Product Description

America's quintessential family returns with all 39 original, uncut episodes of Leave It to Beaver Season 2! Return to Mayfield for a warm welcome from its most charming family -- the Cleavers: wise pop Ward (Hugh Beaumont), resourceful mother June (Barbara Billingsley), curious older brother Wally (Tony Dow), and lovable, scruffy Theodore "Beaver" (Jerry Mathers). From building a boat to beating a bully to dealing with girls (cooties!), there's nothing the two Cleaver boys can't handle with a little luck and a lot of wholesome, homespun advice. Digitally remastered for optimum picture and audio quality, critics declare "…this 1957-1963 sitcom is as enjoyable today for its `50s nostalgia as it was then for its modern, understated humor" (David Bianculli, New York Daily News). Gee whiz!

Reviewed on 2008-07-17 SIMPLER TIMES, SIMPLER PROBLEMS These stories were offered on TV when a little kid's biggest problem was how to earn a "whole three dollars!" to buy someone a Christmas present, deal with the local bully, or go on a first date. They may not speak to today's kids, but they sure do to those of us old enough to remember a kid's life then. The actors have all settled into their roles very well in the 2nd season. The writing seemed better this season, too. I so hope that Season Three will be released to DVD. The show was well worth watching for the first four or five seasons, until the boys grew out of type of stories the writers were delivering. Maybe if the writers had grown with them, the series would have retained their appeal in the last couple of seasons. GIVE US SEASON THREE!!!

Reviewed on 2008-07-16 no more I don't think they will ever release more of the show. It's not that good anyway.

Reviewed on 2008-07-03 Oh Mrs. Cleaver, Won't Ya' Please Show Us the Beaver! If you're waiting for Universal to release the goods, you maybe waiting a long while. The word on Mapleton Drive (or Pine Street) is that sales aren't what the Universal suits wanted to see. How could they be, when you charge a suggested retail of $49.99 - CREEPS! Not even the 'Beav' is worth that much. And while I'm not much of a fan of the show, it had its "charming" moments; and was a foundation for situational comedy sitcoms. I'll give it that - and nothing more.

Reviewed on 2008-04-19 What is the hold up What is taking so long to get seasons 3 thru 6 out? It is in these years when Eddie Haskell gets older and starts to really become the snake we all loved. Episodes like Beaver making a face in the school picture and Beaver falling into the soup bowl billboard are included here. If universal is not going to do this, hopefully somebody else will.

Reviewed on 2008-04-18 Absolutely Fantastic! This is just a fantastic series that folks of all ages will enjoy! There are 39 episodes and every single one is entertaining and well done. I found it interesting that after my kids and I watched the first half of the modern "Leave it to Beaver" movie, the next night the kids voted to watch several episodes from this 2nd season (that they had already seen) instead of watching the 2nd half of the movie! And I agreed with them. What does that tell you?
