[@thomaszinegoslee5322]

I love this Family Show Good clean Shows to watch. Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏

Frank Bank was the financial advisor for every single adult on the show. He invested their money and allowed them more security. He was a very smart financial advisor, who was honest to a fault.

[@shettrick]

Well, not quite but he was a bond broker for several of the cast

[@kevinbrown1437]

i think in real.life he was in that business

[@microsoftuser4303]

who cares

[@LB-gz3ke]

I like this one. The more cast used, the better. Plus the teacher, Patty Dukes TV dad, awesome. I always like him.

[@shawnmichaelduncan5951]

He was Beavers teacher in one sesson. I believe he was after Miss Landers. The actress died couple years before the reunion. Heavy smoker

[@dawndellarocco2362]

Loved him.

[@kenblair6622]

​@@shawnmichaelduncan5951he appeared very early on in the first season. Never actually showed him in a classroom

[@schallrd1]

Every show is like a reunion.

[@the111experience]

Thanks for sharing this priceless GEM, Scott!

[@the111experience]

p.s. --- looks like "Melissa" is dumb-old Judy Hensler's daughter?

[@magg9113]

GREAT episode!!!!

[@camwilliams2827]

Never saw Richard as an adult. I remember he had braces on the original show. I remember the episode where Richard and Beav were sharing a expensive jacket back and forth and Ward caught them lifting the jacket past the window up to Beavs room. Good episode

[@kawaiikawaiianimegirl4144]

He's in the movie and the episode where Wally is forcing Kelly to swim too

Richard Correll, who played Richard Rickover, is the son of Charles Correll. Charles Correll voiced the character of Andy Brown on the Amos ‘n’ Andy radio show.

[@Mezzomusicltd]

Two full minutes of theme song and opening credits. This must be a record in broadcast history.

[@shettrick]

True, very long, and remember Still the Beaver was on Disney Channel when there were no commercials, so they actual shows, not counting the opening, were still longer than the next three seasons on TBS

[@MarkSmith-ok1yi]

I just figured out that Eddie’s son on the show is his real son.

[@scotthettrick9125]

Yep, both of Eddie's sons on this series - Freddie and Bomber - are real-life sons of Ken Osmond - Eric and Christian

[@johnnotgalt2697]

Scott Hettrick RIP Ken Osmond, and thanks, Scott, for your diligent work in making sure we all see him again playing Eddie to a tee as an adult!

[@lindathorpe3299]

Loves this show yet

[@greggabel7238]

Yes, Freddie Haskell is Eddie Haskell's real life son I mean Eric Osmond is Ken Osmond's real life son

[@JENDALL714]

The Munsters live at the end of the block, you can see their house in the end credits.

[@gloriapinskerportraits4801]

Yes, you're right, I saw it during a Universal tour.

[@marshahanson5870]

I remember seeing a clip of Ward proposing to June. Haven’t found it yet.

[@shettrick]

I don't remember that -- it would have come before the original 1960s show, so it could not have been a clip from the old show. Therefore, they would have had to hire new young actors to play young Ward and June to re-create that proposal.

[@marshahanson5870]

Scott Hettrick Great casting as they looked just like them. June jumped up and down when Ward proposed and her long pig tail jumped with her.

[@247drycleaners9]

@@marshahanson5870 No such scene ever happened. You must be thinking of another show.

[@Lumpy63]

I do remember a flashback episode of sorts featuring younger actors who played young Ward at a USO show and an actress playing young June who is there serving food and drinks when they supposedly meet...though I remember in the original LITB shows they met much earlier, possibly high school years or early college...

[@lindaanders8796]

I’ve seen the flashback with different actors playing them when they met at the USO where June was selling war bonds. Aunt Martha tried to keep them apart.

[@belgiumgirl8970]

I’d love if “Judy Hensler” would make an appearance

[@shettrick]

Wait no more - I posted this a few weeks ago... kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5K2iaeBh7yCers

[@robertdubs9466]

I was today years old when I learned "Richard" from Leave it to Beaver was the co-creator of "Hannah Montana" on the Disney Channel

[@shettrick]

Directed many TV shows as well.

[@alinebrushett6831]

The only thing that bothers me is they didn't have a picture of Ward and the family together.

[@shettrick]

Yes but oh my they have so many loving tributes to Ward in so many of these shows -

[@cami42874]

That Eddie still a class clown

[@JENDALL714]

Mr. Pomfriit still teaching.

[@tracynance2743]

Yes!!! The George Feeny of his day!

