Things We Know Happened We Didn't See That We Should Have!

[Jack1000]

Everyone, go Ahead and Add to This list!

1.) Wally competing in sports at Mayfield High School. Game scenes would have been cool.

2.) Lumpy Rutherford running into a wall during the marching band parade.

3.) Fred Rutherford getting bit by a squirrel! LOL!

4.) Fred picking up Lumpy at the police station, when Beaver and Gilbert think that Bill Scott and he are burglars in the masquerade party episode!

5.) What two extra books Beaver was reading as his reprimand for trying to write his Three Musketeers book report from the TV comedy movie?

6.) Fred about to drink his coffee at the office and discovering that someone put pencil shavings in his cup! LOL!

Angela Valentine's extra toe! Angela Valentine wearing a Jackie Kennedy Wig! Larry's father hitting him! Larry pulling weeds as punishment for stealing his mother's money! Violet Rutherford doing a tap dance at assembly! Larry's Father and sister! Wally and Beaver watching McHale's Navy! Fred Rutherford finding Lumpy's watch in the lining of his jacket! Wally, Beaver, Eddie, Tooey, Chester, and Willy Deneson playing basketball at Willy's house!

June Cleaver, fresh out of the shower with wet hair and no pearls!

[tdr]

Yes, I would liked to have seen a big Mayfield High football game, like the final game of the season for the district championship. Wally playing QB, Lumpy a guard, Eddie the team manager, Mary Ellen and Julie cheerleaders, and the interaction between the Rutherfords, Cleavers, Rogers', et al, in the stands.

Believe it or not, I have had a fanfic I've worked on from time-to-time, and continually changed it, but have never settled on a form to 'publish' on these boards, in which Eddie, snubbed by Alpha Kappa for his nasty letter, seeks another fraternity. He finds a questionable one, but one which does have a few sons of 'influential' businessmen, so he tries to join, telling them about being snubbed by his 'best friend's' frat, in spite of his friend's old man's letter trying to rectify the situation. They want to know more about Wally Cleaver and his family, and he tells them about June, beautiful but naive. So his initiation requirement is to somehow get a nude picture of this woman, and on a weekend visit home by Wally and Eddie, Eddie manages to get invited over and try to rig a camera that will get a picture of June in the bathtub. But I have tried and I find it hard to resolve what happens. Does he get the picture? does he get a picture of Ward instead? either way, do Ward and June find out?...........

Larry Mondello's father (was his first-name ever given?) arriving back home from his trip to Cincinnati.

[Jack1000]

Eddie getting sick from eating Mayonnaise, which June puts on his sandwich after she sees him shoving Beaver when Wally, Beaver, and the neighbor kids are all playing basketball. (We know that Eddie is allegoric to Mayonnaise. At least he tells June that.)

Everything that Gilbert said to Eddie when he was stuck at the bottom of a cliff in "Night in The Woods!" when Lumpy and Wally go to get help.

What Ms. Landers said to Beaver when he took his report card back and found that his Arithmetic grade was changed from a D- to a B+ because of Lumpy and Eddie changing his grade. (June mentions to Ward, when they don't believe Beaver, thinking that he changed his grade on his own, something like.) "Wouldn't he realize that would get caught when he took the card back?"

Fred's pictures of Lumpy when he was a baby, when he was trying to get Ward and June to come over and see them! LOL!

Ward and June's frequent bridge games with the Rutherford's. Only because with Fred there, we would have had some funny stories!

What did Fred yell at Lumpy about when Lumpy was watching Captain Kangaroo? LOL! Wally, just thought, "maybe your Dad doesn't want you watching Captain Kangaroo." The dialog between Fred and Lumpy here would have been priceless!

All the pictures in June's photo album from the "Family Scrapbook."

Beaver loosening the the bed board supports, causing the bed to collapse when Wally lies down in "Wally's Practical Joke."

Beaver hitting Larry in the stomach after Larry allegedly "Wrecked his fort." right where he almost had his operation!

Fred helping Lumpy with his Math homework. Potential for some classic yelling there!

Beaver reading his boring autobiography as Wally falls asleep!

Beavers entire book report of Three Musketeers, based on the TV comedy movie, if Mrs. Rayburn had not interrupted him.

