- In the twilight of the wholesome 1950s, nestled in the cozy set of "Leave It To Beaver," a peculiar moment slips through, one that wasn't polished away in editing. Amid the staged laughter and scripted lines, there it is-a blooper that tells a tale all its own. It was a time when television was king, and "Leave It To Beaver" was its loyal subject, shaping American family ideals one episode at a time. Yet here stands an error, unnoticed or simply left in, defying the era's quest for TV perfection.

I am 74 years old and I grew up with Leave It with Beaver. I loved it. It was a nice, clean show.
I'm 75 and watch it every weekday morning. Reminncing of the good old days
Imagine Barbara Billingsly with nose rings, tattoos and a tongue stud…and Hugh Beaumont in the closet and Beaver follows him to a gay bathhouse as per the South Park episode where Butters sees his daddy getting what for. Oh what a difference six decades does to television! 🙈🙉🙊
I love these old shows, too. Leave it to Beaver was a good one. My kids and grandkids love them, too.
I’m the same age as Jerry Mathers, when I watched BEAVER his reasoning made perfect sense to me. Fast forward and I’m teaching elementary school. Now I’m ‘Miss Landers’, and kids STILL think like Beaver. This was the day of VCRs.
I taped some BEAVER episodes from a cable channel and took the tape in to school. It was the last couple of weeks of school. One or two days a week I’d show an episode the last 25 minutes of the day.
The kids thought this was the greatest show ever, and wanted to know which cable channel it was on.
A great show is a great show, and I was able to share my childhood with my kids.
I used to watch Leave It To Beaver back then, and still watch the reruns now!
When"Leave It To Beaver" was produced, there was no such thing as internet, Netflix, or even a VCR. It was next to impossible for viewers to notice details like the license plate on the Cleaver car. Producers most likely used the car they had available, and it was highly unlikely a viewer would notice for the once a week the show originally aired.
True. An episode would be seen once "first run", then at MOST a handful of reruns over a span of years. No way anyone would notice, much less care!
It is a SITCOM.
I always notice the cars and license plates. The car towed was a Dodge. The car in the driveway was a Plymouth.
@@johnparker8588 If you were around before the VCRs and noticed this stuff, you are indeed observant. Most wouldn't.
@@jay-day my brothers and I were obsessed with cars and trucks. Born in 1951, I can tell you the make model and year of American made autos from 1952 through 1970. After that, they started downsizing sedans to increase gas mileage and the quality of the vehicles after 1974 were horrible. When I watch old westerns I always pay close attention to the horses they ride. I noticed that Clayton Moore (the Lone Ranger on tv, rode one white horse that had a black mole on the side of his face and the other one didn’t. Sure enough I found out there were two white stallions playing silver.
The most wholesome show EVER!
Who could forget the episode when June said,
Ward, you were awfully hard on the Beaver last night!
Different times, it was a wonderful time❤❤❤
For a few…
Every other episode 😅😅😅
Things weren’t clear enough on TV back then to catch those strings bouncing around faces. Heck I was happy enough just being able to see people’s faces.
The practical effects in classic TV never fail to fascinate! From fake bees to reused license plates, the ingenuity of old-school TV producers shines through. It's like peeking behind the curtain of television history. 📺✨
Love that show. I still watch it on ME tv.
I'm 66 and we didn't get our first TV till I was 9, and even after we got one we weren't allowed to watch anything except 6 p clock news, star trek on Friday nite and Saturday cartoons so I didn't watch a lot of TV growing up and didn't watch this show till I was in my 40s, it was a great show as were a lot of shows back then. I'm retired now and catching up with the world of TV
I'm 66 and my parents had a TV since almost a decade before I was born, and growing up I could watch anything I wanted other than The Three Stooges - my mom thought they were too violent.
"Boy Beaver.....when Dad gets home he's really gonna give you the business!"
Always liked watching Leave it to Beaver. Wally was my favorite.❤️
I liked Eddie Haskell
Ward and June were everyone's dream Mom & Dad.
How would you know speak for yourself
@@shadowbear66 I laughed at your comment. ..speaking for myself
Machine keeps saying Wall-E. Instead of Wally. Hire a human.
Eddie making a mistake on the title ofa book may or may not have been an error by the writers. But Eddie was constantly feigning a greater degree of maturity than he actually possessed when talking to adults.
to add to the height part of June Cleaver, i heard in other documentaries that she wore heals because Ward was so much taller than her. the part about her wearing heels because the kids were getting taller was news to me.
In an interview with the actress she admitted wearing heels because the boys were indeed getting taller. It had nothing to do with Ward. I saw the interview here on YT.
Your English grammar is as bad as Beaver's. ... taller than she... she wore heels.. what next, " my bike was stole?"
