————————————————–
The 1950s-1960s family sitcom “Leave It To Beaver” had never been made available to fans via any kind of major studio release on home video throughout all these many years of home-video formats (Beta, VHS, LD, or DVD) — until the long-awaited date of November 22, 2005, when Universal Studios Home Entertainment released “Leave It To Beaver: The Complete First Season” on DVD.
And the first 39 “Beaver” episodes survey fair terrific here. The video quality for these black-and-white programs is extremely grand, and the audio is very righteous too (by procedure of the very agreeable and clean-sounding Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtracks that faithfully reproduce each episode’s unusual Mono audio) .
Thankfully, Universal has done a bang-up job with the digital transfers here, and these shows (which were originally photographed on film, not videotape) gape and sound extraordinary on these DVDs.
There is, however, a obliging deal of pleasing “film grain” contained within a lot of these episodes, but I’m assuming that is simply inherent to the type of film stock that was old for this series. The grain isn’t very distracting (at least I don’t have a major scrape with the grain speckles that exist here) . Interestingly, though, I’ve noticed that many scenes in these episodes don’t seem to have any “grain” in them at all, while other scenes hold a lot more. The “outdoor” shots examine almost completely grain-free.
Another very heavenly thing to me personally is the fact that all these DVDs pass the “freeze-frame test” with flying colors (i.e., when pausing or freezing an image on shroud, the video doesn’t “blur” at all; it stays rock-solid and definite while in “halt” mode; which, IMO, is a note of a pleasurable film-to-DVD transfer) .
All things considered, I could not be happier with the plan these episodes peep on these DVDs! And thus far I have no complaints about the performance of the sometimes-temperamental two-sided discs that Universal insists upon using for its TV-DVD releases. Nary a hitch has been experienced while playing these discs.
According to the stats on the packaging, the episode running times here average out to exactly 26 minutes per program (including the 40th episode in the situation, the Pilot), which indicates to me that the following glorious terms apply here: “Rotund”/”Complete”/”Uncut”/”Unedited”! And this is stout to behold, because the syndicated versions of this series that have aired on commercial TV for decades have all been hacked to pieces, with each episode having at least a few minutes sliced out of it due to commercial time restraints.
I did a “time check” for each of the seven LITB shows on Side A of Disc #1. The results made me smile (in an “uncut” and “complete” sort of fashion) . Here are those hasten times (not counting the 22-second Universal fanfare and logo that’s included prior to every episode, which can be posthaste bypassed via the Chapter button) :
“Beaver Gets ‘Spelled” — 25:48.
“Captain Jack” — 25:48.
“The Dusky Sight” — 25:49.
“The Haircut” — 25:44.
“Recent Neighbors” — 25:44.
“Brotherly Savor” — 25:37.
“Water, Anyone? ” — 25:44.
So I consider it’s splendid to say that when fans notion any of these 39 programs, they will probably be seeing them uncut for the first time since their recent network TV airings in the gradual 1950s. I’m guessing that everyone who buys this DVD station will be seeing some scenes in a lot of these episodes that they had never seen previously. That fact kind of serves as an “added value” item all by itself.
I’m also gratified to gaze that these DVDs support all of the “Previews” (or “Teasers”) for the first-season “Beaver” programs. These brief preview clips were shown honest prior to the opening titles and give an overview of what’s coming up in that episode. These pre-show snippets, which last about 20 to 30 seconds each, were only done for the first season. Hugh Beaumont served as “narrator” for the teasers on the first 16 episodes. For the year’s final 23 shows, however, Hugh’s deliver is not heard, with unprejudiced an episode clip provided (sans any voice-over narration) .
——————
“Leave It To Beaver” premiered on CBS-TV on Friday, October 4, 1957, and continued on network TV for a total of six seasons, finishing its 234-episode hurry in 1963. Each of the six seasons consisted of exactly 39 episodes, a hefty number by today’s seasonal standards. CBS carried the explain for the first season only. For the final five years, “Beaver” was a fragment of the ABC-TV schedule.
