Not if we can ring in Superman. (The Big Squeeze)

In "The Big Squeeze," Hugh Beaumont plays the part of Dan Grayson, a man being blackmailed by someone who knows Grayson once spent time in prison. The blackmail scheme comes to light when Dan Grayson is named Citizen of the Year by The Daily Planet. In this clip, Clark Kent first learns about Grayson's past. Aline Towne has the role of Peg Grayson. Towne also played Lara in "Superman On Earth." Tim Grayson is played by Brad Morrow. Morrow appeared in many television shows of the 50s, but left acting in the early 60s. [The Big Squeeze - Season 2, 1953.]

Back when shame actually existed.......

[@jamesharris37]

That's actor Hugh Beaumont who plays Ward Cleaver, Beaver's father, on Leave It to Beaver.

[@jeffersonrundell7540]

So, Ward Cleaver had a secret life. Eddy Haskell probably had him pegged all along.

[@Truzak]

It's Ward Cleaver!

[@johnrobinsoniii4028]

That’s “MISTER” Cleaver to you!(smile)(lol)

[@anon3741]

Hugh Beaumont ... what a great guy. In his last years, he used to go around and cut peoples grass with a hand mower for free. He just was a very nice man and loved to help people.

[@garyv2196]

False news, he used a gas-powered one.

[@jeannehall6546]

“No thank you.”? How many kids would use that polite a language today?

[@DavidBFox]

Thank you Jim, for posting these clips. I'm loving your choices!

[@thomascollins4325]

Back when right and wrong meant something.

[@damienthorne861]

I know right?

[@BrianBattles]

Everything was great in the past, now everything is awful. Let's all jump off a cliff!

[@Grim2]

It's shocking we're no longer seeing this kind of Superman anymore.

[@bugen5]

Damn, it would've been so awesome if the boy was named Richard...

[@jimnolt-TAC]

Well, there is a Aunt Harriet in "Shot In The Dark."

[@13thwho]

And Robert Lowery, the guest star in “The Deadly Rock”, played Batman in a 1949 serial.

[@desiree6256]

Recall someone mentioning in the past that the mother there played lara-el kal-el's mother

[@billwhelpley6825]

How many problems would disappear if we could just ring in Superman

[@michaellinhart7505]

Mr. Grayson? 🐦

Leave It To Superman

[@renecorrea1008]

Thought bubble above Clark: “Dan’s wife looks awfully familiar!”

[@MuzixMaker]

LOL!

[@battlejack1863]

Hugh beaumont of leave it to beaver fame

[@milesj179]

The SECRET 2nd family of Ward Cleaver. Wally & Theodore have a half brother. 😂

[@jamesb.9155]

I can't help it. iI's still a great show! That's the kid from The Rifleman, I think and the Dad from Leave it to Beaver!

[@jimnolt-TAC]

You're right about Hugh Beaumont, but the boy is Brad Morrow who was pretty busy in television during the 50s. I remember him from two color episodes of The Lone Ranger. Morrow died in 1997. The mother is Aline Towne who also placed Lara to Robert Rockwell's Jor-el in the first episode of Superman.

[@gregoryhainsworth2663]

However,Chuck Connors and Paul Fix did guest star in Superman episodes.

[@darylcheshire1618]

When I watched “The Untouchables” I was surprised to see younger versions of Edward Platt (the chief of CONTROL), Dwayne Hickman of Dobie Gillis, the professor on Gilligan’s Island”, and a few more I can’t remember right now. These actors were either on the payroll or some sort of retainer. They were usually villains.

[@RealBigBadJohn]

Baylor School salutes alumnus Hugh Beaumont. 👍☑

[@richard63]

A much better choice. Good one, Clark.

[@pascalguerandel8181]

Gee golly gee wally... Beaver!

[@larryaldrich4351]

I think Hugh and George appeared together in a army film about the hazards of VD to military personnel.

[@jimnolt-TAC]

It was Robert Lowery with George Reeves in that training film.

[@larryaldrich4351]

Mea culpa.

[@bridgetgregory3876]

Ward Cleaver...Bigamist😂😂😂😂

[@user-ou5hz2sp3s]

Knowing how Clark is always able to get in touch with Superman, did Perry White Jimmy Olsen or Lois Lane ever ask Clark how he does it?

[@jimnolt-TAC]

One time Jimmy and Lois decided to follow Clark out of Perry's office when Clark said he was going for Superman. When they looked out into the hallway, no one was there. "Could he have gotten the elevator that quickly," Jimmy wondered. "Maybe the store room," Lois suggested. But by the time she opened the door, Superman was already out the window.

[@SkyKingofMaricopa]

​@@jimnolt-TAC What episode, Jim?

[@dont-want-no-wrench]

[@pisstinpete4700]

Dont get your evening suit mixed up with your daytime suit

[@garyv2196]

Alis, Ward Meat Cleaver.

[@sarahostrinsky4595]

Lol

[@francisclause9307]

Darn!!! Superman would be screwed now days!!! No more phone booths, but he could slip into a porta John. Better douse himself with some Old Spice before he comes out!!!

[@erichanastacio9695]

I wonder if they're related to Dick Grayson.

[@alanstrong55]

Just not like Hugh Beaumont to play such an unfavorable part in any show. He just got stung and needed help from someone of authority to get out of a fix.

[@thehaughtcorner]

He played quite a few "heavies" in earlier days.

[@108Marycelestial]

Fake news. 🍌
