I like both. But lately I've been getting into Dennis the menace more. LITB has been on in reruns so many years, it's cool, it's a good comfort show. But Dennis doesn't seem to have been played as much. So it's more fun to watch.

Also Beaver doesn't have Mr. Wilson. and IMO he is a very big plus in the show. I also like Mr. Mitchell better than Mr. Cleaver. Ward is strict and preachy, and to me takes some of the fun out of the show. One thing I like about LITB as apposed to DTM is Wally and Eddie. DTM not having older kids in the show. I liked the teenage antics of Wally and his friends in the later eps! But all in all I find Dennis the menace to be more funny and entertaining!

Oh my God, it isn't even close. Leave It To Beaver was far, far superior.

I just found this article. Very sad. Seems his aunt physically abused him.
