Still the Beaver 1983 reunion movie with original Leave it to Beaver cast
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Twenty years after we last saw the Cleaver family in Leave it to Beaver, we revisit them in this CBS TV movie created by Brian Levant and broadcast in March 1983. Beaver (Jerry Mathers) is grown and has two boys of his own but his wife is divorcing him, so he moves back in with his mother June (Barbara Billingsley) at 211 Pine Street in Mayfield (Ward has died). Wally (Tony Dow) is a lawyer married to his school sweetheart Mary Ellen Rogers and they are trying to have children. Eddie Haskell (Ken Osmond) is back and the same as ever running a shyster construction company, and he has a son (Eddie Jr) who is a chip off the old block (his real-life son). Friends Lumpy (Frank Bank) and his father Mr. Rutherford (Richard Deacon), Larry (Rusty Stevens), Richard (Richard Correll), and Tooey (Lucas "Luke" Fafara II, aka Tiger) are still around, as is Miss Canfield (Diane Brewster), now principle of the school of the Cleaver grandchildren.
This movie led to one season of The Disney Channel's first original scripted series also called Still the Beaver in 1984-85, and three more seasons on Ted Turner's WTBS Superstation under the name The New Leave it to Beaver from 1986-89.
The presentation here is commercial-free due to the ads being edited out from my original Betamax recording of 35 years ago.
Copyright restrictions on RUclips also required shortening nine of the many clips in this movie from the original Leave it to Beaver down to less than 30-seconds each, thus shortening the overall length of the movie by about six-and-a-half minutes.
Of course this Still the Beaver movie doesn't offer all the 1950s-era innocent charm of the original but it is filled with touching and fun remembrances, including numerous clips of the classic black-and-white series, especially with father Ward Cleaver (Hugh Beaumont died shortly before this movie was made). And there are numerous nostalgic references to the first series.
Newcomer Janice Kent plays Mary Ellen, while Corey Feldman and John Snee play Beaver's sons Corey and Oliver, respectively. Eric Osmond is perfect as Eddie Haskell Jr. - he and his father are two highlights of this movie. Ed Begley Jr. re-creates Whitey, and Joanna Gleason plays Beaver's wife Kimberly. (When the series started, there were a several cast changes of the Cleaver grandkids, and Richard Deacon died and had to be replaced as Mr. Rutherford).
I remember when this movie came out in 1983. I was a teenager who loved The Leave It To Beaver TV show. I remember when the Graveyard scene was shown. And the two sons were walking away from their father's grave with their mom arm in arm. Tears flowed out of my eyes like crazy. The same thing happened again when I saw that scene in the movie after Barbara BILLINGSLEY died. And now again when that scene came up. Tears flowed for Tony Dow. R. I. P. HUGH BEAUMONT, BARBARA BILLINGSLEY, AND TONY DOW! WISHING JERRY MATHERS GOOD HEALTH AND PEACE ❤🌹🕊
And now Ken Osmond : (
the 1982 SCTV Version of "Leave it to Beaver" was better. Beaver accidentally shoots one of his friends in the head. Then his dad says... "Beaver, Maybe 25 years in a maximum security penitentiary will teach you not to play with guns". :)
You are a fool. @@905JimRaynor
@@905JimRaynorand you will not be hard to find, lol.
OMG the graveyard scene hit me like a ton of bricks. 😢 It was especially powerful with hearing Ward's voice reading Beaver's "Most Interesting Character" composition.
The Cleavers are my forever favorite TV family. RIP Ward, June and Wally.
Rest in Peace 🙏 Tony Dow. Wally was everyone's favorite brother. Tony Dow brought that character to life. His charisma, his personality, his kind heart made Wally a great household name. He always had his brother's back. He ALWAYS loved and cherished his family. This is a great man! God Bless the family of Mr.Dow. Be with them, comfort them, give them peace please. Cancer is brutal, harsh and painful. Rest now Tony Dow, and know your body may not be here but your memory will live on forever and ever. RIP 🕊🕊🙏🕊🙏🕊🕊
So perfectly well said.
@Edster III Nooo! Omg! I just found out by your comment! 😭
YES! I also read that Tony Dow was a great father & husband in real life. RIP kind person. ❤️
I so loved the show & still do . Watch it most every Morn. Prayers to all that have Passed on 🙏 I too had a similar life 👍
the best❤
These child actors created characters which left memories that have remained fresh with us (those of us now of a certain age) for over 60 years. We all felt like we knew Wally , the Beav, Eddie Haskell, etc. What a gift this show was--and still is.
All kids have today are smut, violence and woke-ism.
Your generation doesn't know how lucky they were to grow up in that time in America.
I look for the old black and white TV shows.Back then was a time when parents could say to there kids.Gonna have a movie night. Mom would make pop corn and let us have a soda. Movies then and TV shows had family structure. Not like today full of cussing, nudity and violence.. Not for the entire family to sit and watch.oh to have all those yesterdays back again..I'm 67..
RIP Tony Dow. I watched Leave it to Beaver growing up. These shows gave us good family values. Just watched this movie and it made me think of my dad and my mom. It must be one heck of a reunion in heaven. Once again RIP Tony Dow, as well as everyone else.
RIP Tony Dow, Ken Osmond & Frank Bank. Eddie still talked to Beaver like he was still a 10 year old kid, LOL. I couldn't believe Wally actually hit Eddie finally. I loved the original series. It was the way I wished our home had been, instead of my parents arguing all the time. Thank you for all the great memories of these great characters.
Just watched this and cried at the end. So many good memories of this wonderful show. Sure miss their father Ward on this show. Such wonderful lessons learned. Miss that great area, no cell phones, no computers, just good family time.
My brother raised his kids without cussing cell phones etc lack of good parenting is todays problem
Wow... Well said💝💝💝💝🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
@@brett6905 you think I'm just "nostalgic"...I think your nuts...
@@buxxbannerspov30 I don't think the beaver would approve of your language.
Family and real friends.
Hugh Beaumont, omg he was my favorite, he was so good looking, understanding, intelligent, wise, and very comforting, i will always love him....
I agree! It made me cry at the beginning when Beaver came home and they showed Ward! He is my favorite TV dad!
Me too
I'm 70 yrs. Old and still think it was / it is most likely the best show out there. It will see one hundred years. Not like shows today. Where everyone stands around and insults each other for twenty minutes and ten minutes of commercials. Plus there is no moral with today's sitcoms.
How very true. That is basically what today's sitcom comedy consists of. Insults and making light of living in immorality. A very wise observation 👌
@@darrenduncan1674 And if there's any time left over for anything serious, a moral message takes a backseat to social commentary or political innuendo.
Seinfeld ‘. And as for older shows , Burns and Allen kinda wrote the map .
Grow up.
@@petersokol1603 You grow up! He's 100% right.
My Favorite episode is when Beaver sells water to all the neighborhood after the water is cut-off. June said, Imagine selling water? Funny
Yes, that was one of great episodes of 1950s-60s series. Great that this movie sparked a new series for four seasons in the 1980s

