I almost fell out of my Movie theater chair when I saw Barbra Billingsley in the comedy movie Airplane ! and talking "jive "to a couple Brothers. Epic.
Jerry Mathers WAS NOT the kid in "I Love Lucy". I hate when these videos take rumors as fact. Jerry Mathers himself said that he was never on Lucy, it was a kid who looked similar. Do better.
For that matter, it’s a pretty big stretch to say that the kid on Lucy looked like The Beaver. Maybe if you squint real hard and look through don’t glasses.
my favorite line ,all time from any show is Ward chewing out his son,and june looks at him and says,Ward dont you think your being a little hard on the beaver.still laughing after 50 yrs.
I once heard that Jerry Mathers mother knew Hugh Beaumont as an acquaintance and knew he was looking for work. She mentioned that her son just got hired for a show and that they were looking for actors to play the father. Legend has it that she tipped him off to audition for the part.
Jerry Mathers cleared up the legend of whether he appeared on I Love Lucy a few years ago. He explained that although the little boy looked like him, he wrote on Facebook in 2019 that the boy was not him, there was only a resemblance. Hope this helps.
Those boys should have been given 2 bikes for the trust and confidence that the contest was true and legitimate. Mathers and Dow were the right choice for the Beaver series.😅😅
@@tommurphy4307 I liked provisions. Sharing with another party was tough. If I wanted to go somewhere, I might get stuck at home because someone else took the bike or the 2nd car. Welcome to dissent.
The show was set in Cleveland, Ohio. They went to the high school in Mayfield, Ohio. Ward confronted the Beaver about a phone call from Cleveland to Los Angeles because he made a phone call to Don Drysdale.
ward never said cleveland on the show- i believe he did make a reference to one of his aunts in akron ohio. ...and mayfield heights/township/village & the city are not in the city of cleveland....
On the show it was said that the name "Beaver" came about because Wally couldn't say Theodore and, when he tried, it came out sounding similar to "Beaver"
@@tommurphy4307 Nobody's 'dissing' on anybody. If you weren't a newborn you'd know that a lot of children that age have the same thing going on with their teeth. No doubt it's one reason he was selected for the role, because it fit. So you can quit virtue signaling about what a sensitive man you are. Ugh
Jerry was on Ozzie and Harriet. Hugh Beaumont only acted to support his ministry. On his way to Hollywood he drove with his mother in law. The had an a accident and she died.
I remember the false rumor that Jerry Mathers was killed in Viet Nam. Interesting to learn he only joined the Army Reserves. Almost everyone I knew did the same to avoid the draft and serving in Viet Nam.
I think the rumor of Jerry Mathers’ death in Viet Nam was started to REALLY hit home that America’s all-around kid got slaughtered, same as so many others. I remember it.
Favorite episode when beaver had a somewhat crush on the new neighbor’s wife and worried about the husband., the question, love is not only blind , but dangerous too for beaver.
11:05 NOT Hugh Beaumont, this is actor Lloyd Nolan. 11:56 Barbara Billingsley and Casey Adams(he later changed his acting name to Max Showalter which is his actual given name!) He appeared in many movies TV shows in the 1950s and 60s. About location of the Cleaver family...They lived in Mayfield, and in 1 episode Ward mentions that as a youngster he was known as the best kite maker in Shaker Heights. Fact: Mayfield and Shaker Heights are both very near eastern suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. Mayfield didn't really surprise me, but when Ward said Shaker Heights, I flipped!
Yes, I've seen that episode, so you could have a point there...but I believe that's just where WARD grew up , does'nt infer they lived there NOW. I'll stick with Wisconsin.
Wisconsin. OK, but Ohio is better, not nearly as cold, 🌨⛄and probably where the writers came from. I watch many old movies, so often the characters are from Ohio, going to Ohio, and their mother/father live there. Only time I recall anybody was in Wisconsin was Laverne and Shirley and their friends. 🍻🍺🥴 BTW- They go to Madison, and that's a city 25 miles east of Cleveland. My late Mother moved there after stepdad passed away when they had there home in Florida.
@@TheFishdoctor1952 June and Ward did an explicit sex scene in 1963 which ended up being cut… they reportedly had actual sex during the shoot, but this has never been proven …
His best line was when he told June Cleaver that his mother said she looked like she spent all her time in the beauty parlors. June sarcastically told Eddie to thank his mother. 😂

