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?
-
"Believe it or not, I was your age once."
-
"Everything must be done according to the law."
-
"Sometimes when people don't understand something, they think it's to be feared or hated. That's wrong, but it takes a long time to learn differently."
-
"You know what happens to boys who tell lies?"
-
"Save your breath for cooling your soup!"
-
"When you make a mistake, admit it. If you don't, you only make matters worse."
-
"Tomorrow you'd better be ready with some very snappy answers."
-
"The way you are right now, you'd go looking in a dark closet for a black cat you knew wasn't there."
-
"I guess I was so anxious to be right that I…I kind of forgot what it felt like when I was a little boy."
-
"Money is nothing but paper and green ink. The thing that gives it value is how it's earned."
-
"The older you get, the more questions there are without answers."
-
"As you go through life, try to improve yourself – not prove yourself."

You got 11 out of 12 - That score would make anyone smile. Great job! I knew I would do well because I think Ward is one of the best TV fathers ever so it would be easy to identify his sayings. But I did miss #7, that one sounded more like a Lucas McCain. Oh well.
8/12
10/12
10 out of 12. Not too bad.
Perfection O for 12🥸🥸🥸
9 & 10 (when I was a little boy & Money) got me...
I assumed that one 'turn of phrase' was older and that another was newer than they actually were

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
12/12
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
Geeze Louise! I did poorly today, only 7/12.