I just loved this show. With everything going on in our country I find this the perfect show to watch. It brings my spirits up, and I sleep much better at night.
Yeah its what ive been watching lately too on PEACOCK
Me too, I thought I was the only one. My sister think I'm crazy!!
@@derrekabarnard5729 we've been watching it every dinner time for months...most needed during these crazy times. Tell your sister you're not crazy lol
The passing of Tony Dow brought me here. RIP Wally
Barbara Billingsley was so beautiful and remained so. I wish shows like this were popular still. Laughter, good morals and people to admire are much needed these days.
This movie makes me happy and sad at the same time.....I was raised on LEAVE IT TO BEAVER,always watched it with my mom and my auntie(my mom's oldest sister)so watching it is a happy memory but at the same time a sad one since my mom and aunt have both passed!
@King Zartan ,
That's the way I feel about these sitcoms. Maybe the Lucy Show most of all, watching it with my mom who resembled Lucy a little bit....... Yes, happy and sad, bittersweet, melancholy........
@King Zartan ,
Thank you, Zartan
We do the best we can,
And life goes on..........
Sorry for your loss

Rest In Peace Ken Osmond. We will always love your character Eddie Haskell.
RIP Ken Osmond, Frank Bank, Richard Deacon, Stanley Fafara, of course..Barbara Billingsley, Hugh Beaumont & other cast members who have since passed.

