Hugh Beaumont. Great T.V. Dad on L.I.T.B. Watching the show just takes me away from the kind of world we live in today, if only for awhile. If we had more Dads like him in this day and age there wouldn't be so many unruly kids. Rest in Peace, Hugh.🙏🙏
I think people really want wholesome TV--even those who say they don't. After a while of watching slimy (I don't mean to be too harsh here; slimy is a metaphor) shows, one begins to feel slimy too. I think this is human nature. Then, people make a choice: continue to spiral down into sliminess or choose wholesomeness. I think the success of ME TV and Great American TV/Pure Flix is evidence of this desire. And, by the way, I'm praying for you too.
But don't you have to live the wholesomeness first to know if you are spiraling down into the sliminess? Too many people nowadays are born into the sliminess and have never felt the wholesomeness.
@@Edmond951 There is certainly some truth in what you say. But I think (obviously, I'm just giving an opinion and have no research here) that for many people who may not have grown up in a wholesome atmosphere, at some level there is an unhappiness that reveals a deep-seated desire for that which is noble. At some point, though, you are right, and people become psychopaths or sociopaths. I do appreciate your comment.
He was very good on the show. If not for the stroke, would he have retired to preaching more? Jerry Mathers wrote in his autobiography that Hugh Beaumont struggled with Tourette's. One symptom is involuntarily using profanity. That must have been hard for a former minister. The reunion would have been very different with him. It's too bad he wasn't around at the time. What if one had happened when he was still alive? His health may have still prevented him from participating.
Hugh Beaumont also directed several episodes during Seasons 4-6. There are clips of the cast including Beaumont from a local LA 1980 reunion here: ruclips.net/video/t662A6LyF1A/видео.html

He is my favorite tv dad.
All I knew about Hugh was that he was a preacher. Retiring to a tropical island is cool and not something Ward would do.
"Holly weird" is the correct description of Hollywood!😂
I remember him in the 1956 Sci-Fi movie 'The Mole People'
Good tip - sounds fun and funky! 💫✨
You are well spoken sir . Thank you for the info on this actor. Now one of my favorite shows on re-runs .
Thank you so much
I liked him what a sad ending to his life. Thanks Bob for the good video.
Great video. I knew that he was a preacher. He was talented. Thank you. Blessings to all Melanie

We go from “Leave It To Beaver” to “Married With Children”. Hugh was right.
He did episodes of The Virginian, Petticoat Junction and Mannix.
And an episode of the Lone Ranger!!
@@MCW1955 That was before LITB
@@David-yw2lv that’s right.
I recall seeing him on a Petticoat Junction after Leave it to Beaver ended.
What episode was that?
I believe he played Steves dad in the last season or two.
I respected Him
Hugh Beaumont had a son who lived in my hometown of Aiken, South Carolina.

❤❤❤😮😮😮😊😊😊
I also read he had a Christmas tree farm.
I heard he had suffered from some strokes. Very sad 😔 He seemed like a good religious man.
TV went from "Leave it To..." to "Wyona's Big Brown..." ones😮. 🤓😎✌🏻
