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!

lumpy rutherford looked a little bit like lt. cmdr data of star trek next generation. Burt mustin was all over 1960s TV shows, the cartoon character Cecil turtle modeled after him, anyway the woke culture would cancel anything like this if made now gee wally just like Burt wards gosh Bruce of Batman.

11/11 One of the few METV quizzes I got 100 %. So sad to hear the news about Tony Dow.

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.

The show first aired within a few weeks of my birth in August 1957. I still watch it whenever I can, that connection is as strong as ever!