I remember when this movie came out, it was a Disney Channel movie. Loved seeing it again, R.I.P. Tony Dow.

😍😍🙏🙏💚💚
Wally
Glad you enjoyed seeing it again -- this was actually a CBS TV movie of the week in March 1983, then a year-and-a-half later it became a TV series on The Disney Channel before Ted Turner paid to move it to his TBS Superstation for three more seasons
@@shettrick The revival series was also in syndication retitled The New Leave It To Beaver. There have been legal issues which has been keeping it from being rebroadcast.
My favorite episode is the one when beaver keeps losing his money that his dad gave him for a haircut. Wally decides to give him one. It is so funny when the parents see it. I love the look on June's face. This show brings back so many memories for me. 🙂🙂🙂❤❤❤
I'm almost 70 and I still watch this show all the time I wish today's kids were like that
And todays parents?
Me too Richard.
Back in 1996 my wife & I bought a new house & got a phone hooked up, real old school land line with a cord and a new number. Within a week we started getting calls asking for a Mr. Haskell, obviously bill collectors. After a while, I decided to have some fun with it and my response was "No, he moved back to Mayfield with his brother Eddie." The first few people were either too young or from overseas and did not get the reference, some even asked for an address. The last one was an older woman, first she dropped the phone, when she picked it up she was laughing and thanking me for making her day.

That's funny ❤love it . I'm 63 I would have got it😅😅
Well, this was a real tear jerker... I missed it when it was created.. and also missed the whole series of 'New Leave It To Beaver'... Now with only Jerry still with us, it really hits home how much this fictional family meant to us growing up. ❤️❤️
Jesus, I had to stop the film from weeping when Beaver walks back into his family home & in his head he hears his recently deceased father call out "Is that you, Beev?".
I have no idea why that hit me so hard. It's not from memories of my own father. Isn't it strange how strong of emotions one can feel from people you've never met? When Neal Peart of Rush died I cried for days, felt worse than when my own family passed. I think it has to do with how much they influenced & affected you & your own life?
Balled my eyes out at the cemetery, the entire movie truly effected me.
god damn youre right especially the beginning acoustic music
Yes exactly
I think it’s because it’s a trigger for our own suppressed memories of things that happened to us
It did me too. Its called nostalgia.
RIP Tony Dow!! Thanks for all the great memories.
I loved all the characters, especially Beaver when he was really little in the first few seasons. So cute! But I have to say Eddie Haskell was my favorite. He was so funny and fun to watch.😊 Loved this show, and still do.💖
As a man who has recently gotten divorced and landed on my backside, there is something eternally relatable about this show....and I grew up in the 90s.
I love how they still included Hugh in the movie even if it was just old clips of him and a headstone. Those were the good old days.
I love how, for a reunion show, they deal a lot with the mature themes of aging, grief, and loss with as much gravitas as possible and yet are still leaving time for humor. Just the scene of June saying her catchphrase...she’s lost the love of her life, and she’ll never get over it.
Really nice. I also like the flashbacks. Brings back a lot of memories. It's a little sad when they show Wards grave. I had an uncle that would visit his wife's grave & talk to her. I felt bad for Wally at fist, then happy he had a child at the end. June's character remained the same . Beaver's children resembles Beaver's personality when he was young. There's still a little Beaver in him. However, his wife leaving her 2 boys doesn't seem right. Beaver life is going to change pretty fast caring for those boys. Even though June is still around, not a soul can replace those 2 boys original mother. Those kids are going to grow apart from her. Later, she's going to regret it. They may just resent her later on. She'll probably blame Beaver. He may just find someone else. Anyway, glad to see the old cast now grown up still playing their original character. Love the show, old & new. A model how family should be. How much life has changed since then.
Great mix of sadness, nostalgia, the drama of dealing with family/personal problems, and humor. Particularly got a kick out of the Fred Rutherford/Lumpy confrontations, and Larry winding up in the ashram. "Next year, they'll give me a wife".😂
Hugh Beaumont died a year before this aired, I believe. It would have been nice to see Ward Cleaver one more time. Barbara Billingsley passed away in 2010. RIP Hugh & Barbara
Hugh's death saddened me deeply, he was like Ozzie Nelson in some ways
RIP June and Ward Cleaver
Today, Wally and Beaver would be grandparents.
OMG both beloved TV couple.RIP. well missed.😭😭😭😭😭😭
@Jimmy Greene Perhaps if you understood the English language you'd get it. Since you clearly lack the capacity to understand basic language or simple math HB died May 14th 1982. This reunion movie aired March 1983. Which is just about a year after his death. If you really want to get technical 10 months. Is that better for your limited understanding? So if you want to see a moron you should look in a mirror.
Wally's still giving Legendary advice..He was still so handsome...
1goldbaby he still is. I hear he’s an artist of sorts and is very successful. And has the most beautiful long gray hair!

