RIP Sir.
Thank you for your contribution to a a clean wholesome portrayal of American life and a positive influence on my childhood.
Amen.
Agreed. I’ve been watching Leave it to Beaver reruns over the past year and he had some hysterical lines. Tony/Wally was the star as much as Beaver! And what a great family oriented show it was!

Yes. ‘Leave It To Beaver’ and ‘The Rifleman’ were morality plays as much as anything else. And as you noted, they had a positive effect on those who watched them.
‘The Rifleman’ could have done with a bit less shooting, though. Just my opinion, and no big deal in the overall scheme of things.
