Everyone Missed These Hilarious ‘Leave It To Beaver’ Bloopers

Tony and Jerry were more than on-screen brothers, they were best friends in real life and continued to have that friendship for a lifetime. Mathers even expressed his deepest feelings upon the death of Dow in 2002.

He said: “He was not only my brother on TV, but in many ways in life as well. Tony leaves an empty space in my heart that won’t be filled.”

They showed a Toilet – Believe it or not, it was taboo for any show to show inside of the bathroom. It was just a part of the home that they didn’t want to bring into that aspect of our entertainment.

In one episode, however, Wally is carrying a toilet seat and that was a groundbreaking moment. Although the entire toilet wasn’t shown, it was a move forward in 1950 and the networks allowed it.

No Laughing – The creators of the show didn’t want outrageous laughter taking place. They’d rather just have light chuckles. That helped to shape the atmosphere of the family on the show.

They wanted the comedy to flow naturally from the characters and their interaction. Tony Dow put it this way: “If any line got too much of a laugh, they’d cut it.”

It’s always nice to look back on our history and Leave It to Beaver certainly is a moment out of history that all of us can appreciate.
