- Actress Veronica Cartwright (“Alien,” "Invasion of the Body Snatchers”) returns 25 years later to to her role as the girl who humiliated Beaver with an unexpected on-camera kiss, Lumpy’s younger sister Violet, in this 22nd commercial-free episode of the Still the Beaver revival series called “Violet Rutherford Returns” that debuted on The Disney Channel Sept. 18, 1985.
But even though Violet is all grown-up, her abrasive and manipulative personality hasn’t changed, as Beaver, er “Teddy” (as Violet calls him), finds out when they start dating and she jeopardizes the annual Cleaver family trip to Shadow Lake.
This is the 22nd of 26 episodes in 1984-85 before the series featuring most of the original cast of Leave it to Beaver, including Jerry Mathers and Tony Dow, moved to WTBS Superstation for three more seasons under the name The New Leave it to Beaver from 1986-89.
These videos are taken from my Betamax VCR personal recordings of the show when it originally aired.
I dont think ill ever gt tired of this show. Thanks Scott
Laura Winters With all those Channels on Cable & Satellite TV why cant they make room for these old shows
LOOOOVVVEEE THIS SHOW!!!!AS MUCH AS I LOVE THE ORIGINAL❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beaver: (walks in with his new "Earth" tones) Any calls for me Clarence?
Lumpy: Ya, Indiana Jones. He wants his suit back!
I have to admit, there's no way I could ever bring myself to criticize ANYTHING about this show! I watched the Leave it to Beaver reruns as a kid and this was like reuniting with family you hadn't seen in decades!
he looked more like Truman Capote-I believe Lumpy felt the same way-LOL
I agree @jayan. I love everything about LITB and have really enjoyed the "Still the Beaver" videos, not to mention the movie that led to the spinoffs. The movie was just so.well done.
It was just so much fun getting to see many of the cast from the original LITB all back together again. I'm not complaining about anything, just enjoying.
11:57 Mary Ellen’s reaction to Violet’s comment is priceless!! 😂😂
Funny, This hit so close to home for me. My early dating years I had the girlfriend That I thought was the one and only. Things happen and we both went our separate ways.I thought of her so often over the years. 30 years later she moves back in town, we meet up a few times and I was "what did I ever see in her" Magic gone. It was the closure I needed to move on. By the way a little advice to others out there who are in the wonder what "if" we stayed together take it from me, as the years go by, people change, and often not for the better.
Very true indeed. People DO change......and yes, usually not for the better.
Steve Williams I told my girlfriend that I grew up in a big IRISH Family, she assumed we were all Drunks. That's kind of True most People think all IRISH are Drunks. People think were weird cause were born with Red Hair & Freckels. I really did have a big IRISH Family Mom side gave us kids 16 first cousins Dad side gave us 10. I will admit us IRISH have some funny sayings, like when we die we come back as Vampires, Theres a POT of Gold at the end of the RAINBOW, I AM A LEPRECHAUN I DONT DATE HUMANS. YOU DONT SCARE ME I WAS RAISED BY AN IRISH MOTHER. KISS ME IM IRISH NO REALLY IM IRISH. FRECKELS ARE IRISH CAMOUFLAGE. AN IRISH GIRL THE BEST DRINKING BUDDY A GUY COULD HAVE. Now True stuff IRISH Skin burns easily in the sun. Redheads need more anesthesia for Medical Procedores. They do drink there Beer warm in IRELAND. HEY FRECKEL FACE YOUR CUTE. Sorry about all IRISH Stuff I just like my IRISH Heritage
@@jimogrady1131 Irish gal here too! And I hate alcohol. 😖
Thanks for sharing this rare GEM, Scott!
Boys at dinner with straws in nose. "Please excuse that lapse". LOL
I really loved Veronica and Angela Cartwright
I finally got the chance to go on a date with my high school crush about 3 years after graduation. What a let down. However, I met my husband a couple of months later! He is my real crush! 😍
So then you had to experience that in order to get your husband its fate
@@oooh19 Naw, that was a totally different story! 😂 Not quite as um…dramatic, but a good one, nonetheless!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you too
Violet Rutherford, see you next Tuesday.
This is actually pretty good for reboot.
