This is the fourth time Patty Turner appears as Linda Dennison. She appears a total of six times in the series in this role.
When you freeze frame on the letter Ward is reading from Mrs. Rayburn the first sentence reads, "This sentence has absolutely nothing to do with anything, it's here merely to take up space." Except for the final sentence of the letter, the rest of the content is similar.
1st 10* episode of season 2. Beaver is easily manipulated by his friends. It'll be interesting when he finally wises up. Ward's wisdom doesn't seem to penetrate the kid's thick skulls. Will the Cleaver boys ever get a buddy who isn't a backstabber? A great "lesson" episode. Touching talk to the class by Miss Landers (Sue Randall).

Theodore Cleaver : Wally, I don't like Linda, why should I feel bad 'cause she's sittin' in a tree with Larry?
Wally Cleaver : I don't know. I don't like Mary Ellen Rogers either, but I feel kind of bad when I see her talking to some of the other guys in school. I guess that bad feeling is what makes people get married.
Theodore Cleaver : Search me, Wally.

The Real Reason Leave It To Beaver Was Cancelled
By Aaron Homer / May 25, 2022 2:35 pm EDT
"Leave It To Beaver," the beloved sitcom that ran for six seasons between 1957-1963, occupies a weird place in American pop-culture history. On the one hand, the show won accolades both while it was on (including two Emmy nominations ) and after it had been off the air for decades (including The Beaver making Bravo's list of the top 100 TV characters). On the other hand, today the show is Exhibit A when discussing the comically-quaint wholesomeness of TV in those days; like other shows, it steadfastly went out of its way to acknowledge mundane realities of everyday life, such as people using the bathroom .
Nowadays, a network family sitcom, such as Modern Family or The Goldbergs , can run for a decade or more. But, in the early days of broadcast TV, writers weren't as skilled at creatively writing storylines for when the children in the show become adults. However, when the two main actors in "Leave It To Beaver" reached places in their lives when they wanted to do things that other people their age do, instead of acting, the network simply pulled the plug on the hugely popular show and, in a first, produced a series finale rather than just another episode.
Before getting into why "Leave It To Beaver" was canceled — for good — it bears noting that the show was actually canceled twice. As Showbiz Cheat Sheet reports, its ratings for Season 1 were middling at best, and CBS didn't renew it. However, in a reality that still happens to this day in network TV, another network, ABC, saw hope in the show and picked it up. It was, of course, the right decision, as the show would go on to air for five more seasons and become a cultural juggernaut in the process.
The two key characters in the show were the younger, precocious Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver, and his older brother, Wally, portrayed by Jerry Mathers and Tony Dow, respectively. And, although Beaver and Wally were broadcast into Americans' homes on a weekly basis for six years, Mathers and Dow were real young men who, like all real young men, grow up and live through life experiences. Mathers, in particular, couldn't stay young and precocious forever, and though he spent the better part of his early years in front of the TV cameras, as he entered his teens he found himself wanting to do things that other teens do. Specifically, according to Showbiz Cheat Sheet , he wanted to attend high school . The show's title character leaving would pretty much doom the show, or at the very least, make it extremely weird, so the producers made the decision to bring it to a satisfying conclusion.
These days, when a show is canceled (and when the show's writers and producers are given enough warning), it's pretty much standard practice that the show will be given a sendoff — a final episode that ties up any loose ends, wraps up the characters' story arcs, and perhaps sets them up for new adventures in new contexts. However, in the "Leave It To Beaver" days, shows just ... ended, without any sort of denouement. For example, the final episode of "I Love Lucy" was just another episode; in keeping with the show's formula, Lucy got in over her head and comical hijinks ensued. That was it.
However, the "Leave It To Beaver" writers changed things up, in the process setting up a formula that would inform TV writers for the next several decades. Specifically, according to Showbiz Cheat Sheet , the writers sent Wally off to college. That may seem mundane, but in fact, the entire premise of the show's comedy and warmth stemmed from the relationship between the two lads. In sending Wally off to college, they addressed a reality that was (and is) true for American men his age, as well as providing a wrap-up that let the audience know the show was over. These days, rare is the network TV show that doesn't end with some kind of tieing up of loose ends — at least, when the writers have been given enough warning to be able to write one.

