The last ABC-TV Network showing of LITB was on Thursday, September 12, 1963. Just a question. What episode was shown that night? Could it have been a re-run of "Family Scrapbook" which was the episode used to conclude the show's season on June 20, 1963? Re-runs began on June 27, 1963 and ran each Thursday night through September 12. After that, ABC-TV rolled out its shows for the 1963-64 TV season.

ABC reran "Wally's Practical Joke" (OAD 5/23/63) that night. I found this out both from TV Guide and from a mention in the first book about this show, "The World According to Beaver". There was only time during summer 1963 to rerun 12 of the 39 Season 6 episodes, and "Family Scrapbook" was not one of them. "Beaver Sees America" (OAD 6/6/63) was the last-produced episode rerun on ABC (on September 5).

I post the epguides list below for the production numbers. You can see that "The Clothing Drive" (OAD 6/13/63) was produced much earlier in the season. (ABC never reran that episode either.)

The LITB book listed the episodes in production order, so I was surprised to see "The Clothing Drive" run so late, since it was related to school, where many of the previous episodes produced late in the season ("Beaver's Graduation", "The All-Night Party", "Beaver Sees America") had to do with the school year ending and summer vacation beginning. "Family Scrapbook" (produced & aired last) also had Ward mention taking Wally & Beaver "away from their homework", which seemed weird in context of those previous end-of-school-year episodes.
