RIP; I loved that show...
RIP, Lumpy.
A more recent photo of "Lumpy" with "Eddie Haskell."
Thanks very much. Nice to see they stayed in touch!
Of course, June Cleaver called him Clarence instead of Lumpy :).
One of my favorite shows back in the day.
Another part of my TV childhood gone. RIP Lumpy. Thank you for great entertainment in my youth.
Yes she did.:-)
Nothing funnier than Eddie Haskell kissing up to the parents.
He was quite funny as Lumpy, especially when he’d act all respectful and docile in the presence of his father (played by Richard Deacon). I met him once at a hotel, where he was appearing at one of those nostalgia conventions, and he seemed rather friendly and was enjoying meeting people.
Boomer history.
Surprisingly, he was quite the ladies man.
bttt
Lumpy’s father would get upset when the boys called his son Lumpy.
IIRC, Mr. Rutherford was a dork and although Ward and June tried to be nice to him - they didn’t like him.
Didn’t Eddie Haskell grow up to be Bill Clinton?.....
