Nice to see the usually deleted scene when Aunt Martha buys the suit. The English gentleman from the Bank Account ep. discussing her good taste in clothes. She asks if material is English he says quite. Beaver takes his dead goldfish out of the pocket of his soon to be disguarded clothes and puts it in his pocket for a funeral later. How dare she throw away his jeans!! He asks if they will take a bus home. She says too close to dinner so they’ll take a taxi.

Yes, I noticed they restored that scene also. I wonder what they deleted to allow for that.

Also one of the few episodes with Mr. Bloomgarten.

The previous episode, Wally's Girl Trouble (with that insufferable Penny) featured the technical first appearance of Larry, credited as Robert Stevens. Although he appeared in Beaver's Crush, that was the 13th episode produced; Wally's Girl Trouble was 5th.

Oh so Larry at dancing school was his first appearance? I always thought we first saw him in Beaver’s Crush. Beaver first mentions Larry in Beaver Gets ‘Spelled.

It has to do with the production order. That's why I used the word "technical". They filmed Wally's Girl Trouble before Beaver's Crush, but the network showed Beaver's Crush first. When local channels showed the syndicated Beaver, you would see Wally's Girl Trouble (prod. #905) way before Beaver's Crush (#913). I think TV Land started the practice of showing episodes in network order.

I think "Robert" Stevens had a few crowd scene, bit appearances before either of those episodes. These were uncredited, with no lines. They probably auditioned him after those appearances, then filmed Wally's Girl Trouble.

He was also billed as Robert Stevens in Part Time Genius, which was production #906 (episode 14 shown on CBS). So that would have been his second appearance, by production.