The storylines extinct for “Beaver” were always very simple and uncomplicated, which is probably why it’s so charming and moving. No major earth-shattering disasters ever befall the Cleavers. Nobody ever gets harm (except an occasional scraped knee), the parents (Ward and June) rarely fight about anything serious and never threaten to leave each other (like you might behold on a indicate today), and above all, these characters really seemed to care about each other, without getting overly sappy and sentimental about it. All of these traits helped construct “Leave It To Beaver” what it was each week in 1957, and what I enjoy it remains today: objective a top-notch, shapely, fun, uncomplicated half-hour of spirited television.
Starring Jerry Mathers as “Theodore (Beaver) Cleaver”, Tony Dow as his brother “Wally”, Barbara Billingsley as “June”, and Hugh Beaumont as “Ward”, the pleasurable cast of “Leave It To Beaver” was a well-chosen group in my notion. While it’s just, I thunder, that the acting was a bit on the “stiff” side on many occasions, I collected deem that this ensemble did quite well on this demonstrate. A sense of just believability and realism finds its plan quite comfortably into each of these episodes.
Toss into this cast grouping the very amusing Richard Deacon, who portrayed Ward’s friend and co-worker, “Fred Rutherford”, plus Ken Osmond as the ever-sarcastic “Eddie Haskell”, Frank Bank as the wimpish (but always likeable) “Lumpy Rutherford”, Rusty Stevens as “Larry Mondello”, and all of Beaver’s and Wally’s other various friends, classmates, and schoolteachers, and you’ve got a really reliable supporting cast of characters to form stories around.
Some of my approved shows from this Season #1 Beaver batch include ….. “The Sad Seek”, “Beaver’s Short Pants”, “Party Invitation”, “The Bank Epic”, “Mumble Scuttle”, “The Perfect Father”, “Beaver Runs Away”, “Tenting Tonight”, and my #1 fave from this season, “The Haircut”, which has Beaver getting scalped by barber Wally in one of the funniest episodes of the whole series.
There’s also the humorous “Captain Jack” episode — which was the very first note to be filmed; but was the second program to be aired. “Captain Jack” has Wally and Beaver sending away for a pet alligator, and includes the very amusing scene where “Minerva” (the maid who we never peruse again) comes running up the basement stairs screaming “Encourage! A monster! There’s an alligator in the basement!” …. This is followed by Ward’s skeptical — “An alligator?!” (LOL.)
“Captain Jack” also has the distinction of being the very first episode in television history to prove a toilet on cloak. (The “tank” section of the Cleaver toilet is shown, not the [~gasp!~] “bowl” itself.) 
In fact, it was the “toilet” scene in “Captain Jack” that kept that episode from being aired by CBS as the debut explain of the series in unhurried 1957. But LITB prove executives, including writers Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher (who authored a expansive number of the 234 “Beaver” programs throughout its 6-year history, including “Captain Jack”), stuck by their guns and won the “toilet battle” with CBS bigwigs, and thus “Captain Jack” (toilet scene intact) was popular for network broadcast one week later, being aired on October 11, 1957, as “Leave It To Beaver” episode #2.
And yet another winning Season-One entry is entitled simply “Lumpy Rutherford” — where we gather our first eye at “Clarence Rutherford”, known to most people as “Lumpy” (or “The Lump”) . You’ll impress how Lumpy goes from being one of Wally’s feared enemies to one of his best friends as the series progresses.
There’s also a very nifty bonus program located on Disc 3 of this state — the novel “Leave It To Beaver” Pilot episode, entitled “It’s A Petite World”, which originally aired on April 23, 1957, as an installment of the syndicated anthology program “Studio 57″. The pilot episode is a attractive decent explain too, IMHO, with a estimable storyline (unlike a lot of series-launching pilots I’ve seen) . It’s fun to be able to witness the “genesis” of the series via the pilot, and I commend Universal for including it in this collection.
Both Barbara Billingsley and Jerry Mathers co-star in the “Diminutive World” pilot program, but different actors were cast in the roles of Wally and Ward. Paul Sullivan played Wally; while Casey Adams (aka Max Showalter) filled Ward’s shoes for the pilot only.
A 13-year-old Harry Shearer (distinguished mumble actor on “The Simpsons”) also was featured in the cast of the pilot episode. It’s a exiguous allotment for Shearer, but he was very grand as “Frankie Bennett”, an Eddie Haskell-like smart-aleck. I was very impressed by the “naturalness” of Harry’s performance.
