'Beaver' house on RTV show! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I don't know how many of you have watched the show "Suspense Theater" (labeled as "Crisis") on RTV, but I've seen several episodes recently and they have ALL had the LITB house in them...it's identical inside and out, except for different decor. It's from around 1963-1964 and in color!

These episodes are from the "Kraft Suspense Theatre" that aired on NBC. It was a Universal show, as was LITB, so that explains the usage of the house.

Since this was a Universal production I'm assuming we're talking about the second Cleaver house. (211 Pine St.) It would be very neat to see that in color!

I remember the NBC/ Universal TV 1963-1965 "Kraft Suspense Theatre",and yes,they DID use the Cleaver Mansion(as it was called),and it was featured in the 1963 episode "One Step Down"(with the late Leslie Nielsen)

They ALSO featured the Cleaver Mansion (the one at 211 Pine Street)in Universal TV's "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour"(the CBS episode from season one 1962's"Don't LooK Behind You",1964's CBS second season episode "How to Get Rid of Your Wife"(with Bob Newhart,Ann Morgan Guilbert,Jane Withers and the late Harold Gould),and 1965's NBC episode "The Thanatos Palace Hotel"(with Angie Dickinson)