“Leave It To Beaver” was favorite show as a youngster back in the 50’s and early 60’s. I still watch reruns regularly. Most kids I knew felt Beaver was a wimp and thought Wally was the real star of the show. Plus, we wanted to see more of Eddie.
Let's talk a little bit about record player mechanics of the time. Belt???????? Record players of the time usually didn't use a belt. Most used an idler drive wheel. About the only record player(turntable) of the era which comes to mind was the Empire turntable. Those were large and fairly prominent. I don't see an Empire turntable anywhere. It would be expected that a idler-driven record player of the day might come to an abrupt halt as the power is disconnected. The sound would definitely fade away and when the power is turned back on, would fade back in after the turntable came back up to speed. This is one reason that tube-amplified juke boxes kept power on the tube filaments so that sound would start instantly when the needle dropped on the record.
.....I remember watching lots of black and white TV back in the 50s and 60s.....
it's 2024 and it seems like I'm still watching tons of black and white
If you watch The Munster's where Igor the bat or Grandpa when he's a bat are flying around you can see strings holding the fake bats too. There's a episode of Bewitched where Tabitha's bottle floats upstairs to her. You can see the string holding it
Lumpy, always giving everybody "the business" 😄
I wish we could go back to using simple effects where our imaginations had no bounds.
Great insight...I actually subscribed...a small discrepancy on the idea that cost was the reason that the producers kept the show in black and white as opposed to color...shows did not begin to be produced in color until the fall of 1966...beaver left the air in the spring of 1963...long before color was even an option...
The very young Beaver always reminded me of Teddy Kennedy as a child.
13:54)An episode of "Happy Days" had Richie going to an USMC member's bachelor party. The footage came from "Love, American Style".
20:35)Before "Still The Beaver", Ken Osmond was shot 4 times in one incident. Medically retired from the LAPD.
Beaver was so cute when he was from the beginning then it progressed he got older kind of like kittens and cats. I think the star of the show was ward cleaver if that isn't the perfect example of everyone's father or at least how it should be.😅
June struck me as naive for being a mom of two boys ( which she also was in real life). Or maybe I shd blame the writers. For example:
‘Ward, do you really think Beaver would have stayed up in that tree till he died?’
‘Ward, why would Beaver be carrying a box of mud?’
‘Ward, why do the boys have to fight? Why can’t they get along like little gentlemen?’
‘Ward, why would Wally and his friends want to go watch at the dancing school? They’re not taking dance classes.’
Even for the 50’s, those were sone pretty ridiculous lines….
So true. And l hated when she would say "Ward what would your father have done if you had done that"? She was funny and had a better sense of humor in the 1st two seasons.
Don't forget
" Ward, you were awfully hard on the Beaver last night,"
Different times!❤❤❤❤❤
A SITCOM!
I don’t understand the age issue. I don’t think it was a problem. The show was six seasons and depending on when Wally’s birthday was, he would have been 5 -7 years older. Same with the Beaver. If he was 7 when the series started, he would’ve been 5-7 years older, depending on where the birthdays fell during the imaginary years of the episodes.
Record players did not use belts in this time period. They used idler wheels that would promptly disengage and engage. The electronics were comprised of vacuum tubes. The song cutting off without winding down and restarting without winding back up again was plausible.They were true to the mechanics of the record players of the time.
Movie? When the show started Wally was supposed to be 12 years old and the beaver 8. By the end of the series, Wally HAD aged 5 years, so, 5 + 8 adds up to 13, which is about correct for the Beaver being 14. So, yes, Beaver DID age.
I guess that you didn't watch TV alot, or even movies? Scripts are often patterned after real life experiences. Plus, scripts are often written about current events and things to make the news. Especially in recent years, different shows revolve around the same situations which really happened in real life when the scripts were written.
Speaking of introducing shows within other established shows, it's been happening for a very long time. Maybe one of the characters in the "pilot" caught on, so a show was created for that character. Speaking of the Simpsons, you realize that it started as a short animated part of the Tracy Ullman show. The rest is history.
Where's the toilet tank? All I see is the lid for a toilet tank.
I loved Beave it to Leaver.
Your recounts of this history are generalized but not specific to actuality. LEAVE IT TO BEAVER was on ABC. ABC just started color broadcasts in 1962 with select shows. LEAVE IT TO BEAVER was in its last season. Since all of the shows were filmed in black and white, there was no desire to go to color. What are "expensive cameras?" The same cameras were used. There was a thing called color negative film that could be used in any standard camera. This was no longer the days of Technicolor film cameras--and issue made possible with the introduction of the color negative film in 1947.
