I always wondered how many dates Wally had during the run of the show.
Do high school kids normally have that many? I haven't seen the show in awhile but he seem every other ep in seasons 2-6 he had a date.

He had Alma,
Bannerman girl
Julie Foster
Oh fast Marlene.
The girl who went on the picnic and couldn't eat much:Wally's Dream gal,

How many can you name?

Another was "Kathy Gregory" played by Carol Wells his date for "The All-Night Party" and who winds up in the fountain at the country club.

Cant forget Mary Ellen Rogers

And there was the time his Mom fixed him up with 'Eddie's girl" for the school dance!

There was "Lori Ann" (played by Brenda Scott) who worked at the Mayfield Public Library. Wally was ready to stay home that summer so he could see her while the rest of the family went on vacation, but he learned from Lori Ann that she was going to be away during that period of time.

Wally was a player. :happyface

There was also "Evelyn Boothby" (played Mary Mitchel). She and Wally are seeing quite a bit of each other until they visit her sister, Judy and her husband, Tom (played by Ryan O'Neal) and Wally is not particularly fond of the married life he witnesses.

Did he "actually" date the girl who worked in the ticket booth in the final season? She was older and "experienced". Beaver caught her in a booth with some other guy and didn't know what to do. I think she was smoking, too :eek:

Yes he had one date with Marlene Holmes, Box Office Attraction. "They didn't dig each other."

Wally had another country club date with Shirley Fletcher in Wally's Car Accident. He uses Ward's car and pushes Lumpy's car...smash.

Wally had a date with Gail Preston, the tall girl. The Riverside girls and the Mayfield boys exchange names and go to a dance. Eddie got the tall girl and tricked Wally into swapping names.

In Blind Date Committee it's Wally's job to get dates for girls...he takes Jill Bartlett whom Eddie says is an owl...He can't get her a date so he takes her and finds out she's a nice person.

I think he had the most dates with Mary Ellen Rogers that we don't even see. Mary Ellen was Myra Parker and took her to a dance in Wally's Orchid.

In Double Date Wally wants to take Carolyn Stewart out but she has a little sister so they get Beaver to double but it doesn't happen.

He sure had a lot of dates.

I'm not sure if this would count as a date or dates but in the episode of "Tennis Anyone", Wally comes into contact with Carole Martin (played by Cindy Robbins a/k/a Cindy Chenault) at the tennis courts. In an attempt to make her boy friend jealous after an argument, she acts friendly towards Wally and they wind up playing tennis for a couple of days. Wally later sees her and her boy friend together there and knows he was used.

Season#1: "Wally's Girl Trouble"....dated Penny Jamison

Season#2: "Eddie's Girl"...He brought Carolyn Cunningham to the country club dance.

Julie Foster


This was a favorite of mine, "Wally's Dinner Date," with Julie Foster the teacher's daughter, at the White Fox, the "yummiest place in town" where Ward took business clients. Reminds me of the first time I ever went to a nice restaurant.

I think Cheryl Holdridge as "Julie Foster" comes across really great in her role in this episode. How many guys wanted to be "Wally" in this one?

You have mentioned about 20. I wish I had 20 dates before graduating High School. I imagine he has 20 more in college.

She smoked, and drank beer.

I thought it was funny how Beaver told Ward and June after Wally and Marlene leave about seeing her in a beer joint and smoking. They act like they never heard of a girl drinking beer. I guess in Mayfield you just didn't do that. Wally mentions how the Barons drank beer too. Love the drunk leaving Hank's Place in Box Office Attraction staggering out. Wally looks so disgusted with him. I'm sure Marlene got plastered before the night was through.

Keep in mind that Wally really hadnt been exposed to people drinking much, so it was a whole new thing for him.

"Box Office Attraction" is a great episode to show someone who thinks LITB is all sanitized, "wholesome" fare.
