Okay, can anyone verify if there was an episode in which Wally and Beaver get a pet alligator and the man at the zoo tells them to feed it milk, with a little bit of whiskey? I know it seems odd to have whiskey on LitB, but I have this memory burned into my brain and I'm sure it happened, but I have doubts that it was on Leave it to Beaver. Thanks, if you can help...

Yes, this was indeed an episode. I think it was the second episode. It was supposed to be the first episode, but the television people were a little wary of showing a toilet on tv. I think the episode is entitled Captain Jack.

Yes Jenny, you are correct. The episode is entitled, "Captain Jack." Can you believe that they were worried about showing a toilet tank on television back then? They didn't even show the whole toilet, just the tank!! Man, it sounds so silly today, and just look at what they show on tv nowadays. Have times changed! :D

Amen to that! Almost everything they show now days has "something" in it, yet back in litb days they couldn't show a toilet. The 70's really changed that though with All in the Family.

There was indeed an episode that had the boys feeding a pet alligator milk with WHISKEY? AND a toilet?
