Some of the things in the show are considered clichéd nowadays.It can be pretty cheesy, but that's something that can be said about most shows from the 1950s due to The Television Codes.Leave it to Beaver, Season Six: Wallys License. Ward comes to the rescue when Beaver arrives and finds that hes the only one without a sport coat and tie. One character, Eddie Haskell (played by the late Ken Osmand), can be quite unlikeable most of the time. Beaver insists on attending the Father and Sons banquet in regular clothes because he thinks thats how the other boys will be dressed.The brotherly relationship between Beaver and Wally is very heartwarming and realistic.The black-and-white cinematography is a nice touch, mainly due to being shot in the 50s and 60s.Many unforgettable moments in each and everyone of the episodes, like the episode, In the Soup, where Beaver gets trapped inside a large teacup.Incredibly catchy instrumental theme music.The Cleavers can be very relatable and accurate as a normal suburban cookie cutter family.Much like I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners, this is one of the most memorable and popular early 1950s television shows.
An amazing representation of how life was like during the 1950s and 1960s. Fast forward to the New Leave it to Beaver and a prop bank check in one of last episodes shows the Mayfield and Hamilton Ohio area code for Wally’s house next door to the Cleaver house, but also shows the zip code is from Simi Valley CA (and a bank routing number from Minnesota).The show has some great kicks at humour.The show follows a young, naive little boy named Theodore “Beaver” Cleaver (Jerry Mathers) and his misadventures with his friends, family and older brother, Wally (Tony Dow).