The funniest part of the movie 😂❤
Leave It to Beaver remains a beloved classic
I watch It when i was young i was 10. Now iam 70 i still watch itI got all of them on dvds
and all the other 70-year-olds are watching 'perry mason'
I met Jerry at a local car show a few months ago here in Chattanooga. He was so nice. I got his autograph and hug. I was so thrilled.
That was an impostor. Mathers has never been to Chattanooga.
Nice to hear he still a friendly fella after all these years.

he look like nothing like JERRY Matters HIS FACE IS WAY TOO THIN AND SO ON
also Beaver was way too young in 1953 which he was still a toller in 1953 about age 3 years old
It's true because it's on TV. Now it's true because it's on U-tube
Leave it to Beaver was a great show for its time!
not enough sex, fornication, & violence to be a family show nowadays.
yeah now the shows are so much better they make you want to vomit.
Controversial? What was controversial about LITB? It was about as "white bread suburbia" as it could be. Great show, still watch it and I'm 74.

I like the way you tell about the show and hearing about other different shows you have a great day
So, Judy Hensler played Jeri Weil, huh? Great tidbit, except it's the other way around.
😂😂😂
She play judy well
Michael Mayer, was the little boy in the "I Love Lucy" episode this video refers to and not Jerry Mathers.
YUP
Mayer committed suicide in 1968❤ R.I.P.
correction and a little homework- you get an 'A' for the day.
Great Show! Barbra billingseley was wonderful in the movie AIRPLANE! LOL!

Get a life😅
Try a little “Highway Patrol” or “Dragnet” or “Perry Mason” once in awhile, maybe “Sea Hunt” or even “Flipper” if you’re feeling aquatic.
@@vladtheimpala5532 once again get a life. Hahaha

I thought that on screen, they lived in California. You never seen snow and they always had light jackets on and ball caps.
I watched a video that suggested it was Suburban New York.
They lived in Iowa .
not sure what 'ball caps' are, but you prolly shouldn't be looking at them.
@@tommurphy4307 I didn't "get" your comment the first time that I read it. Just reread it and now did. Good one!😀
Wisconsin? Oh yes all that snow and cold gave it away.
And there aren't ANY other cities in the US named Madison lol.
Maybe it was too expensive to have fake snow. Cant fim in real snow. Ah who knows.
I guess all of your info wasn't perfect, but I still really enjoyed it, thanks.
You did a great job on these face that I did not known, thats a a lot
The dirtiest thing ever said in TV back then was “Ward, I think you were a little hard on the Beaver last night”
Jerry mothers was never on I love Lucy that’s why he never got any credit for it! Get your facts right before you make a video
thats telling him- you GO GIRL !!!!
GOOD AMERICAN SHOW !!
So…why was Theodore called Beaver. And….how did the name of the show become “Leave it to Beaver.” Never explained in this clip.
On the show it was said that the name "Beaver" came about because Wally couldn't say Theodore and, when he tried, it came out sounding similar to "Beaver"
Child's prominent front teeth?
@@Kate-nr3fx3fi9o Correct, in the last show of the series, it's revealed by Ward. Think it's called "The Scrapbook" or something like that.

17 minutes wasted.
hey ward don’t be so hard on the beaver lol 😂 😅
This narrator's voice drives me nuts. Anyone else?
That is not Jerry Mathers on Lucy. Try again.
Mathers was in The Brady Bunch. He was fantastic!❤
he played 'toby' on mannix, too..... in blackface.
AND DON'T forget his character on 'the double deckers'
IIRC i think the last name of the kid who played little Ricky was "Tibideaux" or something like that.
Beaver was lucky to have Miss Canfield and Miss Landers as teachers. My teachers were old hags.
Yeah Beaver had to New Hags
Jerry was on Ozzie and Harriet. Hugh Beaumont only acted to support his ministry. On his way to Hollywood he drove with his mother in law. The had an a accident and she died.
the kid was robert blake in I Love Lucy
before he was a gang-banger......
Forced to move??? It was an upwardly mobile move..since Ward had a great career.
Jerry Mathers was in, TheTrouble With Harry, with Shirley MacLain.
Pt 2

It was NEVER controversial. Immensely popular.
It was controversial in its first year because it broke several taboo Hollywood sexual barriers.
The only possible controversy was when June told Ward he was awful hard on the beaver last night.

In the long run it doesn't matter. If they need the land in 150 years they just collect those stones for landfill and levies along rivers.
