It was very well-done. Still funny. My brothers and I watched it, and we were born after it ended it’s run.
True, “Beaver” was popular in local syndication for decades after its original run, building up a large fanbase of many younger, post-boomer viewers.
That used to be the nice thing about the old days of local-tv. Young viewers could grow up watching 1930s-era “Little Rascals,” 1940s-era “Abbott and Costello” films, 1950s-era “Leave it to Beaver,” 1960s-era “Star Trek,” and 1970s-era “Brady Bunch,” or whatever, all at the same time. Many decades of cultural americana to tap into, and somewhat tie the generations together, and imprint a certain historical perspective. Don’t really see that scenario anymore, due to the fragmentation of the media into a million directions and a million ghettoized cubbyholes, which distances and alienates everyone from a common American culture.
