The Cleaver Family is Still Beloved Decades Later

Jerry Mathers, Tony Dow, Barbara Billingsley, and Hugh Beaumont made up the Cleaver family. They usually find themselves in different situations all the time. Watching Beaver get in trouble for multiple reasons usually leads to him having a chat with Wally in their bedroom. Sometimes he will ask Wally his opinion about different things. When we see June or Ward enter the picture, they get busy talking with Theodore, Beaver’s legal first name.

Then, of course, Beaver and Wally have their friends who will hang around them. For Wally, he’s usually getting some harassment from Eddie Haskell. Eddie is best known for trying to cause more problems in the Cleavers’ home. Oh, he also finds time to give Beaver some grief. Viewers have watched Eddie sweet talk his way around Mrs. Cleaver, June. Longtime fans know that Lumpy Rutherford makes appearances here and there, too. We also get to see Fred Rutherford, Lumpy’s father, call up Ward, and discuss matters of the day.

Beaver, too, has his circle of friends. Gilbert and Whitey are his closest confidants, usually finding a way to get the Beave into or out of trouble.