There was talk of an expanded format going to NBC in color, but the plans were cancelled, partly because Jerry Mathers was interested in quitting and going to school full time. Regarding the license plate, the decision was simple. NO ONE noticed it, and the shows were not viewed back-to-back so that people could nit pick on such things. The same goes for the same calendar in the kitchen. It was a prop that made a suggestion. It was not that noticeable that anyone saw that it was the same calendar, nor did they care. Your attention was supposed to be on June Clever. It you weren't looking at her, there was something wrong with you. As for things like things being "edited out," there is no such thing in film editing. Continuity was generally consistent since there was a production person called a "Script Girl" whose job it was to observe what was in scenes and keep a record. Later on when the Polaroid Camera came along, the snap shots were used for accurate reference.
When I saw this episode when originally aired, I was aware of the "wow" issue that results from shutting off the power to a phonograph. It actually would have been funnier if the rundown and start-up of the record had happened, but that would have given away the gag. The interruption makes it more of a mystery. Eddie making the mistake on the author of the book was on purpose. Eddie was always pandering to the Clever parents to appear polite and intellectual. And no, the writers did not have trouble combining reality and make believe. Many of the stories came from things that happened with the kids of the creators. The show was from the child's point of view, which was the key to the show.
Our TV screens were usually so small in those days we wouldn't have noticed details like what was on a calendar.
Back in the days of the Lone Ranger of the 50s when the lone ranger and Tonto rode out of town, it was usually the same scene in every episode. Because the episodes were a week apart, you couldn’t remember that scene. As an adult, I watch reruns almost 2 or three times a day of those episodes and now you can actually see the towns are basically the same, no matter where they were located in the script. What the likely they just use the same shoot for every episode rather than a refill refilm.
and in the Lone Ranger .. it's always. ."who was that masked man?"... at the end... right?...
next someone will complain.. because each show uses the "William Tell Overture... at the beginning and end of each episode.. for the music score..
no surprise.. it is the same recording... not different renditions for each show...
so what?..
Only in the US could one compare the launching of the USSR Sputnik with Leave It To Beaver, and actually make the TV show sound more important.
Heinz studio 57, Twilight Zone, Alcoa Playhouse are called “Anthology Series.”
When I was a kid, for the longest time I thought the beaver had gone off and gotten killed in the Vietnam War… 😂
there are some errors in THIS video as well... at the 7:56 minute mark. .the narrator refers to this show as a "movie"... and then at the 8:16 minute mark they claim it was wally who had aged by 5 years... when they meant Beaver had aged 5 years.. while Wally stayed at 14.. but actually neither was 14.. I would suggest at the start of the show Wally WAS 12 and Beaver WAS 8... but toward the end of the show,,.. Wally was.. 17 and Beaver was 13 or 14///
I think they both aged properly within the show's lifetime..
Perhaps Mr. Rutherford had a thing for moms that wore pearl necklaces during the day.....hmmmm....
I always liked Gilbert we were same age and kind of looked alike
They didnt realize just how hard people were watching
I'd like to know why Mr. Rutherford was parking in the Cleaver driveway when Ward was not there.
The final episode was in 1963. I’m not sure if any sitcoms were broadcast in color by then.
Harry Shearer? The Simpsons started as a short cartoons as part of the Tracy Ullman Show.
Lot of shows stayed black and white till 1965
It looks like Wally was played by other actors. There is also a scene where 'Ward' is sitting on the couch and it is clearly not Hugh.
No! AN other actor. Just one!
Those were auditions and/or rehearsals.
What was the pilot episode of Leave It to Beaver?
It's a Small World
The pilot, titled "It's a Small World", aired on April 23, 1957. It featured Casey Adams as Ward Cleaver, and Paul Sullivan as Wally Cleaver.
Just fyi. When watching reruns this pilot plays as and episode. It might be found on TH-cam to watch😊
@@uffda7039 Casey Adams also went by the name 'Max Showalter'.
I enjoy black and white movies
starting at the 20:46 minute mark they present a brief history of Jerry Mathers Post Leave it to Beaver... while the whole time displaying photos.. of Tony Dow. in the video.. apparently the makers of this video did not know which was which..?..
You were kind of hard on the Beaver last night Ward.
Why didn't you mention Hugh Beaumont at the end? Guess dads don't matter, huh?
He had one stipulation in his previous portfolio "Does NOT like to work with children." As a matter of fact, the first year or so he is a little to grumpy and sour but mellows out by year 2
@@poetcomic1 I imagine it was quite a transition from film noir gangsters and detectives to best dad in town.
There wasn't even color for most people back then. The first color I ever saw was Star trac.
Well, to be fair, TVs were only 10x11 inches. Som you couldn't tell back then.
Ward Was A Great Human Being Perfect for this Part. I liked all of them Pretty Cool Good JuJu for Teaching right from Wrong to Kids of the Times and after. Hopefully.
Why is Young Sheldon in black and white?
Why do you watch it?
