Does anyone like Leave it to Beaver. I like it and I'm an adult. I know that a house wife is not going to dress in hills and a dress to clean house. No one makes their kids wear a suit and tie to go to dinner unless its a wedding or something like that, but the show is clean teaches family values. What are your thoughts on this show?

I love the old Beaver reruns. I believe it is more for nostalgic reasons than any other reason. I was a kid watching this & my home was run by violence. This let me sit in a dream land for the 1/2 hour it ran, alone & in a fantasy, that they were true, & other kids lived life with loving parents. The world could not be all bad.
Thanks June, Ward, Wally & the Beav !

I like the show. And yes, it taught what good, clean family morals should be. Moms don't stay home now and take care of the kids and have a hot meal on the table when dad comes home from work! I think that throughout the years, family morals have gone out with the trash.

I grew up in the fiftys and my aunt did that, would no be seen without heels and I had to wear a suite and tie to church, and other kids birthday partys, boy some fun go to a party and the last thing you heard was " and don't get your good clothes dirty, and if you come home with a hole it's time for tea" Tea is what my mother called taking a switch to us.

It represents a time long past. But it did not reflect the truth for that time. TV in the 50's and long after never showed the suffering in the ghettos, or in any non middle class white America. Any minorities shown were the happy go lucky train porters or servants. Ricky Ricardo was a breakthrough believe it or not.

I'm an adult too - and I still enjoy watching it. It's nice to watch something that you're not going to find anything to be offended about. I also love the old wisdom of Gus!
It must have been great to be a kid back then when you could literally run the neighborhood/town and not have to worry about anything bad happening to you. At least nothing so bad that your Dad couldn't fix it!

I grew up with the show.
And I loved it.
In those days we did wear a coat and tie to dinner.
Yes it teaches values
(by the way if you pay close attention, the house that Beaver lived in is the same one Marcus Welby lived in)

i think like commenting on the concern really than the poem immediately. ultimately our success or failure will be latest in our childrens and what we see round us as social norms. If we can develop respectful toddlers, who're self positive yet nevertheless in a position to ensure themselves in attitude then our artwork is executed. What you're declaring is a systemic failure. I 1/2 believe Milieu that the region isn't new. contained in the previous violent abuse will be hidden in the kinfolk less than the banner of "keep the kinfolk mutually." truthfully this way of abuse ought end. further contained in the previous homosexuality became so disregarded that we allowed marriages to ensue that were detrimental to all activities in contact. even with the undeniable fact that the topics of the previous have not gone away purely through being extra liberal. in certain situations they have purely come to gentle. once contained in the gentle we've the probability to analyze our presuppositions and locate new options. in certain we've the probability to guage. i do not recommend judging the detrimental, yet enable's now seem at what we extremely desire our society to be. we can now choose the positives really than being judgmental in a narrow way. "even with is actual, even with is noble, even with is sweet, even with is organic, even with is gorgeous, even with is admirable—if something is astonishing or praiseworthy—imagine about such issues."

Very good values and morals. We could all learn something from this show.
Plus, if Eddie Haskell is as bad as your kids' friends get - then consider yourself lucky.

sure, the show was good back in the fifties when american life was like that...maybe that why some people still like that show to this day, dreaming of a way of life that no longer exists...lol, then again, shows based on todays lifestyle is kinda screwed up, isn't it?
