Lucas McCain and Ward Cleaver are two of TV's most famous dads. Though Ward didn't fight outlaws every week and Lucas never wore a cardigan, they shared many similarities — especially when it came to teaching life lessons.
Here are quotes said by the iconic fathers from The Rifleman and Leave it to Beaver. Can you guess who said each one?

Had these fathers, though fictional, been able to raise all children everywhere, to quote Louis Armstrong, what a wonderful world.

11/12 i missed #7 i dont remember ward saying that what episode ?
I agree, Hollie. I just can't hear Ward using a tone like that.
I have an easier time hearing Ward use 'snappy' than I do Lucas

Woah!
You got 11 out of 12 - That score would make anyone smile. Great job! Bummed that I missed #4. I'd be willing to bet that Ward said something very similar at one point. But, I'll settle for 11 of 12.
12/12 well Beaver and Rifleman are two of my favorite shows.
Nice
