#LEAVE IT TO BEAVER FULL EPISODE SERIES#

Did anyone, after all, have parents that slept in separate beds and never argued? Did your mother greet you every morning dressed to perfection (including that trademark pearl necklace) with a hearty meal? Did your father never once raise his voice to you (or, in that day and age, lift a hand for punishment)? Set in Mayfield, USA (the exact locale was never established), Leave It to Beaver, for six seasons, offered a weekly glimpse into a childhood, and a world, that was pure fiction. By episode end, the situation is rectified, Ward offers some sage advice, and goodвЂ™ ol June, dressed to the nines, is always ready with some warm parental mothering. In a typical episode, вЂњBeaverвЂќ gets himself into some kind of trouble (remember that bad haircut, that goofy outfit his aunt wants him to wear, or when he gets stuck in an advertising billboard with an enormous make-believe cup of soup?), then faces his parents - stern but sensible Ward (Hugh Beaumont) and ladylike June (Barbara Billingsley).

But what set Leave It to Beaver apart was its perspective, where the comedy focused on life through the eyes of Jerry Mathers (as Theodore вЂњBeaverвЂќ Cleaver), who was seven years old when the series began. Like other family-themed comedies of that time ( The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet and Father Knows Best, in particular), love and understanding - and a happy ending - was the recipe for any situation. But that does not mean that I, or anyone of any age, should not be familiar with the picture-perfect clan called Cleaver, which exemplified the idealized suburban family we all craved. Full disclosure: I was not born when classic sitcom Leave It to Beaver debuted on this day in 1957.
