Wow she had no lines except maybe ‘Mister’ so wasn’t in the cast. Very cute. I remember she did some giggling. Wonder how many other kids were in TV shows as extras.

I just checked the episode. As the scene starts, both girls yell, Mister, mister. Then off camera one girl yells Mister again. The girl on the left is named Peggy, and she and Beaver exchange greetings. Before that, the unnamed girl played by Ann Jillian, says: We want a chocolate and a vanilla. And, yes, after Beaver tells the girls he's his brother, they giggle a lot as they run back to the swing. And the fact that Beaver said that ticks Wally off (he's pretty mean throughout the episode).

Both girls are listed in the credits, evidently since they both had dialog. Peggy is credited as Dana Dillaway, and the unnamed girl (Ann Jillian) is credited by her real name, Anne Nauseda. Maybe at some point she dropped the e off Anne, or they got the credit wrong.

This is the episode where Ward is trying to palm off the big bucket of pickles he brought home, and nobody wants them. It's nice to view a complete episode, and see all the stuff MeTV cuts out. There's a scene where all the Cleavers are in the kitchen, and June tries to get Beaver to eat an Igloo bar, but he doesn't want one because he's mad at Wally. Then Ward shoves the pickle bucket at him and offers him one, and he's grossed out by them (I csn relate!). I think that's one scene MeTV cuts.

I remember that. I didn’t think Wally was there. Ward opens the cover to offer Beaver a pickle from the crock and Beaver says “Gee Dad what happened in there?” Something like that.

Yeah, I think that's exactly what Beaver said. It was a good line!

The pickles were one of Ward's bad ideas. Along with the (frozen?) Chinese food nobody wanted in probably a season 2 episode.

In another episode Ward was supposed to bring home Chinese food and forgot so June had taken out a roast just incase.
