Never Noticed This Before

[Scrabjan1]

Watching Beaver Takes a Bath I noticed that Wally had a band-aid on his left hand. Later in Beaver’s Bus you see the scar. He must have had it a long time cuz you see the scar in Wally and Alma.

Beaver's Bus has some great writing. Is this the episode where Wally says, You're a kid and you got no rights, etc. Also, That's a fancy way o' sayin', don't holler out the window.

This is also the episode where the elusive lamp post makes one of its infrequent daytime appearances. I guess there were some differences between the soundstage build and the real exterior.

I'll have to watch for Wally's hand...I'd never noticed that, either.

Was it one of those colorful picture band aids that came with the Nurse Nancy book? I remember those when I was a kid and had a Nurse Nancy book.

[Scrabjan1]

Don’t remember Nurse Nancy.

It was a regular old skin color bandaid. Maybe Torgo can find a pic of the bandaid. You see it a lot when the water is leaking through the ceiling and later with the towels. I bet that bathroom floor was clean like in Beaver’s Laundry when they clean up the suds on the kitchen floor.

That last picture must have been taken in the dark!

[Scrabjan1]

Hey Torgo great job. Isn’t it funny how a scar can tell a lot. Like how Blind Date Committee was filmed later than the others. In Pet Fair we see Wally pretending to be a parrot and the scar has healed. It must have been quite a cut. You can see the scar pretty good in Wally and Alma so that must have been around Beaver’s Bus. I’m gonna check out the scar in Beaver’s Library Book.

From what I've read about when child actors can and can't work, probably scenes from diffrerent episodes were filmed out of order, also. It may be that a lot depended on when the adults and children were available together.

[Scrabjan1]

Wow great research. I can’t believe Wally only has the scar in Beaver’s Bus but in Beaver Takes a Bath later he has a bandaid.

[stevea]

I just expanded it out to the whole season. The scar/bandaid discrepancy could be explained by scenes filmed out of order. Like I said it all depended on when the kids and adults were available. I also imagine things got out of order when it came to going on location. Going out of order must have been a horror show when it came to memorizing scripts.

When I was watching Beaver Takes a Bath I could swear there were scenes when he had the band aid and scenes when he didn't. I need to study Torgo's shots again.

[Scrabjan1]

Oh that’s right and could explain the inconsistencies of the dialogue.

I was amazed how in Beaver Takes a Walk Wally says how Tooey bought a scooter for 75 cents that he and Wally will work on. Then in the next episode the network shows Borrowed Boat, June thinks the policeman is calling about that scooter. The production list shows them as 6 and 10.

I'll be interested to see if there's any sign of a band aid or scar in Wally's Play or Beaver Finds A Wallet (that one is on MeTV next week). Both were filmed way before they were shown...especially Wally's Play, which was filmed third but was ep. 37 on the network.
