Yes, they did a "clip" show where they were sitting around looking at a photo album and reminiscing. They showed clips from previous shows.

The episode title is "Family Scrapbook", and it was the final ep produced of the series and the last ep originally aired on June 20, 1963. Only the Cleaver family members appear in new footage, though characters such as Eddie Haskell, Larry Mondello, and Miss Landers appear in clips from previous eps. LITB had 39 new eps every season, so new eps aired into June and sometimes July. The ep gives out a piece of trivia that had never been revealed before, that Beaver got his nickname because Wally couldn't pronounce "Theodore" when he was little, so it came out something like "Beaver", and the nickname stuck. This ep appears in the regular TV Land rotation, and it has also aired when TV Land has aired a final episode marathon "Last Things Last" on December 31 during a few previous years, though TV Land didn't have that marathon last year.

I always think it's funny in "flashback" episodes that involve the cast looking at a 'scrapbook' of 'photos' that of course, come to life with the scene being portrayed... especially when the photos themselves could not possibly have been taken at the time these things actually happened.

e.g. we see a photo of Beaver and Wally in their bathroom brushing their teeth, Ward and June are downstairs... who's taking these pictures???
