Let's list all the names that Eddie calls Lumpy, Wally and Beaver.

I'll name a few I like.

Mortimer

Clyde

Gertrude

Crazy Legs

Rodney

Mr. Peepers

Squirt

Hydrant head, but that might have been for Gilbert.

Sam

Cornelius

I think he called Wally Gwendolyn once.

Good ones. He didn’t start the name calling until late in season 4 maybe 5.

Did he call Beaver anything besides "squirt?" (Other than calling him Beaver a few times, when he wanted something or was scamming him, or Theodore/Beaver in front of Ward and/or June.)

Tarzan (from Wally The Lifeguard)

I think he called Wally Gwendolyn once.

And Agnes, his own mother's name.

When he was persuading Wally to agree to taking the Camelback Cutoff, he said, "But, Agnes, this is a short cut!"

Agnes was great. Beaver was also shrimp and Junior. Wonder if he called Lumpy another name. He called Wally, Bobby Darin once. When Eddie comes over in his new threads after getting a job at the garage he calls W and L many names.

Fabian.

Doc, as in What's Up Doc, for Wally.

Kid, for Beaver.

I think I heard Eddie call either Lumpy or Wally Elmer and Leroy.

A few I heard in "One of the Boys":

Sir Waldo the Great
Lancelot

Here's another observation I had about "One of the Boys," which may apply to the later seasons in general. Anyone notice how quiet the school hallways and cafeteria are when the principal characters (Wally, Eddie, Lumpy) are conversing? Usually there would be lots of talk and noise, but it's almost totally silent!

I'd never noticed that--I'll have to see if the same thing happens at the Grant Avenue School.

Yup it’s always very quiet in the corridors whenever there’s conversation. In The Mustache when Julie is talking in the cafeteria about Wally being immature you can hear a pin drop.

Sam.

LOL that Eddie. As full of names as he was full of sh*t. Such a dope, maybe even moreso than Lumpy.

From Eddie Quits School, Mortimer, Elwood, and Gertrude.

From Typewriter, Shortstuff.

My favorite Eddie name is Mortimer.

Gretchen ("Hang on to your stetson, Gretchen.") From A Night in the Woods.

I missed that today! Gretchen.

Speaking of a Night in the Woods, what happened to the battery operated record player? When Eddie went over the cliff I guess it sailed over the ledge and down into the unknown. Eddie could have also landed at the bottom of the canyon! That was really scary. I’m still surprised he didn’t have bruises and scrapes from hitting the rock.

Yep--if you fall off a cliff you're gonna get hurt. Even if you land on a ledge.

The record player went on down the canyon, playing animal noises for another few hours.

They cut the scene in the kitchen with Beaver and Wally, early on. Beaver was trying to get Wally in the living room so he could ask Wally to take them to the woods, in front of Ward and June.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that kitchen scene. We only see Wally with Beaver in the living room asking him the all important question.

There's a scene in the kitchen where at least Wally is drinking milk. Beaver tries to soften him up for the asking. I have S5 DVDs out so I'll rewatch it. MeTV must always cut that one.

He calls Lumpy Clyde in A Night in the Woods.

The missing scene on MeTV is right after Beaver, Whitey, and Alan are talking in the bedroom, about asking Wally to take them camping. Alan suggests Beaver ask him in front of Ward and June.

In the next scene, Beaver enters the living room and asks where Wally is. June says, in the kitchen.

Next scene, Beaver enters the kitchen, and Wally is drinking a glass of milk. Beaver tells him he drinks milk neater than anybody he's seen. Beaver tells Wally he wants to ask him a question in the living room, and Wally says he's going in there anyway. Next scene, MeTV has.

I remember that now. Saying he drank milk neater than anyone.

What I love and pointed this out before was how Gilbert’s father was going to take them and it was planned over a month ago. So we find out the reason he had to cancel was he has to go to a wedding. Well aren’t weddings planned well in advance? You don’t all of a sudden have to attend a wedding. Unless he totally forgot or it was a shotgun wedding. Gilbert should have said he had to work.

Maybe he forgot to write it on his calendar. These musicians can be scatterbrains.

Gilbert's father dropped them off near where they were going to start walking. On the way to the wedding, I suppose?