“Leave It To Beaver” veterans Richard Deacon and Diane Brewster also are featured in the pilot (although not in the same roles that they ended up playing in the series) . Deacon’s fragment, in fact, is a fairly extensive one (as an executive for the “Franklin Milk Company”) .
The pilot has survived in very safe shape too (”PQ”-wise) . The video quality looks about the same as the other episodes in this plot, meaning it’s quite beneficial indeed. And it appears that the pilot is uncut/unedited as well, with a running time of 25:02.

Let’s Talk Packaging………
Universal has offered up two different packaging variants for Season One of LITB. Each version is a 3-Disc region containing the real same disc mutter. You can determine the lower-priced package, which comes with a standard-style slipcase box that holds three “slim” plastic cases (one for each of the double-sided DVDs) .
Or — There’s the “Exiguous Edition” version, which includes “Premium Packaging” in the do of a collectible “Beaver Cleaver Lunch Box”. The Lunch Box is decked out in a plaid execute, and there’s a good-looking describe of a smiling Theodore “Beaver” Cleaver on one side of the box (although I don’t believe it’s a “Season 1″ photo of The Beav) ; while a pic of the whole Cleaver family resides on the other side.
It’s not a full-sized lunch box, however (and it doesn’t reach with a beverage-carrying thermos either; ~wink~) . It’s a mini version of the type of metal lunch box that can be seen veteran by Beaver in several episodes of LITB.
The Diminutive Lunch Box version also includes a “Cleaver Family Photo Album”, which is a mini-album containing six promotional snapshots of the Cleaver clan (plus one of Eddie Haskell) . The photos have a quote from the series written on the front, but no writing or captions on the relieve side. Each B&W pic is removable and slides into a obvious plastic sleeve. The album is nice-looking and sports a thick and well-”padded” vinyl-like shroud.
Now the poor news re. the Lunch-Box edition ….. Unfortunately, the Lunch-Box dwelling does not include the regular-style disc-holding case that comes with the Standard spot. The discs, instead, are held inside the photo album in three plastic sleeves. This, IMO, is not a respectable plot to store these two-sided discs. They are being rubbed up against the album sleeves whenever they’re taken out or returned to the sleeves, making them possibly prone to getting scratched more easily.
Plus, the device the album is designed, it’s a bit difficult to earn the discs out without a semi-struggle. Another debit is the fact you’re almost forced to handle the data sides of the discs in order to win them out of their sleeves. You cannot exhaust my preferred arrangement of “disc handling”, which is to buy the DVD up by sticking your finger in the center hole, while never having to touch the A or B side of the disc.
Another (major) negative factor to the Small Edition is the lack of any episode information anywhere. There’s no ep. guide booklet, nor are the episode titles listed anyplace on the disc-holding sleeves inside the album (and no DVD specifications info either) . Not a righteous thing. In fact, this lack of ANY program information is impartial flat-out ridiculous (especially for a product touted as a “Premium Gift State”) .
But, quiet, to assume a obvious near to this packaging topic, at least Universal is offering up a choice for customers, instead of providing ONLY an oddly-shaped disc-holding map.
While I like the Lunch Box and the photo album, I’d calm recommend getting the standard residence instead (due to its inclusion of a better and sturdier case to own the genuine DVDs; the “slim cases” are far better for housing the discs than the flimsier “sleeves” that near with the Lunch-Box pack) .
And, frankly, for the extra cost of a “Premium Puny Edition” status, I would have expected great better packaging for the valid discs, rather than impartial the sleeves which are provided. After all, it’s the discs themselves which are the “heart” of the collection; they deserve a better permanent home than what is provided in the Tiny Edition, in my notion. (Honest doesn’t produce noteworthy sense to me — Universal offers a region that they claim has “Premium Packaging”; and yet the packaging for the valid DVDs is far wicked to the non-premium alternative. Most titillating indeed.)
Also — Three of the six photos that approach with the Cramped Edition site are the sincere pictures that can be found printed on the abet covers of the three slim cases that reach in the Standard LITB edition. That fact dilutes the “exclusivity” of the Diminutive Edition a trifle, because those same pics can be seen on the Standard packaging too.