I loved the openings of TV shows back in the day, nowadays a show is lucky to even get opening theme music!
"did we go to the prom?" ☠ my heart sank
The writers gave Wally ( Tony Dow ) quite a hidden hand grenade of a line: " Ten minutes after she got there ( the prom ) she dumped him ( Beaver ) for some guy with bleach blonde hair that DROVE A WOODY. " I'm sure Dow HAD to walk out of the scene so he could laugh his ass off ! I wonder how many takes they had to do to get through the double entendre.
Amazing they could get veronica cartwright. She was nationally known because of alien
That, and _The Right Stuff_ which was filmed a year prior to this, were her two biggest roles. She was "known" but far from being a star.
12:24 Beaver's kids giving him the Business lol
I love seeing Veronica Cartwright in anyting.
I love how they mix the past with the present.
I remember going on a tour of Colonial Street when it was being used for Desperate Housewives. It was after the tornado episode and the tour guide was so excited to show us the newly rebuilt house.
First things first, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THESE!!! Who’d you get these episodes and how many do you have?
You're welcome - my pleasure. As I write in caption of each video, these are transferred my own personal recordings I made on my Betamax video recorder of every episode when it premiered 35 years ago. I've been lugging them all over the country since then as we moved to four different homes.
Gave up waiting on series being put on DVD or even shown in reruns. My old Betamax machines are so old, I decided to transfer the tapes to digital. When I realized none were on Internet, I decided to share them with others. Glad you are enjoying them! Thanks for letting me know - makes it even more worthwhile!
When the boys met Violet they were more like Eddy than the Bev's boys.
Some people Never change, once conceited,always Conceited 🤣😎😎
So wait, couldn't she also make an appearance as Peggy MacIntosh? The writers could have done something with that on the original show, have Beaver juggle two girlfriends, who, though they looked exactly alike, were apparently not related. All sorts of capers and hijinks could have ensued.
They could have at least had a few pictures of Ward Cleaver amongst the family pictures 😒
Don't they show Ward's picture in the opening credits? Hugh Beaumont passed away 17 months before the first new LITB aired. He and his 40 year old son ( who was a doctor) had been having a feud and stopped talking to each other for 2 years. He took an airline to Munich, Germany to make up with his son and had a fatal heart attack in the airport while waiting for his son to pick him up. He died at 73. He was kind of old to be Beaver and Wallys father. He was 47 when the show started. My two kids were 24 and 26 when I was 47.
The series did dozens of tributes to Ward and, in the original TV reunion movie, had his photo amongst the family pictures at beginning and dedicated the movie to Hugh Beaumont, and during the series had dozens of scenes and entire episodes about Ward.
He's in a family portrait on the wall at the bottom of the stairs. Starts at 12:42
I love this and I watch leave it to beaver on me tv
I believe Veronica Cartwright was also in Flight of the Navigator if my memory serves me correctly?
I wish Hugh Beaumont hadn't died. He wudda added so much to this show.
I think so too, though it woulda been interesting to see how Ward would have seemed with all different writers and show creators/producers. And it woulda changed a lot, such as Beaver and his kids prolly not living with both Ward and June together in that house. And wouldn't have been so many touching memory flashbacks and dialogue about Ward. Still, likely woulda been good or better with Ward around as a grandfather just as it was having June as grandmother
@K Paula Mck Right, original LitB never in top 30 shows in its six seasons. Not until reruns in 1970s, especially on WTBS, which is where New LitB ran its last three seasons. Ratings weren't great and it was expensive and would likely have been canceled but Ted Turner pre-ordered three seasons - unprecedented. There's so much competition now and so many new shows on streaming. Interest in old shows like this that weren't even big hits when they first ran, is dwindling rapidly and the audience is getting older, so not of interest to advertisers.
All that plus tangled and uncertain ownership issues and cost of restoring and digitizing make it a very tough sell.
At least we've got these all on RUclips now where we can watch now for first time in 30 years
@K Paula Mck I did not write for the show. You're speaking as a fan - and agree with most of what you say; I'm pointing out business issues, which is what drives these types of decisions.
Hope I'm wrong or that some of the issues go away or get better.
