In loving memory of Tony Dow April 13, 1945-July 27, 2022 I've never had an older brother, but I consider Tony Dow as an older brother to me. Wally Cleaver is my favorite big brother in TV history. I watch _Leave It to Beaver_ religiously. Rest in heavenly peace, Tony Dow.

Wally was a great smart alec without being one. As far as an actor, his comedic timing is very underrated.

You have included one of Wally's greatest lines at 321: In arguing that he take over his parents' job to handle Beaver's problem, "Gee, Dad, you've been lecturing the Beaver for 13 years now, and he's still pretty stupid." Parents give silent agreement.

My crush was on the times he and everyone on there are from. A time we got to wear longer dresses, students weren't rioting, hippies didn't exist, America was strong and Americans loved their country. Not like things were in the later 1960's when I discovered and had a crush on this show.

Seasons 5&6 are two of my favorites, with Beaver’s loss of best friend Larry Mondelo and never really replaced him, Wally, Eddie and Lumpy to me became the shows focus, Wally was clearly the leader of the “Big 3” and they’ll all live on in television history!!

Terrific compilation, thanks! Tony Dow was so great. I cracked up when he tells Ward, "But gee, dad, you've been lecturing the Beaver for 13 years now, and he's still pretty stupid!" It's like the writers inserted a little in-joke about the whole premise of the series.

[@ericscottstevens]

Grew up watching every episode on reruns coming home after school in the early 1980s. This was timeless, wry humor, and plenty of life lessons from the brothers. Dow acted but had to learn the craft on the fly during the series,. Sometimes he can be seen in dialogue with Mathers lip-syncing Beavers lines. But Dow worked to get better with coaches and practiced his lines dutifully not to let down the production. I thought he did well with Wally and never seemed to be awkward in front of the camera. Hey Wally...... Hey Beav......
