It was 28 years from the beginning of Leave it to Beaver to the Still The Beaver movie and TV series. It's been 35 years since the end of Still the Beaver.
Eddie Haskell is the only person who actually cracks me up when he makes himself a victim. Literally everybody else drives me nuts when they do it but Eddie Haskell pulls it off perfectly. Definitely a fan of him. Always a favorite character.
I love this comment!!!!! Eddie's character was written so well and played beyond reality by Ken Osmond. When he was down his sincerity shined. He never played a sympathy card. He was the TIGGER of the show. 💓
To me, Eddie being a jerk in the original show is more funny as he’s just a teen. Though, it’s well far less charming here in this show. As he’s a grown man.
In the opening credits, where there are things in the background (convertibles for Wally, hot dogs for Lumpy, cookies for June, etc) what are those things in the background for Janice Kent (Mary Ellen) supposed to be?
I never realized how much screen time Ken Osmond had on this show when I first watched it as a kid. Was this done to make up for the absence of Hugh Beaumont?
No, they had plenty of characters and actors on the show to make up for absence of Beaumont, including Mary Ellen and Cleaver kids/grandkids, plus Eddie's two kids. It was pretty clear to me that Osmond's Eddie Haskell was one of the primary highlights of the series and certainly the best and easiest way to get the biggest laughs and prompt funny situations for other characters to have to deal with.
@@shettrick I have to respectfully disagree. With Hugh Beaumont's absence, I think this show needed one of the original actors to help carry the show. And Ken Osmond, who had a lot of acting experience, was the perfect person to give more screen time to. There are too many episodes of The NLITB that revolved around his character to ignore his importance. And the episodes that didn't center on him still gave him a lot of screen time. Compare his involvement with this show to Frank Bank's. It's like night and day. It's also important to note that Ward was the moral stronghold of the original show who taught lessons of morality to his boys. In the original series and its revival, Eddie is on the opposite end and the other characters have to give those lessons to him.
@@mistercool3859 OK, well, I guess you misunderstood what I wrote - contrary to you suggesting I ignored the importance of Ken Osmond, I said just the opposite, that it was quickly realized that he was the primary character to build stories around for humor and fun situations. So I think we are actually in agreement about that. As to Lumpy's character, right, Frank Bank had his own successful business and could not commit to being in as many shows as Osmond, who was out of work. And anyway, Lumpy was never as memorable or interesting of a character as Eddie on original show. The only thing I said different than your suggestion was that I don't think Ken Osmond's prominent role on the 1980s series had anything to do with the absence of Hugh Beaumont -- as I said, they already had plenty of major adult characters from the original show - June, Wally, Beaver, Eddie, Lumpy, etc. - way more adult characters than they had on the original show, and Wally and June certainly picked up a lot of the head-of-the-family role, so I don't think they were in need of a replacement for Ward. Also, Ward was seldom the central figure in the original show and Eddie was certainly nothing like Ward in terms of being the straight man, or the guiding voice of reason and life lessons. So I don't really think Eddie was seen as a replacement for Ward. I have met and interviewed all the show creators and actors many times each and discussed this 1980s show at length with them for newspaper articles and videos I have produced, and no one ever said this to me, but I never specifically asked them that because it never occured to me, so perhaps there is some merit to your theory.
@@shettrick Perhaps, I was too bold in my assertions. I'm a 38 year old who grew up watching both shows almost at around the same time (i.e. the 80s). But you are a great wealth of information on this franchise, so I enjoy hearing from you. Thanks for your informative feedback!

One of my favorites! The Eddie episodes were always the best!
It was 28 years from the beginning of Leave it to Beaver to the Still The Beaver movie and TV series.
It's been 35 years since the end of Still the Beaver.
Only Eddie can compliment someone's bridgework...
RIP Eddie
Wally: "Listen guys! Eddie may be a jerk but he's OUR jerk!" 😔 True.
Eddie Haskell is the only person who actually cracks me up when he makes himself a victim. Literally everybody else drives me nuts when they do it but Eddie Haskell pulls it off perfectly. Definitely a fan of him. Always a favorite character.
RIP Eddie Haskell.
With that outfit he wore in the thumbnail, he could easily pass for Bert from Mary Poppins.
thank you scott
RIP, Tony Dow, Barbara Billingsley, and Ken Osmond.
They were originals!
Eddie is the BEST!
Heavenly Father God bring your spirit His Joy in His Eternal Dimension Of Heaven sir.
RIP a tv icon Ken Osmond

Amen!!!
"We'll get through this somehow" "Sure! That's what You said when they got a NEW Darren on Bewitched!"
I love Gert, what a great choice for Eddie’s wife.
I always loved Leave it to Beaver shows til this day.
I enjoyed the newer episodes of Leave it To Beaver. Such a Great Show!
Miss Mr Clever the dad 👨 in the show
Loved Eddie!
As great as the character of Eddie Haskell was in the original series, I believe the writers turned him into a caricature of himself in the sequel.
I'd love to see Eddie Haskell having matured into a good human being.
I guess producers didn't think that would have allowed for many laughs or funny situations in a sitcom
I don't think even gordon Ramsay could help Eddie
i would. I would walk to the ends of the earth for him. no wonder his wife always forgave him he's a dreamboat. love him so much
A cat motel.....Love It!
Hey, it's that girl from Uncle Buck.

Who buys a pizza place when they're in debt?
Someone who no one would give the Business, to? I'm just givin' you the business.
Only Eddie Haskell I suppose.
And after spending just a few hours there also?
@@perryegolson833 that’s why this definitely in the bottom of episode rankings for me
Would you happen to have the one where Beaver, Wally, Eddie and Lumpy go on a fishing trip in a Winabega? I think I spelled that right.
Is that the same Mark DeCarlo, the "Studs" guy?
Yep!
Eddie is still as much his wishy washy french toast personality as he was back in the day. We'd have no Eddie Haskell if he wasn't.
In the opening credits, where there are things in the background (convertibles for Wally, hot dogs for Lumpy, cookies for June, etc) what are those things in the background for Janice Kent (Mary Ellen) supposed to be?
Flowers? Hair? I have no idea.
I think baby bonnets because her character was pregnant
Is this the same pizza place kip ditched oliver at.

As bad as this show was, its better then most the garbage nowdays
Think of it. If Eddie Haskell's pizza shop went national, then Pizza Hut and Domino's would beat him in an instant.
Nah let’s visit Haskell pizza way better I bet
So you have one fun experience at a restaurant and you want buy it? This is definitely one of my least favorite episodes
Leave To Eddie Haskle
Eddie looks like Alice Cooper.
Eddie ....Ken Osmond became a LAPD police man ,,and thats not to far off the Haskle character he played in Leave To Beaver /
