Did you know the first television series to show a toilet was "Leave it to Beaver" in 1952? This use to be my favorite show back in the '50's. Such a perfect family who were so interesting. I use to have a crush on Wally but so did most of the girls my age. Did you like the program and watch it regularly?

I remember that show it was one of my favourite shows too, eddy Hasket, what a legend, and I thought The beaver was rather cute too, it was a good wholesome family show, they don't make shows like that anymore.

I totally forgot about Eddie Haskell. He was a little monster....lol It was such a good series and you are right, they don't make programs like this any longer. Thanks for responding.

hello carolbee

i still watch "Leave It To Beaver". i get it sometimes on the TV Land Channel on cable. here in Nashville, it comes on channel 59. do not what channel it would be in your area. and i did not know that "Leave It To Beaver", was the first television series that showed a toilet, my guess for that would have been all in the family. haha archie and his toilet. haha but i guess that my favorite episode of "Leave It To Beaver", was when Beaver wouldn't eat his brussel sprouts. haha what was your favorite episode of the show?

have a beautiful afternoon.


myLot reputation of 93/100. RLFinNash (5720)  5 years ago

btw, i think Wally grew up to become a police officer out in Los Angeles or somewhere like that. you can probably research that on the internet. take care.


myLot reputation of 99/100. carolbee (7684)   ranked 13 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  5 years ago

I had so many favorite episodes that I can't remember any of them this morning. I've seen Wally on various shows throughout the years but don't know if he was a police officer. Haven't seen any re-runs of the show in years. Thanks for responding and thanks for reading this brainless response.....lol

I remember watching this show too. The family was so perfect that it was truly intriguing - my family seemed a total mess in comparison. Wally was okay - I think I had crushes from other shows on at the time but for the life of me can't think of one... Although I have to admit since I always went for the bad boys when I got to my teens, Eddy was probably the most interesting. I may be in the minority and sticking my neck out here, but here goes...I COULD NOT stand the Beaver, made me gag, was too sickening cute/precocious for words, -- just my (humble)opinion haha... I should do a search to see what these guys on the show are up to now. Thanks for the memory!...Whit


myLot reputation of 99/100. carolbee (7684)   ranked 13 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  5 years ago

I thought the Beaver was cute but really liked Wally's looks. Our family was also not like the Cleaver's and I was always comparing the two families. Thanks for responding.

I remember watching the reruns of Leave it to Beaver as I wasn't born until 1976. I did think it was a good show. That is an interesting fact about the first show to show a toliet.


myLot reputation of 99/100. carolbee (7684)   ranked 13 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  5 years ago

Thinking way back in time, I don't recall seeing a toilet on any tv show. Things were so different in the '50's. Like what's so bad about seeing a toilet? lol Thanks for responding.

I didn't know that about the toilet. I am not sure if I watched them when I was little or just watched the reruns but I can remember thinking Wally was very cute. I don't watch it too much any more.


myLot reputation of 99/100. carolbee (7684)   ranked 13 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  5 years ago

It was such a cute program. I believed that's how "real" families lived and laughed. I was wrong! Thanks for responding.

I wasn't born when the show was on, but I have watched the re runs on t.v and loved it. I love watching older shows, I find them at times better then shows today.


myLot reputation of 99/100. carolbee (7684)   ranked 13 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  5 years ago

What they need to show, along with repeats, would be the original commercials in black and white. Those were basic but interesting. Thanks for responding.

I remember watching Leave it to Beaver also, but I was born in the 70's and can't recall much of it. I'm not sure how many years it actually aired when I was able to remember seeing it.


myLot reputation of 99/100. carolbee (7684)   ranked 13 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  5 years ago

All 3 of our kids were born in the '70's and I have no clue if they have ever watched the program. I thought it was interesting that a toilet couldn't be shown on tv. It's a part of life...lol Thanks for responding.


myLot reputation of 94/100. stephcjh (27638)   ranked 148 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  5 years ago

I've seen some episodes but it may have been some rerun shows. I know what you mean about the toilet. I wish that was all we had to worry about seeing on tv these days. There is alot of vulagarity and filth now. I don't like to watch much television anymore because of it, but every now and then I get to see Mamas Family and Andy Griffith show and Alice at Mel's Diner. I really like those.

I did not know that! What crazy trivia! I used to love that show! I know it was a bit before my time, but my brother and I used to watch that every day along with the Beverly Hillbillies and some other shows. We didn't have cable and they ended up being some of our favorite shows!


myLot reputation of 99/100. carolbee (7684)   ranked 13 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  5 years ago

Yep, that's some odd trivia. There were so many good shows on during the '50's that were family oriented and fun to watch even in black and white. Thanks for responding.

I loved that show. LOL we are showing our age. I also had a crush on Wally. He was so cute. I went to Universal Studio in Ca. They showed us where they taped that show. Also the Munsters. Remember them? 1313 Monkingbird Lane. Loved all those old shows.


myLot reputation of 99/100. carolbee (7684)   ranked 13 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  5 years ago

Oh yeah I sure do remember the Munsters. Lily, Yvonne DeCarlo, recently passed away. We've been to Universal also and that was a fun tour. Thanks for responding.

Hey watch it, I had a crush on Wally even though he was too old for me. I also was in love with 'Little Joe' from Bananza who later moved on to another of my favorites, Little House on the Prarie :) Michael Landon...

Ozzie & Harriet - I was in love with Ricky Nelson and even though I was married (as was he) when I heard the news report he had died I cried.


myLot reputation of 99/100. carolbee (7684)   ranked 13 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  5 years ago

So many of the girls were in love with Wally. What a doll. Today he looks so different and has lost some of that gorgeous hair. Michael Landon was an overall hunk and Ricky Nelson a sexpot. You have good taste. By the way, Wally wasn't too old for me....lol (smiling). Thanks for responding.


myLot reputation of 98/100. byfaithonly (6284)   ranked 3,788 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  5 years ago

LOL I'm jealous of course according to my mother all 3 were too old for me but guess what - overall hunk will be on in 50 minutes here and I will be watching 2 hours of Little House :) my nearly every day routine :)