Anyway, I'm perfectly fine watching these as I have posted on RUclips in their original form - this isn't the kind of show I need to see in pristine digital HD - for me it's about the characters and dialogue
@@shettrickYes. I would have loved Ward interacting with his grandchildren. Since he had sons, it would have been especially interesting to see him interact with Kelly.
Agree; these version of LITB would have had a different vibe to them had Beaumont not died in 1982. 🙂
Beaver needed to get 'gressive with Violet Rutherford.
I didn't know that there were two separate Cartwright sisters when I was a kid in the 60s. All through the 60s I thought both girls were Angela Cartwright. I saw Veronica Cartwright in Alfred Hitchcock's _The Birds_ and I thought "I didn't know Angela Cartwright was in "The Birds." She sure looks different than she did on _Lost In Space._ I didn't realize it was two separate girls until I saw Veronica Cartwright on an episode of _Dragnet 1970._ She played the young wife of a police officer and was shot and badly injured. For a Dragnet episode, Veronica's acting was great. She seemed genuinely distraught. If you recall the color episodes of Dragnet, they had an unusual method of creating those shows. They hired a pool of about 20 character actors and used them for 90% of the parts. Sometimes you'd see the same guy playing different parts. One week the guy was a pedophile and two weeks later he was a bank robber.
ha, interesting -- I can understand that
What about their brothers Adam little Joe and hoss.lol
@@timholt9948 An interviewer asked Little Joe if all those Cartwright men got lonely on the Ponderosa and what did they do for for companionship. Little Joe said "Well, none of us were gay but thank God Hop Sing was." 😆
@@ldchappell1 I guess hoss would do anything for food.i bet those cattle probably started to look good out on the range.lol
She was also in The Sound of Music as one of the VonTrapp children.
TWO AND A HALF MINUTES OF OPENING CREDITS for a half-hour sitcom shot on tape.
Yep, just like Battlestar Galactica and many other show openings back then. Besides, this half-hour sitcom on Disney Channel was a full 27-minutes back then without commercials, as opposed to most that were about 20-minutes of actual content
Nice to see that Lambert actually made it home from the Nostromo.
haha, nice -- yes, Veronica Cartwright had some great roles -- also The Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Violet is a doll.
Why doesn't she just call him 'Beaver', like in the old days?
The video quality is no way as good as the original.
Nope, but the original was nearly 40 years ago and this is the best I had saved from the early days of home video recordings, and since there were no other copies available anywhere, I thought many thousands of people would be happy seeing at least these copies rather than nothing at all, so I spent two years transferring these to RUclips and the actors have all told me how much they appreciate me posting them so there kids and grandkids can see them for the first time. If you find copies somewhere as good as the originals, please let me know
@@shettrick I've been enjoying them. Thank you!
"Cartwright!!" "Cartwright!" "Cartwright!!"
Very nice transfer Scott! So glad you are doing them digitally now! Is there any chance you can go back and redo some (or all!) of the ones you did previously recording the screen? Especially that Thanksgiving Day episode?! Thanks!
Glad you are happy with these. Won't be going back to re-do episodes until I get the next 76 posted first - and that will take quite some time (took me nearly a year to do the first 25) - since my purpose is to get them all posted for people to see and enjoy as quickly and however I can. After that or at any point if I decide to do something else with these shows that would require uniformity, it's possible I might go back and re-do the first 13.
Meantime, thanks for letting me know you are enjoying these.
Violet came across condescending and snooty
Yep, that's exactly how her character was created to be, as was Judy Hensler. Gotta have different personalities for different characters to make the show more realistic and more funny
I though Violet in the original was a sweet girl and Beaver deserved the punch but not too surprised how the character turned out considering her father. And I have always loved Veronica Cartwright.
I’d love if they had “Judy” come back!
She made an uncredited cameo appearance in this series a couple seasons later when it was called The New Leave it to Beaver
Scott Hettrick I’m sorry I missed it!
@@belgiumgirl8970 I'll be posting it here eventually as I am posting all 100 episodes - have 26 posted so far
Scott Hettrick great!!! Thx for your thoughtfulness 😊
What happened to baby Ward from the movie, didn't Wally have a son?
