Jerry Mathers was a member of the California Air National Guard ( US Air Force Reserve) 1966-1969. Tom Selleck also joined as member of the California Army National Guard (US Army Reserves) 1967-1973. On the face of it, there is nothing wrong with that. Both of these men served our country - they are to be honored for that, as they should be. At anytime, these units could have been called to active duty and deployed. One or two Air Guard units were called up during the war in Vietnam. Of those who chose to ‘run across the border’ into Canada to avoid the draft, many have since expressed regret.

So…why was Theodore called Beaver. And….how did the name of the show become “Leave it to Beaver.” Never explained in this clip.
