Leaver It to Beaver (1957-1963)

This television show is an oldie but a goody. This show is about a family, the Cleavers, that live in the 1950's. We all know that the historical aspect of this show is not correct, but during the time period of this show it brought smiles to the children and adults. My mother was born in 1962 and she remembers the reruns of this show while growing up, and all my aunts and uncles sitting in the living room watching Leave It to Beaver.

This show is a show that I highly enjoyed as a child. It is one of the shows that my mom allowed me to watch because, now, she has told me that the message at the end of the episodes was that parents care about their children and want them to learn from their mistakes and we should listen because they were in out shoes at some point in time. The show really emphasis the importance to listen to elders and respect them. Here are some reviews from people:

The summary of this entire show is that the youngest child, Theodore (Beaver), is a typical boy who enjoys having fun and does not think before he does something. Beaver has an older brother, Wallace (Wally). Wally represents the typical American teenager in this time period. Here is an episode that I highly enjoyed and hopefully will put a smile on people's faces. This episode is called The Haircut.

Beaver uses the language of a little kid, for instance he says "gressive" instead of "aggressive" and he comes up with "comebacks" to avoid disappointment from his parents or punishment. Every episode consist of a new adventure with a lesson at the end. There are some episodes where the parents, Ward and June, learn a lesson or two about parenting. This episode shows how the parents learn something about their parenting. 

Leave It to Beaver is now on Netflix. Please, watch an episode or two.