I guess by this stage Mr. Bates had changed profession to an engineer. However maybe he was supposed to play flute at this wedding. I think he’s like Mr. Boothby he has allergies in the woods.

He changed professions and morphed from Gates to Bates. I guess the music gig didn't work out.

Wally was so adult in this one. I would have called him Mr. Cleaver. The boys all acted so mature even Gilbert. I still can’t figure out how Eddie and Lumpy found their camp so easily. Way too simplistic.

I don't know if we've posted about that before, but I've thought of that too. Eddie told Lumpy, their camp is over there a ways. Amazing how he knew. It would have been more convincing if Eddie and Lumpy had planned to follow them.

One thing that was funny was when Lumpy started the record in the wrong place and the kids started talking. Also, credit the writers for thinking of sticking a line in there about the record player being battery operated--wonder if there were any of those in 1962. If so they must have been some big batteries.

I had a tape recorder reel to reel and it took 4 D batteries. Wonder if Eddie paid a library fine for losing the record about the zoo. He’s lucky he didn’t lose his life.

He changed professions and morphed from Gates to Bates. I guess the music gig didn't work out.

For a few Season 4 episodes between Gates & Bates, he was Harrison.

I loved when Eddie was waiting on the ledge and asks Gilbert to "say anything" to him, Gilbert says "All right, you're a dumb, stupid creep & a wise guy!". I could tell that the woods in that episode were filmed in a studio. I could almost see the studio walls behind the trees.

Sam

Cornelius

Eddie also called Wally Gladys in "Eddie the Businessman", along with Cornelius.

The one time to say, three cheers for Gilbert.

As far as the scenery goes, yep, you can tell they're on a soundstage. Maybe there was talk of going on location but it probably wasn't in the budget. On the other hand doing that scenery isn't cheap either (unless it had already been built for a scene in another show). I thought I saw a backdrop curtain at one point. They didn't do a bad job with the cliff, but how many times would there be a rock conveniently a few feet down? Like we said in another post, you don't fall off a cliff and not get hurt. Also, Eddie picked the worst time to wise off, after the ranger rescued him.

I remember that now. Saying he drank milk neater than anyone.

I was thinking more about this beginning, about all this mixup with the fathers and who was going to take them, wedding, etc. Wouldn't it have been easier if the writers had just written it so that Ward was going to take them, and he found out he was going to have to work? Then the boys would have gotten together (just like they did) and one of them immediately comes up with the idea of asking Wally. No mention of the other fathers. Much simpler...

That would have worked much better that Ward was going to take them. Just like in Tenting Tonight when Ward was taking them camping and had to work on Saturday. He often is working Saturday when he has to talk to the home office ie. Beaver the Hypnotist, Beaver’s House Guest, Tire Trouble etc. too bad the writers didn’t get some input from other sources.

Eddie: Is that you Wally?

Gilbert: It ain’t Tuesday Weld.”

"The big boys are ready for us now." "Just a minute, Fred." "I'll go stall them with some of my jokes." "Oh, no, no!"

A convenient way to get Ward to decide quickly, to let Clarence drive his car.

Sam Benedict, in Wally Buys a Car. (I had to look that up--it's an NBC TV show from the 1962/63 season)

In the credit card episode he called Beaver "Charlie", certainly a promotion from "Squirt." Of course, in the next breath, Beaver was the only kid in the eighth grade still riding a tricycle.

What was the reference to Sam Benedict?

What was the reference to Sam Benedict?

Near the beginning of the episode, Wally is making a list of pros and cons, of his buying a car. Beaver comes in and they discuss it for awhile. Eddie enters, and Wally greets him:

Wally: Hi, Eddie.

Eddie: Hi, Sam Benedict. What's the verdict?

Wally: Whaddaya mean?

Eddie: Is the warden gonna letcha have wheels?

(Sam Benedict was an NBC lawyer show in the 1962-63 season. It was set in San Francisco and starred Edmond O'Brien.)

I missed that episode this time but remember the reference and didn’t know Sam Benedict. Thanks.

He calls Wally Orville, in Beaver Goes Into Business.

He refers to himself as Big Daddy.
