Leave it to Beaver is cool, and you just gotta love Eddie Haskell for pure amusement, also, Ward and June are great parents. Ah the good old days when a family show was about shooting for an ideal instead of wallowing in so called “reality.”

21) Did Ken Osmond (Eddie Haskell) become a porn star?

Another urban legend. John Holmes, and adult movie star took his name and did several movies satirically under the name “Eddie Haskell”. Mr. Osmond launched a $25 million suit. The suit went all the way to the California Supreme Court. The court ruled for Mr. Holmes, saying the name was protected as a satire. This case set a precedent in the matter, and is still referred by other cases in California today.

There was yet another urban legend that Ken Osmond was Alice Cooper, the rock singer. This originated from a Rolling Stones interview with Alice Cooper. Mr. Cooper stated that he was “Eddie Haskell” as a child. Mr. Cooper was speaking metaphorically, yet some readers interpreted him literally.