I think so, too. His friend Eddy is, too. I admire their physiques. I am close, but they are so there. But why would a guy like Wally have a friend like Eddy? Eddy's lucky Wally can take his teasing! Some people would call him mean, but, interestingly, they realize he is just kidding. My brother can be like that. He loves to tease. It is what it is.
I can't believe I just teared up when Ward read Beaver's "most interesting" composition.

A TV show that brought and brings a old time comfort. Rip Mr Dow, Mr Osmond, and the many others that was a part of this wonderful show.
I remember finding a whole new level of respect for this nostalgia film when that harmonica solo from Supertramp's "Take the Long Way Home" kicked in.
That song is just PERFECT for this film.

Almost seems like it came naturally for Ken Osmond
love eddies laugh
Watched with a smile on my face and a tear in my eye.
RIP Tony Dow 😢 🙏 🕊
Sadly, Tony Dow left this world yesterday. Thank you Tony (Wally) for all the laugher and Light you brought into this world! 🌎 ❤️ 🙏
Age 67 here…..O how lucky we were to have the Cleaver Family on TV.
They touched so many.
R.i.P Barbara & Hugh & Eddie. You all.will forever remain a part of leave it to beaver.
And Frank Bank...Lumpy Rutherford
And Mr Rutherford. Bet you didn't know he was gay.
@@jtr9492 Fred Rutherford gay ? omg
And now Wally has passed.
Lumpy still calling his dad “daddy”I thoroughly enjoyed this even though I watch every episode even now over and over every day.
But with that said, Jerry Mathers Was a much more natural actor when he was young. Still fun to watch with all the old characters 😊

I loved this it bought back such beautiful memories.R.I.P to all the cast no longer with us. 9/4/2020
This was how you do a reunion movie right! Bring back as many old cast members as possible, plus their offspring and then put them in new situations. While the subsequent TV show tweaked the premise slightly to make it a traditional sitcom, this was more comedy/drama. It hit the right nostalgic notes, yet didn't forget that the characters were no longer kids and had real-world problems.
Seeing this in 1983 and now.. it really hits differently now.
I bought a complete DVD set from Walmart on line of "Leave it to Beaver" from the beginning to the end of this drama episode. Boy I;ll tell you this was a really Great and Historic story creation and very addictive to see! so I watch it over and over again all year round!
Good for you; you'll enjoy that. Of course this 1983 Still the Beaver TV reunion movie will not be on that DVD set since it was 25 years later - and BTW, I recently re-posted this Still the Beaver TV movie here in much better quality... ruclips.net/video/8zOKThV9KZI/видео.html
I should buy it too
I remember when this first aired at the age of 10. Being so young and watching the original show in syndication most of my life I was shocked how old the cast looked and that time goes very fast. With Tony Dow's passing I'm again reminded of this indeed. RIP Mr. Dow.
Hey, very well said. I became a fan in the 80s because I was born in 74 and would watch it if I was home from school. By then I got to know the characters and seen the new leave it to Beaver in the newspaper. I found out Hugh Beaumont had died in 1982 and wouldn't be in it. I wished he was in this show to put put him in spiritually. I am a big fan of the show and love Hugh Beaumont s acting and father skills..I started looking at what Hugh Beaumont did before Leave it beaver and he had some great run of movies, such as the Lost Continent from 1951. Beaver, Jerry Mathers later on appearing on Married with children of course and I was watching. The only ones left or Richie , Larry mondel, Gilbert , Judy , Candy, Tim Matheson , Beaver himself and probably a few of the young kids such as Fred Rutherford s daughter. I also think a few of Wallys girls. I just wish they got a 7th season in. We all will remember Tony dow and how great he was in the show. Him and Beaumont weren't in the pilot episode but I'm so glad it turned out how it did. Hugh Beaumont looks alot like my late grandfather Albert.
@10:34 That made me cry. Rest in Heaven Hugh Beaumont.

