I agree with you, he is just naturally a nice guy. Thank you for your comment. Please subscribe if you haven't already, we have more episodes on the way:)
I wasn't born yet for the original series. I was a kid in the early 80's so I watched re-runs, but I do remember the reunion series "Still the Beaver". I can't believe so many of them are dead now, Eddy Haskell, Wally, Lumpy. So sad. Great interview.
Jerry you are still Beaver to your fans. I watch and tape the show. One of my favorites is the billboard. The show still brings warm ness to my heart. Back when it was filmed the world was a different place. It gives me hope that no matter what is on the other side of the door, there are still places like that on earth. You look good and still seem to be innocent and child like. Thanks for taking the time for the interview, you are still a legend.
I’m 46 from the uk and come across leave it to beaver by mistake .. I absolutely love the show it’s so real so pure and honest shame tv isn’t the same .. 🙏🇬🇧
First of all, thanks for watching from the UK! I love England! Leave it to Beaver is just iconic for its time. It is still wonderful to watch! Check out my other interviews on my channel as some of the shows may have been on in the UK😀
This was a True TREASURE!!! LOVED seeing the Beave :) :) It is so AWESOME to see how GREAT his LIFE has been, and his love for the Show and the FANS is simply Wonderful...THANK YOU, I AM LOVING THIS PODCAST!!!
Hi Tia, truly appreciate your support and kind words. You are welcome. Jerry is a treasure! Please subscribe to my CZcams channel as more great interviews are coming up😃
I absolutely love Leave it to Beaver. I saw Tony Dow at a fan event for another actor years ago and I'm still kicking myself that I was too nervous to approach him. I would love to meet Jerry Mathers, though. God bless Tony and Ken Osmond as well.
Having had the fortune to meet Jerry a couple times I will tell you he is just like the Beav in so many genuine ways. Nice guy. I also regret not meeting Tony or interviewing him, have only heard the best about him.
Wonderful interview with Jerry. Fun hearing his many stories. I forgot he was in Trouble With Harry. He played Shirley McLaine's son. Such a funny movie. 😂
Hi Neil, always appreciate your feedback. Jerry is just a very nice guy who not only embraces his "Leave it to Beaver" role but really is just the ultimate representative of the show. So glad you enjoyed it and happy to bring it to you.
Loved this! (Have had the pleasures of meeting Jerry Mathers several times over the years, at autograph shows. Always tell him that "Mrs. Cleaver has nice children." And, they always were! Ken Osmond, too!)
Leave it to Beaver was part of my daily routine. I grew up watching Jerry Mathers grow up. He spent some time at WOWO Fort Wayne, radio station and I caught all of his interviews. Thanks for taking the time and making the effort.
That is very cool that Jerry was in Fort Wayne for that and you both share the same name as well! My pleasure to share it with you. Jerry was a thrill to interview and he didn’t disappoint in any way, just a great guy. Hope you enjoy some of the other celeb interviews on my channel!😀
The show comes on here at 6am and I get up and watch the two episodes that are aired. The whole cast and crew is just timeless and still remains one of my all time favorite shows. Beaver still look good. I would LOVE to meet him. He is an absolute treasure, and an incredible person.
@@ThatsClassicTV Lucky you. are there other cast members that are around today? i know the mom and dad are gone and his brother are gone. Thanks ahead of time.
@@hyperspazz8082 Thank you, Jerry was so fun. I have met him in-person since the interview and he is so genuine. Luke Fafara "Tooey Brown" is still around and I have reached out to interview him but nothing yet.
@@ThatsClassicTV He's gotta be pushing 80? I remember that little blonde kid. Whatever happen to Judy isn't it? The one that was mean to Beaver and others?
Hey brother! ‘56. I was in Portland Oregon… still I never for i com able in that house. From there until I saw first G.T. 500 in Portland dealership. The best thing of my life! How about you?!
Jerry Mathers always gives terrific interviews. I always loved Hugh Beaumont’s Ward Cleaver. He reminded me of my father who passed away when I was eleven years old. Your interviews are outstanding and true treasures. Thank you so much.
Frank, that makes our day. Wishing you the best and thrilled you are enjoying the podcasts. Hugh Beaumont played an incredible father so I am sure your Dad was special. Please subscribe as we working on other episodes to come...