Yes, Wally and Mary Ellen were shown having a baby boy in final few seconds of the TV movie pilot, and someone mentioned once that its name was Ward. Just as they switched actors and name of Beaver's oldest son from the pilot movie to the TV series (and just as the actors playing Ward and Wally changed from pilot of original series), the producers thought the series needed a character to appeal to young girls, so they started the series with Wally and Mary Ellen already having a daughter in elementary school, and they soon showed them getting pregnant and having a son again.
@@shettrick Thanks!
Oh no, Violet is gonna use her persuadicator!
Yep, sometimes a guy has to go through a few Violets and a couple Kimberlys before finally...
getting to Pamela.
Let me get this straight Beav have a problem with her cause he felt she was trying 2 change him by putting him n clothes she thought was attractive on him and so that made him feel she was trying 2 change him. So maybe they should just breakup and just b friends. But now as a single man he say "The great thing that came out of their dating is that he now has some great clothes 2 wear on dates." ? That will make him attractive looking 4 ladies thats interested n the kind of man that wears those type clothes! Well, that doesn't make any sense 2 have broken up with a woman that he had who liked him n that kind of clothing then! what was so bad with him having him 2 keep dating her if he thought she was attractive and he liked her and she liked him, helped him dress 2 what was appealing 2 her eyes 2 what she found her man more attractive n? Women pick clothes out all the times what they like their men n anyway. Even if they're married, or celebrating 2nd honeymoons, or remarriages, sugestions on whats sexy 2 her on him 4 a nice evening 2 dinner out at a lovely restaurant.
Most men aren't n 2 shopping 4 fashions they leave that as women interest anyway and most men will be interested n clothes only when they c their favorite sports hero wearing it. So thats y ladies pick out nice wear they love 2 c their men n 4 special get 2 gethers between them😍
Margaret Flanagan on L.A. Law!!!!! Good actress!!!!!
Cool how did I miss this part of it I saw the TV movie part
Why didn't they have Ward in the family photos at the beginning?
He's in several of the ones that go fast and a couple on the wall above stairs in opening but those are hard to see also. Woulda been nice to have him more prominent but this series paid more wonderful homage and tributes to him through through flashback clips and many loving references in the first movie and many of the episodes than any other show I have ever seen, so I won't complain too loudly about one little thing like this they might have done more to our liking
MICHAEL DAVIS I agree people still have up older pictures years later especially of loved ones that passed away
Right Dave Stephen. They wouldn't leave them out.
True, Scott Hettrick.
Scott Hettrick, I wonder why Pamela Baird didn't play Wally's wife in the new series? I guess she quit show business.
Wasn't she in The Birds?
Yes, the same year the original Leave it to Beaver ended
And Alien and a whole slew of other stuff...
@@Anth230 Yes, and her sister, ANGELA was in LOST IN SPACE.
@@dianetherkildsen2686 yup
Violet is pretty.
Yes she is!
Mr. Scott!! Plz post Leave it to beaver seasons 4-6 or the whole series!
Sorry, I don't have Leave it to Beaver; I am only posting all four seasons of Still the Beaver and The New Leave it to Beaver, since they are not available anywhere else.
You can find all seasons of Leave it to Beaver at many websites online, on DVD, on Facebook (Leave it to Beaver Fan Club), on Roku, and on MeTV television twice each day
@@scotthettrick9125 ok! That is ok!
Barbara still sounds sick in this one.
Must be fun living at Grandma's house.

Sorry to say this, as much of a fan of the series that I am, Jerry Mathers is a TERRIBLE actor. I am sorry, it's painful to watch. His line delivery, facial expressions, just everything.
Don't feel bad I thought the same thing about Jerry he was way better as a child star
Sunshine girl Thanks glad it isn’t just me. Ken Osmond I think was phenomenal. He really makes the show.
The sad part was the kids on the show were better then Jerry some child stars are just not cut up to be adults stars

I'm sure you've watched more than this single episode to make such a harsh assessment of the entire four-season series that was and remains very popular with fans of the original series since it starred almost the entire original cast and since it had so many touching call-backs to original series and clips of nostalgic scenes with Ward offering sage wisdom and Beaver often thinking of Ward when dealing with his own kids.