He was a Pastor and part time actor before getting the full time role as Ward Cleaver.
First time seeing this. I didn't know about this being made and it makes for a more complete family of growing up with another generation.
I grew up watching this wholesome show. One thing I always thought, most Moms didn't wear pearls. I didn't grow up in a loving place, at all. Glad everyone was included, even their father, made it a total family. I wish today's families were like this one, even though it wasn't real. Maybe our world would be a better place for today's generations. I am 75 and still enjoy this show. Hope it continues for many years and more families and children watch it to see ..that understanding and caring and loving, makes for a wonderful family and future.
RIP Tony Dow and the rest of the
'Leave It To Beaver' cast and crew for all you gave us. 🤗👍🙏🙏
P. S. I was so surprised about Eddie becoming a police officer. And Ward being a methodist pastor and passing so young.
Wally was the older brother that we all wished that we had.
Rest In Peace to Eddie, June, Ward, Lumpy, Wally, etc.
Every time I watch this, I cry like a baby...

Carole Roseburgh Me too, on Me tv
Eddie is still a weasel...and still character we can most identify with! He made the show! Without Eddie to counter-balance the "wholesome" Clever family, "Leave It To Beaver" would have been like other 50's shows. He gave the show an edge.
Eddie was the edgy one, true, but the other friends added so much offbeat spice, as well... Your comment about Eddie being the "counter-balance" to the well behaved Cleavers is spot on, and exactly what the producers had in mind, I'm sure...
@@garywarmee4367 Yes, though I think that Eddie was originally supposed to make an occasional appearance as just another one of Wally's friends, but Eddie quickly became the breakout star of the show and fans just loved his "Bad boy" character so much that he quickly became a regular cast member. I really think he should have been listed in the opening credits with the rest of the cast.
Anxiety Entertainment, that is high praise indeed for Eddie Haskell! I'll say this for him. Isn't he the longest running Cleaver sidekick the show had, his friendship with Wally running the entire length of the series?
There's one "Leave it to Beaver" episode that was a little edgy...pushing the envelope to say the least. It was "The Box Office Attraction" episode (season 6, episode 23). Google the episode, & check it out....you can view it for free on Dailymotion.com. This is my favorite "Beaver" episode.
R.I.P Ken Osmond - the one & only Eddie Haskell. 😔
Larry Mondello (Rusty Stevens) should have gotten an Oscar!!! This was actually a great movie loved seeing everyone.
Just posted new higher-quality version here: ruclips.net/video/8zOKThV9KZI/видео.html
He was a different actor than the original "Rusty Stevens." "Rusty Stevens" was a stage name anyway. The original "Larry Mondello" is much bigger and would have made for difficult camera angles even if he had been interested. He apparently had no interest in going back after leaving the original show a couple of seasons before it ended. Also, as far as I know, he didn't continue in acting after that.
@@bobpegram8042 wrong. Stevens reprised his Larry role in Still the Beaver. Same actor.
@@mikegryn Bout 20 years ago I knew the guy who played the original Larry Mondello. He is (or was?) 6'5" tall and weighs about 300 pounds. The guy you are talking about looks like he is of average height and weight. By the way his real name was not Rusty Stevens. He was the son of some famous people and so used a different name for work. This is not conjecture on my part. He even wrote an article about growing up in Beverly Hills and his famous neighbors. I won't disclose more info because he isn't interested in becoming well known as the former Larry Mondello.
@@bobpegram8042 okay but if you google his credits etc...it says he reprised his role in the 1983 TV movie Still the Beaver and there are some side by side pics of young and old larry and they look very similar. In your favor, the guy in the 1983 movie does not have the same acting chops as young Larry. ;)
RIP to all that passed!