More Packaging Notes ….. The “Standard” set’s slim (distinct) cases feature different photos on each case — with unbiased “The Beaver” on the first case, a pic of Wally and The Beav on case #2, and a family snapshot on the third one. Episode titles for each disc are shown on the befriend of each slim case. There are no photos (or text) printed on the inside of the slim cases, which makes things seem a bit barren and bland when you originate the cases. (But at least they aren’t unprejudiced thrown in sleeves.) 
The Standard set’s outer cardboard box is simple in nature (and color) — gorgeous distinguished objective dreary white (with shimmering gold lettering traditional for the note title, which looks classy) . I like this dull white obtain for the screen, though. It has a kind of “vanilla” view to it, befitting the very simple and “vanilla”-flavored (but always fun-to-watch) episodes contained within this all-white box. Looks nice. Simple…but nice.
One limited gripe I do have with the Standard set’s box is the lack of any “Season 1″ notation on the spine of the box. There should at least be a “1″ printed someplace on the spine to separate this station from future LITB releases. This is the very first TV-on-DVD site I’ve ever bought that has no season-number markings on the spine whatsoever. A spellbinding omission.
——————
Menu Info ….. A nice, simple non-animated Menu form here. A recount of the Cleaver family is shown on the Main Menu for all discs. The LITB theme music plays on a continuous loop while the Main Menu is on veil. All other Sub-Menus are calm. Menu selections include: “Episode Index”, “Languages”, and a “Play All” option (plus a “Bonus Episode” Menu choice on Side B of Disc 3, for the Pilot ep.) . English and Spanish subtitles are also available. When an episode is selected, an “Episode Summary” Sub-Menu is displayed, which includes a synopsis for that episode and the fresh airdate.
From the “Right Shapely Episode Index” (which is what it’s called on the Menu to give things a friendly “Beaver Cleaver” flavor) there’s an additional Sub-Menu that can be accessed, an “Episode List”, which contains a listing of all the episode titles for Season 1 (on six Menu screens) .
No chapter stops have been inserted for any of these programs; and that’s a shame. At least a minimal number of chapter breaks would have been nice.
Some ads for other Universal DVDs reach into notion upon load-up of Disc 1 only (and only on Side A of Disc 1) ; but these advertisements, which last 4.5 minutes, can hastily be skipped via the remote control. The other normal mini-annoyances of DVD start-up (e.g., the studio logo and the FBI Warnings) can also be skipped in posthaste fashion, which is a plus.

Here now is a seek at all 39 first-season LITB episodes that are included in this 3-Disc space (the shows are arranged in “Airdate Order” on the discs, unprejudiced as shown below) . The recent CBS-TV broadcast dates are also included in the following list, as well as some selected episode descriptions and droll quotes from some of my current episodes……..
LEAVE IT TO BEAVER — SEASON #1 (1957-1958) :
1. “Beaver Gets ‘Spelled” (First Aired: October 4, 1957) — This very first LITB episode has puny Theodore terribly upset after he’s given a effect to seize home from school. …. Eye for the very amusing (and somewhat “sharp”, for 1957 standards) dialogue exchange between June and Ward after June receives some flowers from Beaver’s school considerable that were really meant for Ward as a ‘get-well’ gift. June asks her hubby, suspiciously: “Who’s Cornelia Rayburn, and when did she survey YOU off your feet?!” ~ROFL!~ …. “Leave It To Beaver” shared its premiere date with another historic “first” — the Russians launched the first Earth-orbiting satellite (”Sputnik 1″) on the very same day, 10/4/57. It’s up to you to settle which event was the most important — Beaver’s debut or Sputnik’s? ~scratching cranium~ :>)
2. “Captain Jack” (October 11, 1957) — Via a magazine ad, the boys send away for a “Top-notch Florida Everglades Alligator” for $2.50. …. “You know, the dinky fella didn’t actually bite me; he kind of ’sawed’ at me!”
3. “The Gloomy Study” (October 18, 1957) — “Wally, you mean to squawk me that a GIRL gave Beaver that shadowy look? And I practically sent him over there to annihilate her!”
4. “The Haircut” (October 25, 1957) — This is an episode filled with laugh-out-loud moments, after Beaver loses his haircut money and decides to produce the hair-trimming himself (with a diminutive succor from brother Wallace) . …. “Do you have to wear those terrible caps night and day for a whole week? ” —> “That oughta do it!”