One of the first sitcoms to air on American TV, Leave It To Beaver , was such a compelling and universal show, that including reruns, it hasn’t gone off the air since it first debuted in 1957. Viewers were introduced to Theodore ‘Beaver’ Cleaver and his family, which included older brother Wally, as well as model parents, June and Ward Cleaver. From the very first episode, audiences could relate to the silly predicaments the boys got themselves into, seeing either themselves or their children in the characters. In spite of its legacy, there is probably a lot you didn’t know about what went on behind the scenes of Leave It To Beaver . Now, the remaining cast members are telling it all.
When the war broke out in Vietnam, Jerry Mathers, who played Beaver, wanted to enlist in the Marines. Fearing bad publicity should a well-loved child star be killed in action, he was told he wouldn’t be deployed. Instead, Mathers decided to join the United Air Force Reserve.
Even though Mathers wasn’t quite doing what he wanted, he still felt good that he was contributing to the war effort in some form or another. He even got to wear his own uniform!
Unlike most TV shows today, the pilot that was shot for Leave It To Beaver featured several different actors than the ones who would later become famous for the show. Ward was originally portrayed by Max Showalter in the pilot episode, while Wally was played by Paul Sullivan.
Unfortunately for Paul, he grew too much in the six-month break before the show went to series. The producers wanted someone who would look younger, so they cast Tony Dow as Wally instead.
There was a very specific reason producers found the young Jerry Mathers endearing when he showed up to audition for Beaver. Mathers was dressed in his cub scout uniform, however, it wasn’t just a costume choice.
Mathers genuinely had a cub scout meeting to go to after his audition, which he was anxious to get too. He was so worried about being late for the meeting, he informed the casting team that he had somewhere to be, which they absolutely loved.
On the show, Wally was often portrayed as the successful older brother, who not only was smooth with the ladies, but was admired for his athletic prowess.
Some of that stems from the fact that Tony Dow himself was an accomplished athlete, even before he made it onto the show. He had been a Junior Olympian swimmer before he began acting. Even before Dow was cast, the producers were looking for someone athletic to fill the role, so Dow was a perfect fit.
Hugh Beaumont turned to acting for very different reasons that most performers. While many people seek side jobs in order to support their acting dreams, Beaumont got into acting for the paycheck.
He was otherwise an ordained minister with a degree in theology from University of Southern California. The ministry to which he was assigned happened to be extremely poor, so he needed to find another source of income. It just so happened that playing Ward Cleaver was the best way to do so.
The series premiered on a notable day in history, though it had nothing to do with the show that would become an icon in its own right later on.
The day the series began running was October 4, 1957, which was the same day that the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the very first satellite into space. Beaver may not have been reliant on pop culture for its storylines, but it certainly made mention of the Sputnik launch during several episodes.
During an interview for the show’s 60th anniversary, Tony Dow told Today that the show’s writers didn’t want Leave It To Beaver to be filled with jokes that had audiences rolling on the floor in laughter.
Dow explained, “[I]f any line got too much of a laugh, they’d take it out. They didn’t want a big laugh; they wanted chuckles.” You may have wondered why the humor of the show was styled as such, so it’s nice that Dow provided the answer.
One of the most noticeable goofs on the show was the changing age gap between Wally and Beaver. When the show first began, Beaver was only in second grade, making him around 7 years old.
Wally, on the other hand was in 8th grade, meaning there was a six year gap between the boys. By the end of the show, however, Beaver was set to begin high school, while Wally was graduating, meaning the gap had reduced to only a four year difference.
Though show may have been more internally consistent than most TV programs in history, but the fictional Mayfield’s general location seemed to be in flux. Some consider Mayfield to be in Wisconsin, because the town of Madison, as well as the Green Bay Packers, were mentioned.
In another episode, however, Beaver mentions being only 30 miles from the beach. Yet another episode made it seem like Mayfield was in Ohio, because Wally supposedly went to a school near Shaker Heights.
One would have imagined that booking such a popular show like Leave It To Beaver would have been an exciting event, however, for Hugh Beaumont, it led to tragedy. After he was cast as Ward Cleaver, he had to get himself to California pronto, which meant flying.
His usual routine was to drive with his wife, son, and mother-in-law from Minnesota, but didn’t have the time. Instead, his son drove the family, but ended up in an accident on the way, which Hugh’s mother-in-law didn’t survive.
