The thing about Leave it to Beaver is it always makes you feel good. My husband (who never saw it before) was laughing the first time I played a few shows. So you instantly connect to the characters. Nice interview.
I’m a 50s child, and watched the shows in the original run. The way Beaver’s mind worked made sense to me because it’s the way my mind worked. Flash forward 15 years, I’m an elementary school teacher. The reruns are on, and I’m watching them. I realized kids never changed. My 4th graders still thought like Beaver. I filled a VHS tape (so you know when that was), and one Friday at the end of the day I showed the class an episode. Every week I’d hear “Can we watch Beaver on Friday?” I still love the show. Andy Griffith, Lucy, Dick Van Dyke, the Cleavers...I’ll watch those over any modern sitcom.
70 years old and still love Beaver! Brings back a lot of good memories for me. Back in the 50s our Country was a friendly Family oriented. Not much to worry about. Hugh Beaumont played JESSIE JAMES in Wells Fargo! Great performance!!!
My husband and I are really leave it to Beaver fans and it’s wonderful to be able to hear them now as adults Tony Dow will be missed and every time we watch leave it to Beaver we do think of him and we still love him and we love jerry And it was such a great show 0:46
My husband and I have been watching about two or three episodes a night on Peacock. The Cleavers just moved into the new house and Beaver let the tub run over. Not only was it good writing but the comedic timing/delivery of the two boys was perfect. 🤩. I started first grade and L it TB in 1957. And I’m with Beaver. I watch Fox, OAN, Newsmax.
It's interesting how not unlike Beaver and Wally in real life may have political differences it doesn't cause a divide in their relationship. We all can all learn that lesson, of what we share in common to bridge that divide. As I'm politically with Wally, yet I love everything about this show. I've often thought Dolly Parton is another great example of one that we could all vote for together! ~ ❤️
Beaver was so funny as a kid. He just said things that made you bust out in laughter. I love the words they used back then like" gee, that's keen or the famous give you the business 😂
These guys are on ideologically different sides of the spectrum (Mathers joined the military just like his father and son, Dow is an artist and sculptor), but remain friends, you almost cannot do that these days.
The amazing thing about their 6 year run, it never cracked Top 10 in the Nielsen Ratings, and it was cancelled by CBS after the first season!!!! ABC was astute enough to pick it up for season 2 and beyond!! Think its been said there is NEVER a time when the show is not being watched somewhere in the world since 1957!!
@@Trytantix Why certainly! It's the nature of the beast: Leftists are cynical and vicious. Rightists are positive and congenial. I've described it as street thugs versus choir boys, and now girls. And thank goodness for my sisters, because they're tough, and they stand up. A few men do, but not many.
I would have tagged these two as being the opposite politically speaking.... Surprised Jerry would be a so called conservative.... I thought he was more intelligent than that.... I still like him though.... Great guys and a great show..... I am in my 80th year of life and I still watch them twice a day on retro TV....
Being Conservative is intelligent. Believing in equality and character and law and order. All the good things are Conservative Republican. All the bad things are Democrat. Slavery, open borders, sanctuary cities, rioting and looting.
believe me i’m the furthest thing from a liberal , however when tony dow made the show he’s nothing but a kid , and had no political views so i try my best ot like the character and not even want to know whst their political affiliation is
Such a great interview in 2024.

I'm a 70s baby and I'm with you on that
Remember when the Beaver cussed a kid out? He got tripped and called the kid something but cut to the teacher’s face and the bell censored it.

They both still seem young at heart.
I'm an 80s kid, loved the reruns I used to watch on I think TBS on cable after school.
Good old days😁

I just love these guys!!!!!
Love the show watch it all the time wish I was back there

Mrs Lander's was a great teacher.
easy on the eyes too
Great interview is the volume low ?? Of maybe I'm old...lol
It's low, but I'm 72, so maybe it's my hearing;-)
no doubt it was a great show I watch it every morning
im with you i watch two episodes a day on metv
Beaver was so funny as a kid. He just said things that made you bust out in laughter. I love the words they used back then like" gee, that's keen or the famous give you the business 😂
"Watch it Eddie or I'll clobber you"!
Or Search me!😂
@@lizramirez7020 OH yeah I forgot about that one 😅😅
Great interview.
i remember the days of 3 or 4 stations and i honestly think we were better off - too much noise today!
Love these two! As far as the alligator episode, they get a dog at the end but, yet, we never see the dog again in the series.
You’re exactly right!
I was thinking that last night when I was watching it.
It's almost impossible for me to believe Tony Dow will be 73 years old next year. Gee , Wally , where did the time go?
The guys will give him the business when they find out about wally's G.E.D.
And he looks GREAT!!
I wanna see these guys around a long time. I love watching them now and on reruns of leave it to beaver. God bless these 2 legends

Wish I could hear what they're saying..

Rest In Peace Wally Cleaver
Remember when the Beaver cussed a kid out? He got tripped and called the kid something but cut to the teacher’s face and the bell censored it.
"Am I high enough Whitey?" "No Beaver... put your foot on the ladies thumb!"
Got this giant mic and can't hear a damn thing.
They don’t mention their big fight. Tony wanted the show called Leave It To Wally
The guys will give him the business when they find out he doesn't believe in God.
Lol
Dennis Baird For sure and the father too
Way to go, Beav! A non-Marxist celebrity!
The Cleavers were True AMERICAN Patriots. Don’t make em like that anymore. Shame!

Way to go Wally!
Jerry pulling on his ring so much was irritating.
Jerry loves FOX. I knew I liked that kid!!!

He is intelligent

I liked wally until he revealed being a liberal
Tell Wally that REAL Americans HATE communists- got 2 in the White House. Should be a bounty on them Both 🇺🇸🏴🇺🇸🏴☠️
believe me i’m the furthest thing from a liberal , however when tony dow made the show he’s nothing but a kid , and had no political views so i try my best ot like the character and not even want to know whst their political affiliation is
