As long as I/we are picking this episode apart (again), I have to say, it bugged me when Gilbert had a line, Nothing this big has happened since Whitey Whitney got his head stuck in the school fence.

What? Whitey got his head stuck in a fence, too? Couldn't they have said, since Beaver got his head stuck in a fence?

I remember that line. I don’t think too many people knew about Beaver’s stuck head. Judy saw him stuck but couldn’t figure it out. She was more interested in going to a rich restaurant. Another Gilbert line was that Mrs. Rayburn wasn’t this mad since Angela Valentine wore a Jackie Kennedy wig to school.

Gilbert could have said in Beaver on TV “Mrs. Rayburn hasn’t been this mad since Beaver wore the monster sweatshirt to school.” Gilbert, however, wasn’t in that episode.

You have a point...Judy was with her friend, and I think Beaver told her he was looking for four-leaf clovers (which I think was what he was doing when he got stuck)...so she probably would have forgotten about even seeing him, and he wouldn't have mentioned it (maybe). And eventually Wally wanted to sue the city (neither here nor there re the subject)--that was a comment that could have been made today--suing is so popular.

Still odd that it happened to Whitey, too.

The Angela Valentine/Jackie Kennedy wig line is the one that was edited out for years (as I've mentioned before...sorry!), but recovered when the DVD set came out.

Speaking of editing.... one time in Monster Sweatshirts MeTV actually edited out the scene where Alan, Richard and Whitey tried to leave for school in the sweatshirts and were caught. It looked like they never even tried to keep the pact to all wear the shirts so Beaver was double crossed. They always cut out Uncle Billy being called from the movie theater about Beaver. He’s sleeping in the chair with the newspaper on him and says he’ll be right down.
