Does anyone know what times or channels LITB was shown on during its original run? I seem to remember reading it was shown in the 9:00 PM time slot at one point.

October 1957-March 1958 CBS Friday 7:30
March 1958-September 1958 CBS Wednesday 8:00
October 1958-June 1959 ABC Thursday 7:30
July 1959-September 1959 ABC Thursday 9:00
October 1959- September 1962 ABC Saturday 8:30
September 1962-September 1963 ABC Thursday 8:30

It's funny to think of Beaver on a major network station since I'm so used to seeing it on cable.

October 1957-March 1958 CBS Friday 7:30

Wow, it switched days a lot!! And it still did so well! A lot of times shows that keep getting switched around end up failing !! So glad viewers really liked this and kept up with it, it's one of the best all time TV shows ever , all the seasons IMO !! ;):)

Thx

I see it switched to ABC from CBS

Anything change in the show that can be discerned as a viewer ?

Beaver did OK in the ratings, but like some other ABC shows (such as The Brady Bunch) it didn't really achieve iconic status til after its network run.
