What do Lumpy's Scholarship And Beaver On TV have in common?

mrbreezeet1 · 01-17-2015, 04:17 PM

they both show Fred on the phone?

Good try but I don't recall seeing Fred on phone in Beaver On TV. Hint: something we hear in both episodes.

We hear disapointment from Beaver and Lumpy on something that they thought would happen a certain way,and it did happen, but the end result was different than they thought. And for Lumpy,it was for the worse,unlike just a temporary setback for Beaver.

Fred accidently calls his son by his nickname "Lumpy", then quickly corrects himself saying "Clarence" in both episodes.

We also see exterior shots of Ward and Fred's office building and Ward's office interior. Both episodes have Fred and Ward conversing on the leather loveseat and at Ward's desk.

Oh wow, good catch!
I think I remember that at least one time.
I wonder if they wrote it that way, or if he called him "Lumpy" by mistake, and they just decided to leave it in?
OK, so Lumpy's Scholarship And Beaver On TV , I will have to remember to try and watch for that.
I am at the beginning of season 5 now. I don't have TV, so all I really have is Netflix.
I have to be careful I don't get myself sick of these shows.
I did it with everybody loves Raymond.

It said.........................................
Lumpy is a papa's boy. He is well known for referring to his father as "Daddy." Fred would tell Clarence he was too old or too big (usually referring to his "lumpiness") to call him "Daddy." A running gag on the show was to have Fred, who always referred to his son as Clarence, call him "Lumpy" when angry. Fred would also call Lumpy a "big boob" or a "big oaf." Lumpy's mother Gwendolyn ("Geraldine", in some early episodes) and his younger sister, Violet (who is about Beaver's age), round out the family. Violet gives Beaver a black eye in an early episode. Lumpy also has an unseen brother.

I liked when Fred called Ward about the write up in the paper, about Beaver finding the canoe, and Beaver and his classmates blew the story all up.

when ward said something like,
"Yes, I'm sure under the same circumstances, your Clarance would have done the same thing"

Good answers about calling Clarence "Lumpy" by mistake and Fred and Ward conversing in Ward's office. I was thinking about the music they play. In Lumpy's Scholarship they are dancing to some jazzy generic music at the party and in Beaver on TV the music introducing Teenage Forum is the same music. That's right both Lumpy and Beaver experience joy then disappointment then joy. There were lots of similarities.

Speaking of music...
Just before Teen Age Forum comes on, Fred and Ward are looking at the television and some music plays. The music? The Revue closing piece where the R-E-V-U-E letters come to the center!

The Teen-Age Forum theme music was used in 'The Virginian' many times. They played it at a faster tempo in saloons.

Both shows were from Universal/Revue.

And then there was the time Ward accidentally said "Lumpy" instead of "Clarence" in front of Fred and quickly corrected himself. Ward might have said "Lumpy" in front of Wally but said "Clarence" in front of Fred.

Scrabjan1 · 01-21-2015, 01:18 PM

As I recall just before Teenage Forum in Ward's office you hear "The following program is brought to you in living color."

Zinc2 · 01-28-2015, 06:55 PM

That was a common phrase before an NBC show and the vividly changing peacock would awe the early color TV audiences.

But, it's not in Beaver on TV. Fred and Ward are ready to watch Teen Age Forum, you hear clapping then the Revue credit music. Next we see Wally and June in the den anticipating the show and the Teen Age Forum intro music comes on. The music continues as Beaver's class is poised to watch.

Scrabjan1 · 01-30-2015, 12:07 PM

I love how when Beaver wasn't on the first show Fred makes some cutting remark about how when he got there he was probably nervous and didn't appear. What a dope and Ward just lets it go. When Beaver mentions Mrs. Rayburn and what a neat guy she is everyone claps. Wonder why she gets so testy and taps the desk to get them to focus on Beaver.
