Leave it to Beaver
is on the air regularly here in south Florida. As with all TV shows the later episodes did not have the most clever writing but the earliest ones are incredibly well written. Plus, each actor was perfectly matched to the part.
If I try to give examples it would take me to long as I peck these keys with two fingers and I would not do the show justice.
2 episodes come to mind. One is where Wally is complemented on his very clean neat appearance and so 6yo Beav tries to emulate his older brother.
It's funny from start to finish but one scene shows the Beav at school lunch unusually clean as he starts to eat a banana while his good friend who is dirty, overweight and stuffing his face with a big piece of chocolate cake asks him why he is clean. It was a cute hilarious scene. Don't let me half ass explanation turn you off.
The other episode has the Beav buying his mom a gift which turns out to be a gawdy, tacky French blouse with "Oooh la la" in big letters across it and his mom has to wear it publically to please the Beav.
