This Scene Wasn’t Edited, Look Closer At This 'Leave It To Beaver' Blooper

I am 74 years old and I grew up with Leave It with Beaver. I loved it. It was a nice, clean show.

I used to watch Leave It To Beaver back then, and still watch the reruns now!

The most wholesome show EVER!

I’m the same age as Jerry Mathers, when I watched BEAVER his reasoning made perfect sense to me. Fast forward and I’m teaching elementary school. Now I’m ‘Miss Landers’, and kids STILL think like Beaver. This was the day of VCRs. I taped some BEAVER episodes from a cable channel and took the tape in to school. It was the last couple of weeks of school. One or two days a week I’d show an episode the last 25 minutes of the day. The kids thought this was the greatest show ever, and wanted to know which cable channel it was on. A great show is a great show, and I was able to share my childhood with my kids.

When"Leave It To Beaver" was produced, there was no such thing as internet, Netflix, or even a VCR. It was next to impossible for viewers to notice details like the license plate on the Cleaver car. Producers most likely used the car they had available, and it was highly unlikely a viewer would notice for the once a week the show originally aired.

Who could forget the episode when June said, Ward, you were awfully hard on the Beaver last night! Different times, it was a wonderful time❤❤❤

Things weren’t clear enough on TV back then to catch those strings bouncing around faces. Heck I was happy enough just being able to see people’s faces.

The practical effects in classic TV never fail to fascinate! From fake bees to reused license plates, the ingenuity of old-school TV producers shines through. It's like peeking behind the curtain of television history. 📺✨

"Boy Beaver.....when Dad gets home he's really gonna give you the business!"

Love that show. I still watch it on ME tv.

Machine keeps saying Wall-E. Instead of Wally. Hire a human.

I'm 66 and we didn't get our first TV till I was 9, and even after we got one we weren't allowed to watch anything except 6 p clock news, star trek on Friday nite and Saturday cartoons so I didn't watch a lot of TV growing up and didn't watch this show till I was in my 40s, it was a great show as were a lot of shows back then. I'm retired now and catching up with the world of TV

Ward and June were everyone's dream Mom & Dad.

Always liked watching Leave it to Beaver. Wally was my favorite.❤️

Eddie making a mistake on the title ofa book may or may not have been an error by the writers. But Eddie was constantly feigning a greater degree of maturity than he actually possessed when talking to adults.

I wish we could go back to using simple effects where our imaginations had no bounds.

to add to the height part of June Cleaver, i heard in other documentaries that she wore heals because Ward was so much taller than her. the part about her wearing heels because the kids were getting taller was news to me.

If you watch The Munster's where Igor the bat or Grandpa when he's a bat are flying around you can see strings holding the fake bats too. There's a episode of Bewitched where Tabitha's bottle floats upstairs to her. You can see the string holding it

.....I remember watching lots of black and white TV back in the 50s and 60s..... it's 2024 and it seems like I'm still watching tons of black and white

Let's talk a little bit about record player mechanics of the time. Belt???????? Record players of the time usually didn't use a belt. Most used an idler drive wheel. About the only record player(turntable) of the era which comes to mind was the Empire turntable. Those were large and fairly prominent. I don't see an Empire turntable anywhere. It would be expected that a idler-driven record player of the day might come to an abrupt halt as the power is disconnected. The sound would definitely fade away and when the power is turned back on, would fade back in after the turntable came back up to speed. This is one reason that tube-amplified juke boxes kept power on the tube filaments so that sound would start instantly when the needle dropped on the record.