Why are there two Beavers at 4:24? A young Beaver, and younger Beaver!
That's Jerry and his younger brother Jimmy Mathers. They look similar. But it's not a LITB scene. Something else. You can see Jimmy Mathers on several single episodes of different shows, including a Bewitched episode (Little Pitchers Have Big Fears) in which he was a kid who wanted to be on a baseball team, but his overprotective helicopter mom wouldn't let him. Btw, the name of the episode was a play on words, on the old saying, "Little pitchers/jugs have big ears." Itself, a play on words, meaning be careful what you say within earshot of kids because they hear more than you think. A traditional clay pitcher from ancient times, even if small, would have "big ears/handles" for carrying it around. Hope this helps.
I don't think that picture was from the series, you'll notice there's also a girl, and the parents are different. Might be Jerry Mather's real family.
@@jesseroggio7260 As I said, the younger boy is his little brother Jimmy Mathers.
I doubt any of the viewers would know the real named author of a book.
Who wears suits at supper time and she wore jewelry while washing dishes
I am78 and we did have to clean up and dress up for dinner. Ladies also changed their house dresses for dress up clothes and stockings. There was also sections in ladies stores for house dresses or as they were called morning dresses. It really eas a different world than kids! Moms dressed up in late afternoon even you were just staying home. Pearls around the neck were almost a must and they did not leave the house without a girdle and stockings. Girdles were a must no matter how thin you were. The 60s brought about many changes.
Mrs. Beaver was having an Affair with Mr. Rutherford. That's why his car was in the driveway.
I mean, who actually looks at, or even memorizes a license plate?
Tony Dow aka Wally was such a Hunky Heartthrob back then. Can imagine other little Gay boys agreeing.
A place for everything and everything in its place, people bought quality over quantity
Sunday Eve
The Ed Sullivan show
Beatles, Stones, Miriam Makeba and lots more.
The mother staying taller than her sons was weird.
That BEE was Real! Look close. It's been said Mathers got stung 3 times during the filming. Being somewhat allergic, Mathers was THEN given a fake bee.
Wow! Well done you!
It always amused me that half the time, Ward grew up on a farm, the other half, he grew up in the city of Shaker Heights. But one thing that always bothered me was that when one of the boys was in trouble with Ward, and he punished them according to what he believed in, June always asked if his dad would have been as ‘nice’ to him in a similar situation. Then when Ward ALWAYS said no, he would’ve gotten the belt (or some other type of physical punishment, the audience always laughed. I just see nothing funny about punishing a child by hitting them with a belt. I know that was more popular punishment in the 50’s & before then etc. but it wasn’t funny then and I can’t understand why the writers (or soundtrack people) thot it was….
How come they wore those long overcoats as valets. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable and difficult to drive in?
Does anyone today realize how much everyday American women hated the characters played by Barbara Billingsly, Donna Reed, and their ilk! Real women didn’t wear high fashion and heels to clean the bathroom or cooked dinner!
The first pornography on T.V. was when June asked Ward not to be rough on the beaver.
Thanks for this.

Check out the maid in The Parking Attendants episode...she's hot!!!
First tv show to have a toilet in the bathroom
What about your OWN goofs in the narration?? You called the show a movie at one point, you called Dana’s book “The Mast”. You call the various mistakes “horrible”.
That’s a little extreme …
20:45 he says Beaver but shows pictures of Wally.
Why did he say that Beaver didn't age? He was definitely a little guy in the beginning and this person said that he stayed the same age at 14? Maybe I misunderstood.
No you didn't misunderstand there were some opportunities in narration. I had to listen to the line about the book title being wrong a few times before I figured out the narrator had spoken in error or maybe deliberately mixed the words. To be very clear, yes Eddie got the author's name incorrect, however he did get the book's name correct. It's called "Two Years Before the Mast" by Richard Henry Dana, Jr. The way the narrator says it is indeed cumbersome and jumbled but his idea and message are able to be understood. I believe that's the point. If someone can understand what you mean then that's the important thing normally, however, it becomes more important when you are presenting an opinion about someone else's errors in a body of work. Which is I believe most of the commenters' points as well. Easy-peasy.
@@t2delan1 Getting an author's name wrong is a mistake in the actual show, but as someone said, Eddie was always trying to come off as smarter than he was. Saying that Beaver didn't age is a mistake on the narrator's part and it sounds as if he really didn't watch the show. This is a major error
Who cares about minutia.😊
You need to go for speaking lessons . Your drone is very boring and makes it hard to watch
Fake robonarration has to go
While Ward and June were parents that I'd die for, my drunk father was beating me half to death for forgetting to take out the trash.
The license plate: could it be that it wasn't a license plate on a different car but just the same license plate on the same car??
Eddy Hascal was rumored to be porn star John Holmes.
