the deal with the two houses? - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

LITB moved from CBS to ABC. So on the show they had the family moving to a new house.

They briefly mentioned it would mean the boys got their own rooms, and they certainly had the space, but the show needed them to interact, so they shared a room in the new house.

I've been watching season 3, and there has been casual references to the fact they are in a new house, so I decided to go back and watch the last disc of season 2. In the last few episodes, the Cleavers are discussing selling the house and moving, and the very last ep. of season 2, Ward & June announce to the boys, they sold the house, and put a bid down on the new one.

The network switch occurred after the first season, unrelated to the studio switch after the second.

It is weird that they don't show any signs of moving. In the last episode of season 2, they announce they are moving, then in the beginning of season 3, they're all settled in the new house as if they had been there for monthes.

Until I got the complete series, I didn't even know the Cleavers lived in two different houses! But not that I'm aware of it, I certainly notice the differences.

I have been to Universal in Hollywood more then once. It was so fun taking the tour of the whole Universal back lot. Yeah a lot of shows was shot on the same street The Beaver house was on at Universal.Yeah where The Beaver's house was at is called "Anytown USA"
Yeah also The Tom Hank's movie The Burbs was shot on that same street where The Beavers house was at.
I know there was a few episodes of The Incredible Hulk shot on that street as well. Yeah there are tons of Incredible Hulk episodes that was shot on the same town square that was used in The Back to The Future movies.

We do get to see The Cleavers first house in the 3rd season episode "Beaver's Tree." Where Beaver goes back to the old house to get back his old tree,that June and Ward gave to Beaver for a birthday present one year.

Any thought of the boys getting their "own rooms" never happened in the new house. They are shown as having the same bedroom after the move there, but there was a guest room in the new house which each of them used when the other had a guest spending the night.

I use to shair a bedroom with one of my brothers when I was little. But we did not have are own private bathroom thoe.
As time went on and we got older we both wanted are independence from each other. Then my day cleaned out the guest bedroom of the house and gave the room to me.

I can't believe in both houses the boys had their own private bathroom. Wouldn't you think Ward & June would have the bedroom with the bathroom?

For all we know Ward and June don't even have a bedroom. All we ever see is a door from which we occasionally see Ward or June exit!

Ward and June have a bedroom with a bathroom in that episode where Beaver lets the hobo come in and take a bath.

Ward and June have a master bathroom. Like Judgegarth postes, we see it in the hobo episode.
