Wally's Test Episode - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Friday they showed this on the so called TVLand channel, and it was subjected to cuts. In one scene in the classroom the teacher passed out the history test, and Lumpy looks concerned. The teacher asks what is wrong, and Lumpy comments that it was the same test he took last year(Lumpy flunked a grade), the comment Lumpy made was cut out.

A scene later where Eddie and Lumpy find out the paper towel they wrote the answers are are gone, and they blame Wally( he was in the bathroom before them), Eddie and Lumpy give Wally dirty looks, and Lumpy bangs his fist into his hand. The teacher hears him and ask what he is doing, and Lumpy replies that he just had a cramp in his hand. The dirty looks part was shown, but the rest of the scene was cut out.

I know they have to make room for more commercials. Back in the day TV epidoses were 25 minutes long, and you during a break you got two commericals and back to the program. Too bad it cant be like that today. Then again corporate America has taken over everything else so I guess they would get to the airwaves sooner or later.

Yup! TV Land seems to be the worst on cutting shows! The show gets shorter as they rotate over again it seems. I suppose until the remaining seasons are released on DVD then that is all we have of LITB. Very sad!

I recorded the episode when they went to Shadow Lake. I love the scene where Wally and Beaver are in the bed pretending that the fire and the noises were pirate ships battling on the sea.

TVLand cut it completely out on the episode I recorded.

I just found a goldmine of a station that shows a ton of LITB, which is why I posted that other thread about having a LITB marathon. I was so excited to see that it was actually on TV that I had to start taping it! I think this station only broke for commercials once or twice and it looked to me like everything was intact.

I'm going to post another thread about the station that I found, since it has to do with more than just "Beaver" episodes.
