Product Description:
Now with this release fans nostalgic for the simple moral lessons at the heart of LEAVE IT TO BEAVER can own the show's entire second season. Part of television's golden era the series first aired in 1957 but really grew in popularity with later audiences when it ran as repeats. The picture of a perfect 1950s family the Cleavers consisted of troublemaking Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver (Jerry Mathers) too-perfect big brother Wally (Tony Dow) wise dad Ward (Hugh Beaumont) and eager-to-please housewife June (Barbara Billingsley). Thanks to the influence of his friend and ally in crime Eddie Haskell (Ken Osmond) Beaver never goes too long without getting into some kind of mess. But with some of his mom's home cooking and his dad's sage advice Beaver always sorts it out in the end.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/CLASSICS Rating: NR UPC: 025192927621 Manufacturer No: 29276

The second season of Leave It to Beaver finds the Cleaver family happy and wholesome as ever, with most episodes involving the Beaver getting into a scrape, or hearing the from-the-mountaintop advice from Mom or Dad afterwards. Despite the formula, the episodes hold up well, because of the earnestness of the actors and the delivery of their lines, which is, well, swell. Mom June (Barbara Billingsley) is the matriarch who makes it all look easy in her well-pressed frocks and pearls (pay close attention to those necklaces--there are actually several; some plain strands and some with pendants), and Dad Ward (Hugh Beaumont) is thoughtful and a little monolithic. But it's the adventures of boys, older brother Wally (Tony Dow) and the Beav (Jerry Mathers), that make the show so fun. One episode involves Beav and pal Larry (Rusty Stevens) playing hooky (they're late to school anyway, and they figure they may as well get "killed" later as opposed to today), and then winding up on live TV, on a show which June just happens to be watching. Moral? Golly gee, there's more than one, and they're delivered by both parents and Beav's teacher--and echoed earnestly by Beaver himself. The chuckles come in a ready stream, even if sometimes inadvertently. Sample exchange: Wally: "Mom, can I get tattooed?" June: "Tattooed!? Absolutely not!" Wally: "Oh, OK. Bye." No wonder people are so nostalgic for the '50s--teenagers never gave anyone any lip. This season, 1957-58, contains 39 remastered episodes on three double-sided discs, and is a treasure box of nostalgia, in the absolute best sense. --A.T. Hurley

Our children 10 and 13 (and both of their parents!) love Leave it to Beaver seasons 1 and 2, and have worn them out. We are based in Asia, but love the good old American shows I grew up with circa 1960s.
Where are Seasons 3, 4, and 5 ??? We promote these DVDs among our other English-speaking friends who would gladly buy them if someone would sell them!
Waiting hopefully...........

[[ASIN:B000EGDANO Leave It to Beaver - The Complete Second Season.The show is so well acted.The episodes are funny but some bring tears to my eyes.I have been a fan since my childhood and now I am even more devoted.I enjoyed the episode most where Wally and Beaver go on there bus trip.Beavers experience with a taxi driver paying the fare and a tip reminded me of my first trip to the U.S.A.only I was 21yrs old.Absolutely love the show.

The show originally switched to a new network after the second series back in the 50's. That's why there's a huge delay between the second and third series releases today. It's due to present corporate ownership rights so there's another pile of red tape that has to be sifted through to get the rest of the LITB series out there. Universal/GE owns the first two but not the rest.
I'm confident that the present owner (CBS?) will release them one of these days. If you make it, they will ... Read More

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 ... Read More

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.