When Leave It To Beaver first debuted on CBS, strict censorship laws governed what could and couldn’t be shown on TV. Beaver became the first program to show a toilet on screen, but were only allowed to show the tank and handle.
It took producers a significant amount of negotiation in order to show even that much, but eventually, the executives on the Production Code Association, who were responsible for policing film and television decided to relent, so long as the scene wasn’t too crude.
At 69, Jerry Mathers hasn’t been acting much lately, but he did surprisingly end up the focus of a tragic rumor during his mid-life years.
Somehow, a myth was begun and perpetuated that Mathers had in fact been killed in Vietnam, which is ironic because the military wouldn’t let him serve for that reason. Despite the rumors, Mathers became the star of Beaver spin off movies and TV shows in the 1980s, which was originally titled, Still The Beaver .
When asked about any on set mishaps in his Fox News interview, Mathers had one very particular story that wasn’t well known otherwise. In a play taken straight from Beaver’s life, Mathers was shooting an episode where Beaver cares for a neighbor’s cat.
When the purebred show cat was put in the tree for the scene, however, it was spooked by its surroundings and ran away. Mathers recalled that it took nearly 5 days to find the frightened kitty.
In celebration of the TV show’s 60th anniversary, many of the cast members began doing interviews on many TV networks in order to discuss their time on the show.
During one 2014 interview, Mathers appeared on Fox News to discuss his favorite recollections from the show. For his appearance, he pulled out the old interview uniform, explaining that during the show’s run, he and Tony Dow would wear a Mayfield High School letterman sweater for their press appearances.
There’s more to the tale of the toilet on Leave It To Beaver than simply being censored for wanting to show a toilet. At the time, no show had ever shown a bathroom, and the censorship authorities wanted to do more than just remove the scene from the show.
The first episode of the main series revolved around Wally and Beaver buying an alligator, which they needed to put in water. Because of that scene, the show was almost banned from the airwaves entirely.
Leave It To Beaver had a curious effect on fashion trends of the era. Many associate June Cleaver’s classic pearls as the quintessential look for a 1950s housewife, but the truth is, that wasn’t necessarily every mother’s uniform.
Barbara Billingsley chose pearls as part of her regular costume because she had a small scar on her neck that she deemed unsightly for the cameras. The pearls would hide the scar from viewers, which made Billingsley more confident about her appearance.
After the show, Ken Osmond left the acting business in order to become a police officer for the Los Angeles Police Department. In the 1980s, Osmond was shot three times while he was on duty during a chase with a criminal.
Luckily for Osmond, he was wearing a bullet-proof vest, which ultimately saved his life. Eddie might have been quite the rascal on the set of Leave It To Beaver , but Osmond’s future profession showed just how different he was from his character.
Hugh Beaumont wasn’t content to simply act on the show. It’s clear from his profession as a minister, as well as the fact that he had gotten a Master’s degree, he was interested in more serious pursuits.
To that end, Beaumont was able to play a part in writing for several episodes of Leave It To Beaver , as well as to also direct some of the episodes. This just proves that Beaumont was a man of many talents.
Many audience members reminisce about how June Cleaver was always pristine, even while engaging in all sorts of housework. Both her pearls and her heels are one of the most cited examples of what it meant to be a housewife in the 1950s.
However, Barbara Billingsley didn’t wear heels at the start of the show. She only began wearing heels as the two boys began growing, so she could better appear to tower over them, especially when dealing with their many misdeeds.
Tony Dow almost didn’t make it into the acting business, but rather decided to tag along with a friend of his who was a lifeguard at one of the pools he swam in.
On a whim, Tony decided to audition alongside his friend, and they filmed a pilot together, which never got off the ground. It was Tony’s luck, however, that when Leave It To Beaver realized they needed to recast Wally, they remembered him and gave him a call.
The Cleaver house that was shown on screen for most of the series is still standing in the Universal backlot. The house was constructed when the show moved its filming operations over to Universal, and the studio decided not to knock it down.
Instead, it became the house that was used for a number of other shows as well. If you were to go on a tour of the Universal lot, there’s still a chance you too could visit the Cleaver house.
When the show first debuted in 1957, its ratings were only so so, which caused executives at CBS to rethink the
