I was in the studio audience for Jerry Mathers' episode of Married With Children. It was 1988 or '89. The supermarket set Jerry worked on wasn't visible to the fans, so I suspected his scenes were taped earlier because I don't recall him taking a bow after the show ended. I may be wrong it was a long time ago. His appearance was fun to watch. I got to meet Barbara Billingsley at the Pacific Theater in Hollywood when I took her ticket at the front door. I was starstruck and couldn't talk but she had a big smile & gave me a very friendly Hello. :)

Thank you for watching Loveity Maureen! Glad you enjoyed this episode of The Jim Masters Show! with special guest Jerry Mathers! :)
Jim, and Jerry if you ever read this, I consider "Leave it to Beaver" to have been one of the greatest shows in history. When I got married 16 years ago, I made sure to play every episode for my wife. It's tremendously well made and always uplifting. I wish that modern audiences could become aware of how good it was. Unfortunately, they probably won't try something they don't know was excellent, but they probably won't know it's excellent without trying it.
