I’ve just discovered “Leave it to Beaver.” The show itself is hilarious. TVLand is in the middle of obviously what must be the last season of the show. Beaver is still in grammer school, but he looks old enough to be in high school. Wally looks like he should be in college, and yet he still hasn’t graduated from high school. I find the show funny not because of the gags that are supposed to be funny. It’s funny because the show is soooo backward of how real life is today. I have to wonder if this how things were like in real life in the late 50s and early 60s. The Beaver must be a moron. Before making any decision he has to ask the advice of everyone…Wally…his parents….and even Eddie Haskell. I’m not sure Ward and June ever let him think on his own. It is a wonder he got anywhere. I guess the producers of the show wanted to continue to provide the usual show of Beaver learning his lesson, without actually being realistic. In one show they were making a big deal about Eddie Haskell moving out of his parents’ house and getting an apartment on his own (while still being in high school). In America today this happens all the time. But it must have not happened often in the 50s.
