“Ward, don’t be too hard on the beaver…”

The dirtiest thing said on TV until Beavis and Butthead.

I still watch that show every day......
It was such a better time back then.
Beaver was supposed to meet Uncle Billy at the sporting goods shop the other day. He was asking the clerk if anyone matching Uncle Billy's description had been in the shop. While talking to the clerk, you couldn't help but notice the wall of rifles and shotguns behind him. They would never show such an evil thing today.
Then the episode when the class was working on the 'American Revolution' in history. Beaver had to make a poster and he painted Paul Revere. A couple other kids brought in objects relating to the time period. Henry brought in an actual Kentucky long rifle. Miss Landers was really impressed and showed it to the class. Can you imagine that today ?
Such a shame..........

The line was actually, "Ward, I think you were a little hard on the beaver last night."

I used to watch it as a kid...in the 80s as reruns. I enjoyed it and remember thinking how "boring" life seemed back then. Now I realize that was probably America's best years.

Season 6, Episode 18, "More Blessed to Give?". In this one June says to Ward, "I hope you weren't too hard on the Beaver?" to which he replies he replies "No, not at all".

The Married with Children episode that had the Beaver actor on it was hilarious.

When I'm not working I usually watch it because it comes on at 7am before Perry Mason.

Eddie Haskell

Beat me to it. I always ;identified' more with Eddie cause I was always the trouble maker.

There was a rumor back in the day, that the Beav'e was KIA in Vietnam.

A staple of growing up in the 50’s & 60’s. Think Ward was a Seabee …his character.
Eddie Haskell …always a smart ass in every neighborhood like him.
Think he was retired from the LAPD ?

Eddie Haskell

AKA John Holmes Porn Star.

 

[mvphilly]

I only watch those old 60s and 70s shows and The history Channel today.

 

[EddieNFL]

My oldest son had a friend that had to be Eddie Haskel's son. Yes sired, yes ma'amed us to death. Overheard him smack talking a few times.

 

[BullGear]

Unreal expectations for the entire run of the series. If I would have done just a small sample of trouble the Beaver got into, my Dad would have taken off 3 or 4 layers of skin from my backside.

Actually there's a line from Eddie Haskell where he asks Beaver if his dad slapped him across the puss. I thought that line was pretty funny too.

AKA John Holmes Porn Star.

Nope.
There were lawsuits over that.
Osmond testified in his disability hearing that he was called in by internal affairs in the LAPD, to "prove" he wasn't John Holmes by showing the goods.
He was a motorcycle cop with LAPD.

I believe he was a deputy sheriff in the county.

 

[Maser]

I believe he was a deputy sheriff in the county.

He also got shot.

 

[OkieMike]

It's actually a pretty decent show.

My little girl and I would watch a handful of episodes of it every evening after supper on one of the streaming services... Don't remember which service now.

My wife would roll her eyes. But it was clean and there was usually a bit of a moral... And Ward Cleaver wasn't made out to be an incompetent boob like most husbands are portrayed as nowadays.

I remember that. Crazy rumors about him being Jonny Wad, and the beaver being killed in Vietnam.

 

[lonegunman762x51]

That show should have had a spinoff where the neighborhood boys all banged June while the Beaver filmed it for his budding porn business.

 

[acudaowner]

grew up watching that and still enjoy the reruns to this day such a better time for tv shows .

 

[Maser]

No one has brought up June being fluent in jive?

 

[fyr4efect]

June Cleaver... mmmmm definately a MILF!!