5. “Modern Neighbors” (November 1, 1957) — “Dad, have you ever kissed any other married women besides mom? I guess a guy could accept in a lot of grief doing that, huh? ” —> “He determined could {smiling}.” …. Gape for Phyllis Coates (the first “Lois Lane” on the “Superman” TV series) in this episode. When she plants a kiss on Beaver’s cheek, all heck breaks loose!
6. “Brotherly Treasure” (November 8, 1957)
7. “Water, Anyone? ” (November 15, 1957) — “He’s got a monopoly; he’s practically operating a ‘black water’ market.”
8. “Beaver’s Crush” (November 22, 1957)
9. “The Clubhouse” (November 29, 1957)
10. “Wally’s Girl Pains” (December 6, 1957) — This episode features Penny Jamison’s hysterical roar (double meaning there) after Beaver gives Penny a toad as a gift. Penny’s ear-piercing cries of difficulty send Beaver running for the hills. ~LOL!~
11. “Beaver’s Short Pants” (December 13, 1957) — Aunt Martha’s visit means nothing but misery and suffering for unpleasant Beaver. …. “Theodore — don’t promenade over your milk toast like that; you’ll have curvature of the spine!”
12. “The Perfume Salesmen” (December 27, 1957) — The boys try to peddle 24 bottles of awful-smelling perfume. …. “It kind of smells like an archaic first baseman’s mitt I broken-down to have.”
13. “Voodoo Magic” (January 3, 1958) — A extraordinary episode in the LITB annals. Many hilarious moments, including the following quote by June. …. “George {Haskell}, I fair can’t gain this {about the “voodoo curse” Beaver establish on Eddie}. The Beaver is such a sweet cramped fellow. He likes everybody — even Eddie!”
14. “Part-Time Genius” (January 10, 1958) — “I mediate I’d like to be a garbage collector when I grow up. You don’t have to wash your hands all the time, and nobody cares how you smell!”
15. “Party Invitation” (January 17, 1958) — Beaver is forced to back an “all-girl” party. (God benefit the lad!)
16. “Lumpy Rutherford” (January 24, 1958) — This is the rib-tickling “Barrel Hoops” episode, with Wally & Beaver setting a “trap” for mean ol’ “Lumpy” fair outside his house. But Lumpy’s father falls into the trap instead of “The Lump”. …. June’s excitedly-worried reaction to the boys’ practical joke elicits another classic bit of dialogue from this grand TV series — “Ward, if my babies go to jail, it’s going to be all your fault!!”
17. “The Paper Route” (January 31, 1958)
18. “Child Care” (February 7, 1958) — It’s yet another droll pickle for Wally & The Beav, when the boys are called upon to baby-sit while Ward and June go to a party. The boys have to call the fire department to extract young “Puddin’” from the bathroom she’s managed to lock herself into. …. “I want to view Mary Jane!!”
19. “The Bank Anecdote” (February 14, 1958) — This one’s a loyal heart-tugger, as Wally and Beaver surprise their father with a very special gift.
20. “Lonesome Beaver” (February 28, 1958)
21. “Cleaning Up Beaver” (March 7, 1958)
22. “The Perfect Father” (March 14, 1958) — “Oh, for Pete sake! I unprejudiced place it up {the basketball backboard} for them to fool around with; I didn’t mediate they were going to establish a micrometer on it!” — The early-season shows feature several “Ward tantrums”, with this being one such comic example. Hugh Beaumont, as Ward Cleaver, was “The Perfect Father” choice for this TV series, if ya ask me.
23. “Beaver And Poncho” (March 21, 1958) — Another “lump-in-your-throat” type of episode, with Beaver adopting the cutest cramped Chihuahua dog for a few days. …. “Wally says he’s a bald-headed Mexican.”
24. “The Place Vs. Beaver” (March 26, 1958)
25. “The Broken Window” (April 2, 1958)
26. “Snort Meander” (April 9, 1958)
27. “My Brother’s Girl” (April 16, 1958) — “As a woman, I’m very proud of Mary Ellen! Why, if we women waited until you men were suited and ready to decide down and raise families, this whole continent of America would be nothing but buffaloes, jack-rabbits, and grizzly bears!!” — June gets in some proper wisecracks of her absorb upon occasion (as can be seen here) .