All of Beavers bogus autobiography that Betsy wrote. Ward mentions some things in the tag sequence of this episode that we did not get to hear, as Mr. Thompson only reads part of it.

Beaver's friend "Elephant Ears." What did he look like?

Larry Mondello's sister.

In Yard Birds when they bring all the junk to the dump at the end they had to push Lumpy’s car to get it started and the guy thinks they’re trying to steal it.

Fred taking his Spanish lesson.

Eddie’s father going through the divorce notices to pick up houses cheap.

Eddie putting all those answers on the towels in the “washroom.”

Dorothea Dunlap fainting in the cafeteria.

The circus worker giving Nick to the boys and walking him through the streets of Mayfield.

Ward having a business lunch with all the girls surrounding them in swimsuits.

My favorite: wish we could have seen Eddie playing the saloon girl in the play.

[stevea]

Beaver sneaking Larry into hiding in the bathtub after he (Larry) ran away from home.

Somebody at the post office hitting Beaver and Gilbert after they got there.

On Beaver and Gilbert, Beaver actually giving Gilbert a black eye.

Wally beating up Eddie without June coming in the room.

The hunt for Angela Valentine's missing retainer.

Mary Margaret Matthews putting the moves on Beaver like Marlene did on Wally.

A rewrite of Beaver the Babysitter so it isn't such a stupid and contrived episode.

Beaver hitchhiking to get to Mr. Compton's office and Beaver and Larry doing the same to get to Friends Lake Park.

(oops! only the first item should be here, but I'll leave the others anyway)

I remember seeing Larry Mondello's father when Beaver was in the school play and had to switch roles with Whitey..after the play was over and everybody was in the back greeting their parents, Mr. Mondello was there - he was a heavy set guy who only said a few words, then they left..

[Scrabjan1]

Yup we only see Mr. M from the back. I think all he does is laugh at Larry’s comment when he couldn’t find the opening in the curtain.

Speaking of Beaver’s Babysitter I find it ludicrous that after finding no one home Gilbert and Richard up and leave. I thought they would at least raid the fridge and put their feet on the coffee table. Maybe call the butcher and ask for pigs feet.

[stevea]

The Beaver the Babysitter I was talking about is the ridiculous episode where Beaver ends up babysitting for Pat instead of Chuckie. And no one happened to mention that beforehand and Wally didn't ask. I don't look up titles so I probably got the title wrong.

The point is great about the other episode. It'd be natural for them to raid the fridge. Even if they didn't, it wouldn't be normal for them to just take off after doing their yells. Wouldn't work out for the writers though.

[GentlemanJim]

Eddie getting caught multiple times in a "my eyes are up HERE!" moment when complimenting June Cleaver's dresses, and her decision to discuss the matter with Ward.

[Scrabjan1]

Stevea you were right it is Beaver the Babysitter. I was thinking of No Time for Babysitters. You were right how it was not well written. After I wrote my comment I saw how you were talking about babysitting Chuckie. I love how Chuckie didn’t even know Beaver but before he took him to get shoes back in that ridiculous episode. Also helped to feed Beaver’s frogs.

[stevea]

Sitcoms are about stretched situations sometimes but this episode is way over the top. I'd forgotten about Chuckie not knowing Beaver, never mind the shoes and the frogs. And that contrivance about Wally just assuming it would be Chuckie. Why would that be? He later said he'd sat for Pat before.

They could have written the episode to have Chuckie create some other problem for Beaver. He was an established imp--they could have figured out something. Or at the outset have Wally say the babysitting would be for both of them, and he convinces Beaver to do it even though there is a girl involved, and later they discover it's only Pat. That would have made more sense, along with having Beaver know Chuckie. Somebody should have noticed that discrepancy for sure, in the read-thru or later the director. I just looked up the writer, Joseph Hoffman--he wrote some other episode but wasn't a regular writer. At least Connelly and Mosher should have picked that error up.

Scrabjan I agree with you about this site being way better than Facebook, for sitcoms. There are a lot of knowledgable people over there (who really belong on here), but the posts are a disorganized mess. That results in many posts on the same subject, over and over. Like multiple discussions of where Mayfield is (and we're way beyond that on here!). On My Three Sons there are at least 6 separate threads about the show going off MeTV for a month.
