[@CaptnCrunch247]

That's crazy! This movie was released the year I was born, but the show was long before my time. Yet it has me very emotional as well. Likely because the original series was a favorite of my late father. Every time I watch the re-runs, it brings memories of my pop.

[@deborahf.5671]

The scene with Beaver walking through the house, reminiscing, especially hearing and seeing Hugh Beaumont as he reminisced, moved me to tears. Seeing some of the old footage and seeing everyone older here, with families of their own...hard not to be touched by that. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. ❤💕💖

[@Hal-uq5qv]

Those flashback clips integrating with their present dilemma in order to solve their problems was so emotional and done well. There is a satisfaction in knowing what we, as the viewers, have seen in the origins of the show come to a full circle 20 years later when this movie was made, as the boys have now taken on the wisdom of their father being grown men themselves. I like that kind of arch in a story's characters, especially for just a sitcom. I'm glad they decided to do this years later because it meant Ward's lessons were not in vain. And that we get to see the torch being passed on.

[@toddwalker4301]

Hugh Beaumont was my favorite TV father. I wish my own father had been more like him.

[@albatani27]

I used to wonder why they had Ward pass away in 1977 as opposed to closer to Hugh Beaumont's actual passing, say 1981 or even 82 when he died. Then I realized the family would still be grief stricken so soon after and the movie would have had too melancholy a feel. The narrative needed that 6 year gap to have allowed the family to move on.

When you say all six seasons, you must be referring to the original black and white TV series of the 1950s-60s.

As a very depressed woman of 21 years, I come from a divorced household and I just hate life so much that I often think of ending it all. The way our world is and the ugly politics of this country makes me sick. The only thing that keeps me going (for now) is tuning into stations like MeTV to see old shows like Beaver, Andy Griffith, My Three Sons, The Rifleman and others. The stuff on TV today should be criminal but sadly represents the times we live in. I truly wish I could have lived back in the 50's which seemed like such a peaceful time with good family values and love of God and country. Thank you for posting this movie Russell, I really enjoy this.

[@billwenham]

@@radhikapamula4380 I completely understand. The only thing that kept me going last year was revisiting old classic shows that I grew up. It's a comforting feeling to escape back to when life didn't always seem like shit. For my birthday last year I bought the complete series of the original Leave It To Beaver. My fiancé didn't grow up with all the old shows I did (unless he happened to catch them on Nick at Nite - whereas I saw them all as reruns before their shift to cable). But he knew what last year was doing to me and really supported my new addiction of classic TV. Also just got the complete series of Maude and The Jeffersons and have been watching lots of Three's Company (and downloading everything I can think of that will never be on DVD that I wish to revisit). I hope this year brings you some much needed comfort!

[@radhikapamula4380]

@@billwenham I bought the Leave it To Beaver complete series too and someone stole it off our porch before I got home. Is it worth buying again? I read some reviews on Amazon that said it is poor quality and has commercials. Not sure if that's true or not. I have close to 100 Beavers on my DVR but I know someday when it fails, I'll lose them all. I also was going to buy the complete series of either The Rifleman, Adam 12 or Walker Texas Ranger but they are extremely expensive. I do own the complete series of Andy Griffith (not the colored episodes though, YUCK) the complete Everybody Loves Raymond series and the complete Incredible Hulk series with Bill Bixby and also the first four seasons of Dallas with Jock Ewing on it. After he died, I didn't like the show as much. I hope you have a great year too! Oh and btw, I have Season 1 of Leave it to Beaver and I believe the first 2 seasons are the best. I'm a big Larry Mondelo fan and once he left the show I really didn't like Beaver's friends at all. Wally had the better friends, especially Eddie!

Thanks so much for posting the reunion movie for the original series, which I still enjoy. I watched "Still the Beaver" when it first aired on CBS and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was great watching June, Wally, the Beaver, and their family circle adjust to life in the 1980s, but it moved me to tears (as it still does) to see the movie travel back to the 1950s and '60s to pay tribute to Ward. Surely, June was a nurturing and calming presence for Wally and Beaver, but it was Ward who provided a foundation and a moral compass to help the boys meet life's challenges. And he didn't even hesitate to discipline his sons when it counted. RIP to Barbara Billingsley, Hugh Beaumont, Tony Dow, and most of the supporting actors associated with both the original series and the 1983 movie. Glad Jerry Mathers is still with us:)

Eddie was great, so over the top! as for Beavr, he was an awkward teen so they decided to close the series

[@katscully]

Thank you for including the year. Most who post classic videos rarely include dates.🥂

[@shettrick]

You bet!

[@fivesfilms]

I’m glad I watched this. I saw it many years ago when I was a kid and watch the show every week on MeTV. Ward was always my favorite tv dad.

