![]() ![]() The show was good, clean fun through and through. Though self-proclaimed cynics took it to task for its baseball-mom-and-apple-pie tone just a few years after it went off the air in 1963, its innocent humour holds up today. Leave It to Beaver, which creators and former Amos ‘n’ Andy radio writers Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher conceived of as a show related through the eyes of children (a new idea when it launched back in October 1957), was a solidly put-together series. When Theodore was just a baby in his crib, older brother Wally, a mere toddler in those days, couldn’t get his little mouth around the name Theodore. The best he could do was “Tweeter,” which Ward and June morphed into “Beaver”, and thus a legendary title was born. Ward (Hugh Beaumont) and June (Barbara Billingsley) Cleaver lived at 211 Pine Street, Mayfield, with their children, Wally (Tony Dow) and Theodore (Jerry Mathers).
