. Since then, no one cared enough to spend the time or money to try to sort it out, and now it's not certain if the master tapes were among the 40,000 destroyed in a fire at Universal Studios in 2008. Even if they weren't burned, no one knows or cares who owns it because it never did well enough in the ratings to generate enough demand to resurrect it
Scott Hettrick wow thats crazy. What a story ! Thanks for taking the time to fill me in.
Why was there no picture of Ward? He was left out in the pic of Wally June and Beaver in the intro..**when they were kids..**
You're right about very first picture of June and two boys, which is what this series is about, but Ward is in several of other photos and the TV movie and series devote many touching scenes and flashbacks to Ward and frequently mention him with great respect and tribute
the house was moved , now the neighborhood sure looks different than it did , so does the garage
It wasn't moved before this series was produced, but yes, has been since
Ahhh dry up June!
Love “June’s” shoulder pads!
Interesting. The street they're on at the end does not look like a backlot, but an actual location.
June is not as nice as she used to be. She never shouted in the original series.
Not true, she yelled at boys in a couple episodes, once in first season when she is breaking them up from fighting
Clip in this talk show interview of when June yelled at boys to stop them from fighting, and told them they must make a pact to be nice... th-cam.com/video/bUmkgb80WFk/w-d-xo.html
@@scotthettrick9125 That wasn't yelling, it was speaking sternly.
@@williamroberts1693 June has lost a couple of miles off her fastball.
@@scotthettrick9125 She did tell Wally off about his choice of hairstyle, and Beaver copped it for copying Wally.
Saw the end credits. Is Kelly Bank Frank's daughter?
Yes, and many other children of stars were in the series too, including Tony Dow's son and of course both of Ken Osmond's sons, as you know
@Scott Hettrick, OK Scott, I'm hoping you can clear up something for me. Season 6, Episode 10, Wally asks Ward to borrow the car so he can bring Shirley (girl from Driver's Ed class) to the country club dance. In that episode, I'm sure I heard Wally refer to the dance as a prom. Eddie and Lumpy were going stag. Was that a normal thing for mid-western schools in the early 1960s to refer to a special dance as a prom? I know at the end of the series there was a formal dance at the country club that I always assumed was their High School prom. Thanks for any help you can give to enlighten me.
Wally does indeed refer to the dance at the country club as the school prom. In my experience - may be different for others -- proms were generally only for seniors, formal and held just once as the last big dance of high school, usually toward the end of the year but could be mid-year as Wally's was. Many schools, including mine, also added a junior prom.
They STILL speak in pauses! 😂
I believe the guy that had his window broken was on the original show. He talked with Beaver in his den when Beaver was invited to an all girl party.
and Tooey!
i notice two pictures staircase its fast family photo
Scott, my name is Fritz; and, since I've watched 23 episodes of Season 1 entitled Still the Beaver, do you also have the Punchin' In and Carried Away Episodes from that same first season of the revival Beaver series to upload?
I have posted the first 25 of the first 26 episodes of Still the Beaver here, including Carried Away (th-cam.com/video/v72uyxHklVI/w-d-xo.html). And yes, Punchin' In is the 26th that I will likely post soon. Also have the last two episodes of The New Leave it to Beaver series, and will soon be posting the 70-plus episodes of those three seasons in consecutive order
@@shettrick Thanks Scott, I probably did watch the first 25 episodes, including Carried Away. I've seen the Still the Beaver Pilot Telemovie, the 1997 Theatrical Beaver, The It's A Small World 1957 Pilot, and at least 134 episodes of the original 1957-63 Beaver.
❤❤😊
In one episode, I think Julie's name was Gloria 😮
Right, many of the actresses and actors played multiple different characters as happens on many shows -- Hugh Beaumont played several characters on Mannix, etc.
I used to call him Duffy the Snuffy !
2 and a half minutes of this program is the same every week.
Another great episode..When is the next one?
Glad you are enjoying. All 101 episodes have been posted here at my channel for several years. Here's a link to the next one: th-cam.com/video/iYk3xOWjHQk/w-d-xo.html
I swear Cheryl Holdridge (1944-2009) was cute in the original "Leave It To Beaver" (1957-1963). But trying to make up for lost time ⌚ with Wally Cleaver? Don't press your luck!!!
Why did they call Olly (John Snee) Beaver in the ball field?
I would have liked the show to be named Beaver Generations.
They should have left out the laugh track.
Agree, I showed difference with and without laugh track in Still the Beaver movie on CBS vs the added track for syndicated reruns... th-cam.com/video/lTVBprfFWVE/w-d-xo.html
This show is painful to watch. It's so incredibly dated. It makes Small Wonder look like a comedic masterpiece.
Sorry you feel that way. It was never a masterpiece but I and many enjoy the nostalgia of seeing so many of actors we liked in Leave it to Beaver having fun as adult actors, and reuniting with child actors who haven't acted in decades. Not for everyone but many thousands enjoy watching these episodes, so I will keep posting for those who enjoy.
@@shettrick It's fun to see them for the novelty, yes. The actor who remained unscathed from this mess is Tony Dow. His Wally was much better as an adult then a teenager with a perpetual tan and impeccable manners.
@@jenniferdonlin6627 I agree about Tony Dow but also think the most fun to watch in this series is Ken Osmond and his real-life son Eric Osmond, a near-clone of his Eddie Haskell father; I laugh a lot at both of them. Frank Bank's Lumpy is pretty close to same as original series also, and the characters/actors who come back for cameos are fun for me. I don't view the whole thing as a mess just because it's not as great as original series - it was most popular show on Disney Channel in first season and very popular on TBS Superstation initially for its three seasons.
@@shettrick jenny is a loony guy who has atleast 500 posts on you tube making fun of tony dows weight and hair loss jerry mathers looks sndy griffiths looks patty dukes weight etc hes a miserable.person
@@SwedishMeattball ah, thx for heads up
I've never watched anything but the original LITB.. I'm wondering why to the grandchildren speak like they're illiterate from the prairie? They sound uneducated.. maybe that's why it was canceled.. but I'm enjoying watching for the first time..
Nah, I think it was low quality that did them in especially when they moved to Florida. Bad move on their part.
Wow, they hardly sound illiterate. It is just the wholesome quality that you are observing. It is made to appeal to family viewers. If you pay attention to Freddy he is actually quite intelligent and has an impressive vocabulary.
They play baseball with neckties. Except for the black kid who is always in a Halloween costume. Why?
It's picture day at school so they are dressed up. That little boy always liked to wear the superhero cape. It was part of his character.
From watching the old show to this show I always felt that Beavers 🦫 mother babied him to much. Well look how he ends back at home with mommy, about to get divorced with 2 kids, and miserable 😂 they should’ve changed the title to “It still sucks being the Beaver” 🦫 😂
Very realistic and reflective of 1980s. She raised Wally too and he turned out fine -- very common for parents to raise kids doing same thing and have them turn out very different
yep