"and then there was one . . ."
I just can't stop thinking about poor Jerry Mathers/Beaver. He's now the only surviving member of his tv family. How alone he must be feeling . . .
I'm devastated about the loss of Tony Dow. I hope with my whole being he passed painlessly, w/o fear. I know his very loving & caring family was right at his bedside to make his final journey less scary & peacefull.
Rest in peace, Hugh Beaumont, Barbara Billingsley, Ken Osmond and Tony Dow.
That was good, but it sad too. I wished Hugh Beaumont was still alive back then to be in the movie, but they did real good on the tv clips of him.

This was, for me, a 4-box Kleenex movie. Very well done. I lost it at the cemetery scene and when they did the beautifully synced flashback scenes. At 7:26 is when it hurt the most. ...And I am a 70 yr old guy.
Yes, those are touching moments alright -- I put together a 5-min reel of those special moments here: ruclips.net/video/rByIMy9DGlc/видео.html

I wish Hugh had lived 10 years longer so he could have been in this and the new series that followed. And Burt Mustin it would have been fun to see Gus still in the old firehouse giving advice to grown up Beaver that would have made the new series perfect.
Wow, Burt Mustin in this would've been awesome!!! Great call.
I was happy to see Richard Deacon make an appearance. Terrific character actor from the era. His scenes with Lumpy, and later with Morey Amsterdam in The Dick Van Dyke Show were comedy gold.
I'm Glad I finally found this with Larry Mondello in it!
And you could tell it was the same guy playing him. Looked exactly the same, except for the beard!

This show was so much to so many that didn't have the best childhood. I loved Mrs. Cleaver, and Barbara Billingsley was very much like her by every account I've heard. I've met Jerry and Tony a few times, wonderful people.
I love this movie I was glad that they made it into a series when they all grown up
I'm so glad they made this 1983 movie.
thank you for the movie love the Beaver

