I find humor in the show. The parent’s reactions and the kid’s reactions.

Eddie Haskell - ‘nuff said.

Fans of the show differ. Some prefer the first 4 seasons when the emphasis was on Beaver and the child. Others (like me) prefer the more teen-centric episodes with Wally, Lumpy and Eddie dominating the plots.

Beaver AS the child. Sorry, typo

"Others (like me) prefer the more teen-centric episodes with Wally, Lumpy and Eddie dominating the plots."

I recall an episode in which there's a new kid in school - Dudley - who always wears a suit and is considered a square by most of the other students. Naturally, he - nicknamed "Dud" by Eddie Haskell - becomes the target of Eddie Haskell's jibes. (Wally: "Hey Eddie, stop giving him the business.") But it all changes at a party when Dudley turns out to be an excellent piano player, and all the girls - including Eddie's date - crowd around him in admiration.

Eddie Haskell - ‘nuff said.

Played by Ken Osmond. A straight up righteous dude in real life. In 1970 became an LAPD cop. Got on motorcycles, and was in the thick of things. In a foot chase with a car thief, took three bullets. Two in his vest, one in his belt buckle.
Grew a cop mustache so the public wouldn’t recognize him.

Strange how Lumpy morphed from a big, oafish bully to a friend, and contemporary of Wally. Held back a couple of years?
