A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Blistering performances.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I liked the show and have the whole series. Beaver was cute in the first few seasons and the show focused on that. The show was kind of about kids, but also about how parents...parent. Ward and June came across as good parents. In the later seasons, Beaver was not so cute and so the show focused more on Wally and his friends. It would have been cool to have the show follow Wally to college and see how well he did. A lot of my life was like this show. Both of my parents were working professionals so they were both dressed up most of the time. My mom worked but we had a housekeeper (few days a week) so mom was around when we got home from school.We were free range kids and nobody really knew where we were at.

The whole show here is the parents, Hugh "Cool Dude" Beaumont and Barbara "Hot Chick" Billingsley.Those two goofy little boys need to go swimming in the river and get caught in the propeller of the nearest speedboat. And that goes for all their reject friends that they keep inviting over to the house. Ward should have forbid them to enter the premises. I'd like to be the next door neighbor so when Ward was out of town, I could come over and spend some quality time with June. This was a very clean show and I have always thought of it as such and with the highest respect........ I wonder if Barbara wore panties?

LITB is one of my favorite shows of all time, yet it is rife with quandaries and questions: Does Beaver have one independent bone in his body? What a follower – and ALWAYS with bad results. Why is Judy Hensler 6 feet tall? Why is Whitey such a shrimp? Why is Larry Mondello's mom 58 years old, and why does she look even older? Will Wally ever grow into them 2 big teeth in front? Has Gilbert ever been diagnosed as sociopathic? June sure has some sturdy, square jaws for a woman – hhmm… It's sad that Eddie's parents obviously despise him – and this coming from someone who despises his character! Maybe Ward works for the CIA or FBI, and moonlights as a nude supermodel on the side. What kind of a name is Whitey? What kind of an ugly name is Tooey? I always see it spelled that way, but I think maybe it could be the last name Touhy. I dunno. Why doesn't SOMEONE just sucker-punch and bitch-slap Eddie into next week? Gus the fireman is so hideous he should wear a bag over his head – Uh oh, THERE'S a fire hazard… I'm a woman, and even I have a big crush on Miss Canfield – and Miss Landers ain't far behind. Why do we never see, yet always hear about, Angela Valentine? Why do I find Fred Rutherford (amongst many other things about the show) totally hilarious? RAT RAT RAT!!!! Why do I still smile every time I hear: "He's just giving you the business"/"on account of…"/"Beaver, ya goof!"/"creep," etc. Aunt Martha should be shot. Did Ward or June have ANY 'hanging out' clothes? (Didn't think so.) What's up with Wally's nose scratching (although I think it's adorable)? Mrs, Rayburn looks like she could be a prize fighter. Wally's dreamgirl Jenny Townshend has a horse face. DON'T call him Lumpy! Is it me, or are the layouts for both of the Cleaver's homes kinda confusing? Why does Eddie call Wally by other names, including Gertrude? Why does June prance around in heels and pearls when nobody's gonna see her except for the kids and Ward? Whatever happened to June's parents, that she was raised by clueless Aunt Martha? In his later years, did Larry become a hardened coffee smoker, or what? Why did Gwen Rutherford take a real shine to the pet rat? (Oh, wait…!) Where in the living hell is Larry's father? Just what does Larry's sister look like? THESE THINGS ARE KEEPING ME AWAKE AT NIGHT! Man, I could go on forever, but I think you get my drift -- however, I just may be back with more.

I've been looking for an episode and was wondering if anyone could help me.... i'm looking for an episode where beaver makes a Mexican friend named Frankie Mendoza.. and he invites him to come over... if ya'll know anything about this please reply i'm going crazy looking for it. i just bought leave it to beaver season 1 and i should be getting it very very soon! i cant wait! I've heard nothing but good things about it and seriously can't wait to receive it in the mail.... the reason i'm looking for this episode is because my father saw it when he was younger. he saw it about a month after his brother Frankie Mendoza passed away, he was alone at home and told his mom about the show when she got home. my grandmother just thought that my dad missed his brother so much he was going crazy, and my dad just wants to prove that there was such an episode. i've googled it and searched everywhere... beginning to think that he is crazy! but anything will help thank you
