I found out it was banned and never shown. The Beaver finally has had it with Eddie Haskell playing tricks on him, so he and Wally jump him on his way home from school. Wally hold his arms while The Beav pummels him!

ThedySueHill · 09-20-2006, 08:37 PM

You're correct. The TV censors thought it was too much for network TV at that time. It's never been broadcast during its original run or in syndication. I think it was in season 4. Maybe it'll be included in the DVD.

David VP · 09-22-2006, 04:33 AM

Yes, that's a terrific episode (it's entitled "Eddie Gets The Brass-Knuckle Business").

Upon seeing his boys beating Edward "You Look Lovely Today, Mrs. Cleaver" Haskell to a bloody pulp out on Pine Street, Ward Cleaver runs to help his lads finish off Eddie. Ward, after racing to the garage for his .22 rifle, pumps four bullets into Edward's already-limp body at point-blank range, which (naturally) results in a somewhat lifeless youngster named E.W. Haskell.

June then rushes toward the scene, sandwiches and lemonade in tow, desperately wanting to come to the aid of her murderous clan by offering up various hunks of delicious home-cooked foods and drinks.

Beaver then relieves the tension of the bloody scene by saying to his dad -- "Gee dad, do you think I hit him too hard?"

Group laughter then ensues. The gang then goes back into their 211 Pine St. dwelling, munching on June's ham-&-cheese treats on the way.

And another classic LITB ep. was born.

The epilogue scene shows Jess Kirkpatrick (the actor who portrayed the Cleaver trash man in two episodes in the series) scooping up Edward off of the Pine St. curbing and tossing him into the garbage truck....all the while beaming with pride at the Cleavers' handiwork.

(Gee, dad, I wonder why that episode never aired? We didn't even use any bad words...like "Creep" or "Goofy".)

Thanks David. Good followup!

CheerleaderClassof97 · 09-25-2006, 03:48 PM

Oh my goodness,how awful! I'm shy and don't usually say a whole lot,but felt the need to speak here. I'm glad that one was not shown and that Eddie continued to live on. LITB is a wonderful show with good lessons. I don't see where this would have been a good lesson.

And that doesn't seem like The Cleaver's anyway.

Without this episode,it seems that Eddie and the Cleaver's just had a nice friendly rivalry. I'm glad it stayed that way.

Then you probably don't want to hear about the other unaired episode (titled "Thank God June Has The 'Bronson Bosoms'"), which has June working as a stripper at a downtown Mayfield nightclub. June took the strip-tease job after Ward lost his job down at the "salt mines" (due to his not showing up for work for an entire week because he was gambling away every penny the Cleavers had at the race track without June's knowledge).

It was a rough time for the Cleaver clan -- but thanks to the lucrative earnings that June was able to haul in while showing her unmentionables to total (leering) strangers, the family was able to make ends meet.

Ward was finally able to find work as a mortician's assistant at the Mayfield Morgue. (Not exactly the great job with the corner office he once had while at the "salt mines", but bums who gamble day and night can't be too choosy, can they?)

June's now-retired g-string is going for six figures on E-Bay last time I checked.

CheerleaderClassof97 · 09-25-2006, 10:43 PM

If that actually did not happen,maybe I should feel silly,but I don't. I admit I'm gullible. My Mom is always saying I'm so much fun b/c I'm so easy to believe something that she is pulling my leg about.

See,I actually felt that happened and I was taking up for the show. I love the show so much and hold it in such high regard that what I read just shocked me to no end. If you were just playin',that's one thing,but that actually happening is just totally beyond me. I do,however,believe the first 2 posts. When I look at the Cleaver's and Eddie and the show,the first 2 posts seem somewhat believable atleast.

T-Greg · 09-26-2006, 12:29 AM

Cheerleader. We're just having fun. None of this is real. But, wouldn't everyone feel a whole lot better if The Beav really let Eddie have it one day? I always wondered why he didn't, so I guess this is my way of making it happen. I think it would make a good SNL skit

David. You should be a comedy writer. I'm laughing my ass off over your posts.

Thank you. ~bows~

Should I do another one? Maybe about the episode that has Wally coming home with a bad case of the clap after an overnight tryst with the fetching Mary Ellen Rogers. And if you guys think Ward & June were upset over the possibility of Wally guzzling a few beers at his all-night graduation party -- you don't want to hear the Wrath of Ward when he found out about Wally's sexually-transmitted disease! The you-know-what hit the fan blades, big-time, that night!

That rat Edward Haskell squealed on Wally, btw. Eddie had been getting increasingly upset that Wally was always able to get some "amore" with all the "hot" chicks (while Eddie had barely gotten past the hand-holding stage with several cast-off matrons that Wally had previously discarded).

So Eddie decided to give Wallace "The Business" about his dreaded VD situation. This episode is the one that immediately preceded the ep. where Eddie gets beaten to a bloody pulp by all of the Cleaver men and left for dead outside the Cleaver abode. (So, as we can see, it was justifiable "clap-induced" homicide indeed.)

BTW, Cheerleader -- All of these posts are in fun. I, too, have immense respect for the TV institution known as "Leave It To Beaver" -- and I always shall. It's one of my all-time favorite television shows. No matter how much fun I poke at Beaver & Wally & Company, I shall never lose my tremendous affection for those characters. It's a show that never grows stale, IMO. For, no matter how many times I see "The Haircut" or "Wally's Haircomb" (two of my faves), I always laugh aloud every time I see those episodes.

LITB is a great TV series -- and always will be. And don't ever let anyone give you "The Business" and tell you otherwise, by golly!

Ok. Thanks,T-Greg and David VP!

I was gonna say... And I couldn't figure out why you were laughing about the "episode" of someone dying. And,being "scooped up into a garbage truck?" I just couldn't figure why that was funny. lol

Like I said,I'm gullible.

I apparently didn't have a clue. That happens sometimes. lol

passionsfan79 · 09-26-2006, 10:18 PM

That is soo cool

Mrs. Periwinkle · 09-28-2006, 01:42 AM

Noooo, I wouldn't want to see anything bad happen to MY Eddie!!! June, yes, but I couldn't watch anything where Eddie was being hurt. I love that character!

What I was thinking of is an episode where we find out the real truth why June acts so b!tchy around Eddie--because she's really wild about him and doesn't want anyone to know. One day she loses control and makes a pass at him just as Ward walks in. He demands that she leave the house and...

Okay, maybe not.

CheerleaderClassof97 · 09-28-2006, 11:32 PM

Passionsfan79,what are you referring to? What is "soo cool"?

Mrs.Periwinkle,in reference to your last statement,you're right,June's character is just simply a sweet lady who loves her husband and kids,a real family girl. She wouldn't do anything of the sort. And,yes,I realize you were just joking. Yay for me!

The humor in this comes from taking one of the characters and having them act the total opposite of how they were on the show. Imagine The Beav becoming a school bully and beating up kids for their lunch money, or like David said, June as a stripper or Ward having a gambling addiction. Also, keep in mind that this was the 50's and any type of violence was pretty much a no no. So, add some violence into the mix, and voila!
