Can you name all these pals of Wally and Beaver from Leave It to Beaver?
The Cleavers sure had a lot of buddies!
NBC/Universal
Leave It to Beaver was originally called It's a Small World at one point in its development. The very idea of basing a primetime television show from the perspective of children was a novel idea in 1957.
Wally and Theodore Cleaver were hardly the only adolescents in the spotlight.
The idyllic sitcom featured a large cast of young actors to play classmates, best friends, rivals and crushes. Beaver had some elder pals, too.
Gee, let's see if you remember all these minor characters. Good luck!

11/11…Gee Wally! A Wonderful show that continues to transcend! Such wonderful memories of Wally and The Beaver! Better than the garbage, networks try to ram down our throats!
Got ‘em all. Some I wasn’t sure until I saw the names. The one about his teacher’s name was tricky because he had teachers with two of the names (in different grades).
11/11. Easy peasy. They could have made it a little tougher by adding Beaver’s friends Richard or Gilbert in the quiz. Oh well, sad to hear about Tony Dow passing.
