Episode was on at 5:00am and I taped it...
I did read the comments about this episode and I understand why those who didn't like it or liked it....
I did like it....
I did think it was a bit silly that Beaver thought his parents would automatically divorce cause Ward 'merely raised' his voice at June but it's possible that Ward and June wait till Beaver and Wally are out of the room when they need to talk... I have noticed that so it's possible that he has never seen them fight--er argue..

I agree. I not only found it silly that Beaver thought they would divorce but WANTED them to! I come from divorced parents as most people do nowdays and I'm almost 36 yrs. old, but still think from time to time it would be easier if my parents were still married, particularly around holidays or other occassions when I have to deal with them being in the same room. Another thing, Beaver not knowing what it meant that Chopper's mom had the weepies? For crying out loud, he never saw his mother cry? One thing I for sure didn't think was realistic and that was that when Ward took the boy home without June and went in to talk to his mother saying she needed someone to talk to. June should have went too being that Ward and this woman were strangers and she was "emotional". That's how "stuff" happens between men and women, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, you would think Beaver has seen his mom cry unless she runs upstairs and hides it...
Now that you mention it about June going with Ward, I never thought of it but yeah, she should have gone with him.