I used to watch MeTV every morning. They had the cartoon show then Leave it to 🦫Beaver🦫. Since we dumped Cable-TV and began using a digital antenna, there were quite a few decent channels. Sadly though over the last year or two, those really good channels were changed. Now where MeTV was they dumped MeTV and swapped IonTV, and where IonTV was now has Defy & Grit and then THREE QVC/Home Shopping network channels! Oh boy! MeTV had some amazing programs, classic 📺TV📺shows that many of us grew up watching, or spent years watching the syndicated re-runs. I really enjoyed that channel. Every season change we seem to get a "new" 📺TV📺station lineup. And so far they've been horrible! We lost another good channel and got another QVC type Shopping channel, this one for jewelry, jewels, rings, and other "accessories". Again, YIPPEE!

I watch it also on MeTv comes on 7am to 8am.

I just found this myself! Watching it for the first time!

[@runningkirkwa2934]

[@ladywolverine1828]

Thank you for sharing. One of my favorite shows growing up.

[@andyinoregon]

Superb job on this posting, Scott. I remember recording this movie on my 1978 Sanyo Betacord machine that must have weighed 50 pounds if it weighed an ounce.

[@gspendlove]

I had one of those!

[@mlk27743]

Thanks for reposting this movie - I had it on my external hard drive which failed (nooooooo) - so I am ever so grateful for you posting this - I do know some scenes have been cut/shortened to make time which can't be helped. But my eternal gratitude to you.

[@scotthettrick9125]

You're welcome, glad you enjoy. Yes, just a handful of clips from black-and-white series had to shortened a bit in order for KZbin to allow them, but every clip is still there

[@JordansMom769]

I thought I remembered a longer part at 14:22, Wally saying what are you doing on my bed? Beaver: thinking. Wally: why don't you think on your own bed? I taped this when it originally aired and must've watched it a dozen times. Wish I could find the whole movie without any scenes cut. Still good to see it again.

[@billwenham]

@@scotthettrick9125 Thank you for doing this. It actually helps so I know what was there so I can edit them back in. I appreciate your work in getting these uploaded!

[@scottmoore1614]

Wow! You included the TV Guide Close up...I’d all but forgotten about those! I used to love “the Guide”! As a matter of fact, my dad has a collection of Fall Preview issues dating back to the early 60s! I’d also pretty much forgotten the opening to CBS Saturday Night Movies! Very cool, sir!

[@ballpeenbaby]

Just like Frank Costanza

[@rickdickerson1204]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@lynnaelarson6784]

This brings back so many lifetime memories!! Formulating lifetime plans and making major decisions that direct your life in the right direction. Many memories come back to me and I feel like I personally know the Beaver and his family, small and adult. Thank you for sharing this on You Tube!! Lynnae Larson CT

[@maryomnes9445]

I have seen this movie over 3 times and I just love it. It brings back so many memories for me. I am now much older. Wally is just one year older than me. Meet him in person 4 years ago. He is still very handsome. Just love this show. 😍😍💘💘💘🙂🙂

[@Neal_Schier]

Thank you so much for posting these videos. I know it must have taken a great deal of time and effort to gather and edit them. Your dedication to this task is very much appreciated by all us who are fans of LITB.

[@shettrick]

Glad you like them!

[@captainjax_vs_games]

Wonderful sequel to the TV series 👍

[@AnthonyGarrison-vp7pd]

First of all the people that left a comment, I'm happy to say that I have not been the only one.❤ And Scott awesome thank you I am so glad that you caught this. I kept flipping out I'm like when did you get this, I did not even know this existed,my mother passed away in 1983 I guess I did do a little bit of hide and seek then. But why I was really excited Ken Osmond and Tony Dow just passed a while back, and though I loved the show. I think these two guys kind of had a slight edge over the rest of the characters. Let's face it Eddie Haskell could sell igloos to Eskimos. And Wally became like a great filter of things happening around him having to always take care of beaver. Deal with Eddie , lumpy, you know so he was so cool he did his own thing yet he had everybody's back. So this part in the movie was right on the money. Beaver I think a lot of his habits growing up you know putting worms in his pocket s and dead things to play with. I hope that doesn't wear off on his children maybe they will grow out of it. But I do have a lot of experience knowing about childhood stars etc. And I think he's another one he just needed a couple good of good scripts. Custom wrote. I mean people knows him as one way they just need to get to know him another way he's not the same person.😮 Thanks again Scott I hope I'm subscribed, 👍

[@shettrick]

You're welcome and thanks for the kind words. Good observations and thoughts and glad you enjoyed it.

[@rmoore1686]

I’ve watched Leave It To Beaver all of my life. I’m glad they made this movie. It’s very good.