[@gg23109]

This family would get dressed up to go to the grocery store

[@shettrick]

It wasn't just the Cleavers - every family got dressed nicely to go to school events, dinner at a restaurant, concerts, etc. At the time of the original Leave it to Beaver series of the 1950s-60s, everyone dressed nicely and men wore suit, tie and top hat to go to baseball games and fly on airplanes.

Patty Dukes dad...

[@shettrick]

??? Patty Duke's father is John Patrick Duke, an Irish cab driver and handyman. She married John Astin of The Addams Family, who is also not in this episode. Maybe I'm missing what you are referring to?

[@julieletford5695]

[@shettrick]

@@julieletford5695 Ah, the guest actor in this episode also previously played the father of Patty Lane on the Patty Duke Show. Got it now, thanks

[@chrisrose6014]

I thought Miss Landers was the grammar school teacher.

[@shettrick]

Miss Landers (Sue Randall) was new to Grant Avenue Elementary School and was Beaver's teacher in 2nd-4th seasons. The actress suffered for many years with various injuries and ailments and died of cancer in 1984 at age 49 before this episode was produced. The Principal in this episode of Still the Beaver, Miss Canfield (Diane Brewster), was the first teacher we saw for Beaver during his second grade in the entire first season of Leave it Beaver. She was also a new teacher to Grant Avenue.

[@chrisrose6014]

@@shettrick then where did this teacher crop up? I believe there was a male teacher for beaver's class near the end of the series and while the name used in this episode might've been the same the actor sure isn't!

[@shettrick]

@@chrisrose6014 Oh you mean the male teacher here, Mr. Bloomgarden - the name seen and mentioned multiple times. No connection to original series, where the male teachers Beaver had at Grant Avenue Grammar School (all only in final two seasons) were Mr. Blair/actor Wendall Holmes (new 6th/7th grade teacher of math and history first half of 5th season); Mr. Bailey/actor Ed Prentiss (6th/7th grade teacher of English); and a few others, Misters Colins, Watson and Thompson. So, even though this Mr. Bloomgarden makes comments that make it sound like he's been at the school since Beaver was a student, neither that teacher nor the actor William Schallert was on the original series from 1957/63 (remember this revival series takes place more than 20 years after original Leave it to Beaver series, so Miss Canfield has since been promoted to Principal and many other new/different teachers started working at Grant Avenue Grammar School.)

[@miked6335]

@@shettrick Mr Bloomgarden shows up in at least one original episode. He breaks up the fight caused by Beaver's short pants.

Stephen Talbot had a very distinguished career as an award-winning documentary filmmaker until his retirement last year, and is still making important films

[@jaredjlinden]

Stephen Talbot didn’t feel that an appearance on this show would help his career as a filmmaker. Plus, he thought the quality of the new series wasn’t very good. He did do a video reminiscing with Jerry Mathers in the last year or two, and I believe it’s the first time he’s had anything to do with the show since the original airings.

[@larryshaver3568]

even funnier than the original

[@davidjustice5805]

Weird

[@fjccommish]

This show was horrible.

[@shettrick]

Thanks for your opinion which is valid for you even though it is different than the opinion of the millions of viewers who made it the second most popular TV movie on network television in 1983 and the hundreds of thousands who watched new episodes every other week on The Disney Channel for a year, where it was their highest-rated original series in 1984-85, and kept it running for three more seasons on TBS Superstation from 1986-89 where it reached 101 total episodes, the equivalent of 8-12 seasons of shows by today's standards of 8-12 new episodes per season for many original scripted series. I didn't think Still the Beaver/The New Leave it to Beaver was anywhere close to the quality of the original 1950s-60s black-and-white series, but I still think it was very enjoyable to see almost all the original actors return for a revival series 20-25 years later, something you didn't see back then but which has been copied many times since.

​​@@fjccommishI guess you missed my very first words that your point is valid regardless of views of others

[@shettrick]

@@fjccommish I guess you missed the first few words of my reply where I said you're opinion is valid, regardless of anyone else's. Yes, there are always people who don't like even the highest-quality programs. But I posted these 101 episodes in their entirety as originally broadcast and without commercials for the tens of thousands of people who do enjoy it (12,000-plus have viewed this episode alone), including the cast members and their children and grandchildren since it has never been seen by anyone anywhere for 35 years and can only be seen here on my channel.

[@fjccommish]

@@shettrick I think you're terrific for posting the episodes. The show, however, is not good.
