Everyone Missed These Hilarious ‘Leave It To Beaver’ Bloopers

A Look at Wally – Wally Cleaver was played by actor Tony Dow. He was more than just an older brother of Beaver, he introduced many people to the struggles of teenage life. Many of the issues he faced were relatable to those of the time and still today.

When you look at the Wally Cleaver character, you can’t help but appreciate how warm and honest it was. Many people still consider him as the quintessential older brother.

Tony Dow got the job after Paul Sullivan, who played Wally in the pilot episode experienced a growth spurt and outgrew the role quickly.

June Cleaver Has a Scar – When you look at June Cleaver, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Most people think of her as being the iconic mother and wife of that era.

She was always a very calm and respectful member of the household, which is really in contrast with how many people portray that role in modern-day sitcoms.

If you look closely enough, however, you may just notice that she has a surgical scar on her neck. That is one of the reasons why she typically wore pearls. She also wore high heels, and that was to maintain some additional height over top of her sons, who continued to grow during the show.

The Boys Did Get Along – It is obvious that Jerry Mathers and Tony Dow were well-bonded with each other. Mathers even called him the ‘perfect big brother’ in a 2006 interview.

He went on to say: “He’s the champion basketball player, football player. He does everything right. He’s a huge letterman. He gets A’s on all his papers. Everyone loves him.”