28. “Next-Door Indians” (April 23, 1958)
29. “Tenting Tonight” (April 30, 1958) — The boys’ 6-hour-long session at the movie theater sparks some quintessential inflamed “Ward-isms” in this episode. … “You spent over six hours today sitting in that stuffy movie theater!!” —> “Yeah, they determined give ya a lot for your 35 cents, don’t they? ”
30. “Music Lesson” (May 7, 1958)
31. “Current Doctor” (May 14, 1958)
32. “Beaver’s Venerable Friend” (May 21, 1958)
33. “Wally’s Job” (May 28, 1958) — The non-complex stories continue (with more droll results) in this episode about, quite simply, painting the family garbage cans.
34. “Beaver’s Unpleasant Day” (June 4, 1958) — Again, here we have another example of a super-simple premise (Beaver rips his pants; EGADS!), which rises to a very laughable level in the hands of this adept cast. Ward’s exasperated reaction when he thinks Beaver is feeding him a grand sage is a highlight here.
35. “Boarding School” (June 11, 1958)
36. “Beaver And Henry” (June 18, 1958) — “I hardly contemplate that ‘Henry’ is the great name for a rabbit in HER condition.”
37. “Beaver Runs Away” (June 25, 1958) — Another elegant example of a LITB ep. that combines comedy with a healthy dose of sentimentality as well. Beaver drills two holes in the garage wall, which, naturally, displeases Ward quite a bit. Beaver decides to pack up and leave home after a run-in with his dad. The final scene here is quite touching and realistically portrayed.
38. “Beaver’s Guest” (July 2, 1958) — Beaver’s best pal, Larry Mondello, stays overnight at the Cleaver abode. His visit is marred by a fight with Beaver and Larry’s middle-of-the-night stomach ache that keeps the whole house awake half the night. …. “Oh, the plot that boy ate! It was like watching a mongoose! I don’t assume I’ve ever seen anyone eat ketchup on corn before.”
39. “Cat Out Of The Bag” (July 16, 1958) — Season 1 ends with the boys getting into unruffled more hot water when they lose the neighbor’s cat that they’re supposed to be looking after. …. “Gee, dad, you’re always saying I’m stale enough to steal care of ‘The Beaver’. It shouldn’t matter honest because the cat is worth something.”

Closing Cleaver Comments……..
“Leave It To Beaver” is an American institution. Although extremely simple and unsophisticated in nature, the note never fails to entertain. And the entertainment value of the series’ first season is increased many times over thanks to the high quality of these DVDs.
Gripes against the Lunch-Box packaging notwithstanding, the first season of LITB on DVD is unquestionably a mandatory engage for fans of that TV series. And I deem it’s good to say even that ever-perfect of all moms, June Cleaver, would be more than elated to give this DVD collection her very occupy (and remarkable sought-after) “Cleaver Seal Of Approval”.
I assume possibly the thing I cherish the most about having a “Leave It To Beaver” full-season DVD status like this one available is the “It’s Always Gonna Be There” factor. That is to say — honest radiant that I can revisit Mayfield and the Cleaver gang anytime of the day or night by simply popping in one of these discs is … well … kind of a comforting idea in and of itself.
I, too, rented this spot to prove my kids some apt, shapely, 1950s TV fun.
However, the previews on this DVD are the accurate opposite of the innocent LITB world.
Commercials for Kolchak: The Night Stalker and American Gothic include images of a man wielding an ax, monsters attacking, people burning in fire and the face of a corpse dripping blood from its eyes.
We are then treated to a montage of mostly R rated movies from Focus Features.
My Summer of Appreciate is described as “a sexy novel drama” while bikini clad women (who are apparently lovers) splash each other with water. This is followed by images from The Ice Harvest, The Pianist, The Constant Gardener, Far From Heaven, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Lost in Translation, The Motorcycle Diaries, Traffic, 21 Grams and ends with an ad for Brokeback Mountain.
Why were these previews attach on this state of DVDs?
The LITB episodes are very amusing and highly recommendable; honest construct positive that you bypass the commercials which have no business being there.