I am a grandmother now & I watched it as a kid & now with my granddaughter! I know all the lines by heart but it is still a great way to get lost in the show . The world is not innocent anymore & it WAS innocent on
LEAVE IT TO BEAVER . I wish it was like that for real.
My mother introduced me to this show in the very early 2000's. It was very influential on my character building. Even today this show holds it's charm and value and I'm going to show it to my kid!
I was breaking my 5yr old grandchild in on it today lol........peace out
Thank you for showing now since the passing of Tony Dow earlier today.
Gosh, I loved this show as a kid! Had a crazy crush on Wally. Truth is, here I am, older than June Cleaver, but just as aloof as The Beev.
Loved this show growing up and still watching the reruns..my favourite was when Beaver lost his haircut money and decided to give himself a haircut..priceless 😂😂😂😂 Sorry for the loss of Tony Dow so young...thanks for the memories...
People always told me this movie wasn’t any good but I just watched it and found it pretty good. LITB will always be one of my favorite shows.
As a child, no younger days, I used to watch this all the time one of my favorites I’m almost 60 years old now reminiscing was nice and the black and white fill-ins in here.
I think we all miss our childhood I know I do things were so different .
What a joyous story of growing up in 50s Small-town USA !
Thanks Beaver and Cleavers
KIND OF MAKES ME SAD SEEING THIS. MY MOM WHO PASSED AWAY A FEW YEARS AGO AND I WOULD WATCH THIS TOGETHER IN THE MORNINGS. ONE WEEK JAY NORTH WAS APPEARING AT A SIGNING IN CHERRY HILL AND WHEN WE MET JAY MY MOM CALLED HIM THE BEAVER AND JAY WAS LAUGHING AND SAID IM DENNIS. MOM AND I WOULD LAUGH ABOUT THAT UNTIL SHE PASSED.
I love this show!!! Still is on tv and Wally is still the best big brother ever!!!!look at fairly odd parents!!they wished for a Wally and got one for a day!!! I was a kid and didn't watch this one!! I'm so very glad I got to see it!!! Thank you!!!!💯💯🔨🎼🏈🍀🌎💡🇺🇸🐟❤️👍🏻💯great show even today!!!!! My sons love it!!
Glad you liked this reunion movie 20 years after the show you watch every day ended in 1963. This 1983 reunion movie became a revival series for four seasons of 101 episodes on Disney Channel and TBS Superstation from 1986-89 and was never seen again anywhere for more than 25 years, so I have transferred and posted every one of them right here on my RUclips channel. Enjoy!
What memories of beaver rest in peace Eddie Haskell
7:43 wow what a sad feeling inside, beaver seeing and hearing ghosts from the past , this brings back sadness when we finally sold the house i grew up in , the first 26 years of my life in that house , it was like losing and old friend :(
This movie will always be a treasure.
I’ve never heard of this, I’m so freaking excited right now.
Great, glad you are discovering it -- I have also posted the first season of the follow-up revival series called Still the Beaver, and I am right this minute editing an audio commentary I recorded at lunch last Thursday with Jerry Mathers for one of the episodes in which he is reunited with Violet Rutherford (original actress Veronica Cartwright) - he describes what it was liked doing Still the Beaver and working with all the original cast members as adults and new actors as their kids (and as June's grandkids). I'll be posting that soon.

I remember my ADHD self sitting in 7th grade English Class thinking about the scene where Beaver as dad was disciplining Corey and he picked up the broken guitar that twanged. I burst out in laughter and everyone looked at me.
thank you for posting this - i grew up with the beaver and have never seen this before. i must admit to tears when beaver first walks in the door at the house and the memories start flowing with ward sitting in the chair. knowing he passed the year before made it tough to watch. and tony passing recently made it even tougher. the memories will live on
I always wanted a mom like June Cleaver and a dad like Ward Cleaver and the same house, the best tv show ever made !❤️🌹
It’s hard to realize nearly twice the time has passed from this episode to now than from the original series to this episode.
I love it when so many years have passed by or they became grown ups. They never missed a step and still acted the same especially with Ken Osmond (RIP). I'm surprised they never had more roles for him in Hollywood because in this movie. He looked so similar to Clint Eastwood.
Who's here after Eddie's death? R.I.P.
@CDM VISUALS(opener): I'm here.
I've been binge watching The New Leave It To Beaver since finding out he died. What a talent!
@@mistercool3859 I watched the movie with my parents and It was so strange for it to be set in the 80s like just before they were in the 50s and the special made me cry tbh.
@@cmccorquodale2003 I think this movie is great. I did notice some continuity issues. They replaced Corey Feldman (Corey Cleaver) with Kipp Marcus (Kipp Cleaver). And Wally's first-born was a boy in the movie, but on the series his first-born is a girl. In the movie, Ward passed before Wally became a father. In the series, Ward must have been alive to have seen Wally's daughter, Kelly. Still a great movie.
@@mistercool3859 Those flashbacks were the best thing cause they were legit moments we have seen and that one where Ward is on the bed talking and Beaver followed up doing the same 🤧
Had to watch this again after hearing the news that Tony Dow had passed away. It really is like losing a member of the family. Excuse me but I have to peel a few more onions...
We all wanted a family like the Beavers!
I prefer the Haskells actually
My 2 yr. old granddaughter and I watch the reruns she just love the Beaver. Rip Tony Dow you were the best big brother.