@@frankofva8803 If you are referencing David White who played Larry Tate, she does talk about him at one point in the interview. Also, make sure you check out Erin's first Bewitched podcast with me that will be listed on my CZcams Channel page:)
@@ThatsClassicTV I will rewatch. I have some hearing challenges so I’m sure I missed it. And I will check out your other interview. I’m so happy I came upon your channel. Have a great weekend.
I remember watching an episode of Bewitched where Jerry's brother Jim Mathers played a guest role on that show. I thought they were twins when they were younger, but they were born in different years. Their resemblance is uncanny. Jim Mathers had a chance to work with June Lockhart as his mother on that particular episode. It looks like Jim moved on as an actor, but he is a cinematographer and a director of photography for different productions.
I really enjoyed the show Leave it to Beaver. John Cato and Bob Bergen host a great podcast with Jerry Mathers. I learned a lot of insights about The Beaver and the other characters. Excellent and loose banter! Great Podcast. Looking forward to the next one! ,
Thanks a bunch Pete! Bob and I had a great time talking with Jerry. What a nice guy. I loved the stories as well. He made me bust a gut at the end of the interview as well:) Thanks for your terrific feedback and compliments. Thanks for being a subscriber!
Another great interview. LITB is just a great show. My brother idolized Wally. These shows are how shows should be, without the garbage. Obviously this is why this show and others of their time have such staying power. Solid, decent shows will always be the best. Jerry, thank you for your legacy.
Thank you Martha😀I completely agree, LITB is ageless and it just takes you back to such a special time. Jerry really carries on the legacy of the show with class. Thanks cool about your brother, I bet there were a lot of guys who thought the world of Wally.
I enjoy watching Leave it to beaver the actors are awesome Rest In peace to those who passed l watch leave it to beaver on metv awesome family tv show thank you all for the awesome memories I will always cherish them your friend Sharon L Curry from Decatur Illinois
That was very nice to hear Sharon. Leave It To Beaver will go on for a long time to come, it is just a great show. Glad the interview brought back great memories😀
It was a show a lot of times about growing pains through a kids 👀 eyes which was so cute for grown ups but relatable on a child’s level. Loved by the old and young audiences ❤
New subscriber! I came here after watching "Still the Beaver" again - grew up watching "Leave it to Beaver" one of my favourite shows of my childhood. Would love to buy a "Beaver" lunch box! Loved this interview! ❤
Well thank you so much❤️Thrilled you found my channel. Jerry was so genuine and just a kind person. Enjoy the interviews. There are more great ones coming. Thanks for being a subscriber!
I think that is why it has continued to go on and on. You must have had a great childhood:) Please subscribe if you haven't already so you are notified when my next episode is published. Some great ones are on the way.
If I'm not mistaken, the Beaver house was also used for the Kraft Suspense Theatre after the show ended. The only time that I know of where we can see the set in color.

I agree James and it still makes me laugh😀
What a great life Jerry had exploring the lots and fishing the pond.
I am so with you, that had to have been such a fun time for a kid. I would have loved to have seen what it looked like on the lot then.
I absolutely love Leave it to Beaver. I saw Tony Dow at a fan event for another actor years ago and I'm still kicking myself that I was too nervous to approach him. I would love to meet Jerry Mathers, though. God bless Tony and Ken Osmond as well.

If that is true, that is a great piece of trivia especially since you see the set in color. Thanks for sharing:)
@@ThatsClassicTV Here's a link to one of the episodes. Let me know if I'm wrong. The house starts at 7:05 czcams.com/video/o0GIt7Sqe5s/video.html
Does Jerry know the singer Tony DeFranco? He is a successful real estate developer.
I don’t know.
Why did they change the intro theme in season 6
I don’t know but maybe a fan will respond with the info😀
Great interview. How do you get these interviews - just ask or do you pay a fee?
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. It is a mix of connections through the years and being in the entertainment industry. Hope you become a subscriber 😀
Hey Beav, how 'bout a game of baseball over at Metzger's Field???
Thanks for comment Matt, I am sure he would if he could! Hope you enjoy the other podcasts as well.
