Would you watch a Leave It to Beaver spinoff about The Mondellos?
How about an entire Beaver Cinematic Universe?
Let's imagine, for a few moments, that you're a hotshot producer at ABC. You have the power to choose which shows get made and which are abandoned at the pitch stage. Money is not an option, as you have the company's full support and resources on your side.
Your show Leave It to Beaver is one of the network's most successful. So how do you capitalize? One day, you find on your desk a script for a pilot episode of a new series. The show is called The Mondellos and it features characters from Leave It to Beaver.
The main focus of the show is young Larry Mondello. Child actor Rusty Stevens was a highlight in the 68 episodes of Leave It to Beaver he appears in, and the fans are ready for more.
Joining Stevens is Madge Blake, reprising her role as Larry Mondello's mother, Margaret. In addition to Leave It to Beaver, Blake is well-remembered for her work as Aunt Harriet on Batman and as Flora MacMichael on The Real McCoys.
Larry's father makes one brief appearance in the episode "School Play." Let us know in the comments section below whether you'd recast that character.
New to The Mondellos are Larry's until-now-unseen siblings. He's got an older sister that we never met on Leave It to Beaver. Larry also mentions a younger brother, and he's got an older brother who's grown up and married.

sit-down comedy than an edge of your seat type show.
I’d like to see what they’d come up with using the old show for a modern audience or an old audience that’s still alive.
I see the article they did a few weeks ago featuring Stephen Talbot was removed. It shows a
"This page does not exist " message.
Last year they had someone that popped into a few articles about the Waltons claiming to be Kami Cotler( Elizabeth) on the series.
It is curious though going back to the LITB story that Mr. Talbot would just happen to read the article. Leave 5 messages and leave. I think MeTV should have let the article remain. Not sure as to the authenticity of the posts by someone claiming to be Gilbert. Anyone could create a username and do the same thing.
Never was a watcher of LITB, and have no idea what a Mondello even is.