Tony Dow directed many of the episodes and Ken Osmond was very proud of his work and the characters his own sons portrayed.

@@gerrynightingale9045 I notice you didn't respond to let me know you've watched more than this single episode to make your over-arching assessment of the entire series. You're welcome to your opinion and I wouldn't have challenged your first comment if it was more like this one -- not unnecessarily nasty - "sickening?" "cheap exploitation?"
No one claims this is high art or one of the best series of all time. It's simply one of the very first revival series with original cast, a trend that has become very popular in recent years. Many fans of original series enjoyed seeing their favorite actors reprise their roles, and enjoyed seeing the original Mayfield locations. You mentioned the kids were Disney-ish. I don't know what that means - do you have some examples of Disney shows you are talking about? BTW, not that you said it was produced by Disney, but FYI, this was not a Disney show -- it was same studio (Universal) that produced original series , and it was first on CBS in 1983 and then the then-new Disney Channel licensed it for only one season before it was on Ted Turner's TBS Superstation for three seasons, What you also obviously don't know and have not considered as a possibility, is that kids of the 1980s loved this show, especially pre-teen girls who loved Kelly and the other children on the show, just as boys loved Beaver and Wally in the original series, and young boys loved Kip and Oliver in this series.
Finally, you probably also don't know that the original Leave it to Beaver series was not very popular at all in its first six seasons in the 1950s-60s -- it never once cracked the top 30 shows even when there were only three networks, and it kept having to switch times and nights to try to find an audience, which it never did. It wasn't until Ted Turner's reruns of Leave it to Beaver in the 1970s when it became popular.
None of that matters, but thank you for a less harsh criticism this time, and maybe you will either try watching other episodes or just stop watching this if you dislike it so much. These are posted here for the benefit and pleasure of the tens of thousands of people who do enjoy it.

@@gerrynightingale9045 I didn't say you said it was produced by Disney; I didn't suggest you watch every episode (I guess you didn't read where I said "try watching other episodes" - not every episode; and I didn't say or suggest I am a judge of what people like (and why did you put that in quotes?); and I never said anything indicates "fervent approval" -- looks like you are the one altering what I write to fit your tirades. Why are you so angry and defensive? And why are you name-calling - now I'm a nitwit because I stated a fact about the original series? BTW, yes, when tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people click on something, coupled with the comments you can read, that is indeed a good indication of what people like, just as the higher ratings a show gets indicates that it is more popular than others. Are you suggesting those things don't indicate stronger popularity? Do you think something that gets millions of clicks/views is less popular than something that gets a few views?
She was horrible in Alien, and she was horrible here
Well, aren't you a ray of sunshine. Your professional accomplishments are so superior that no one would write a comment like this if we showed some of your work?
If you loved the original series, don't watch this one-- it ruins it. Jerry Mathers would have been well advised to not return to acting. He was good as a kid because he WAS a kid-- cute but not a very bright one at that-- now he just comes across as the village idiot with a stick up his back and really really bad facial expressions-- it's painful to watch-- they should have left well enough alone-- the rest of the cast has to try too hard to carry the show. It's true that you cannot re-create the past and you damage it if you try.
Appreciate your opinion but you can tell that thousands disagree with your assessment. While I don't know many who think this 1980s revival series is anywhere close to the quality of the original, including me, I don't know very many who think watching this ruins the appreciation of the original, and you can see that many thousands watch each of all 101 episodes of this series I have posted, and tens of thousands in many cases. Even if you think Jerry Mathers' acting isn't as precious as an adult as it was when he was a child -- like most child actors -- I think Tony Dow and the rest are just as good, and I actually think Ken Osmond and especially his oldest son Eric as his son Freddie in this series, are both hilarious and great in this. And the featured returning guest star is Veronica Cartwright who is a terrific and very successful actress as an adult in many movies including Alien.
Its good to see Jerry Mathers, Tony Dow, Barbara Billingsley, Lumpy, Eddie again and the Cleaver House. The original show is on MeTv 8 to 9 am Mon through Friday if you enjoy the original.
If someone offered you 4 years of Income, you would turn it down, hmmm.
The Haskells are the best in both shows
I love how they mix the past with the present.
