Judy's poem to Ms Landers - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In the 'Beaver and Ivanhoe' episode. The one she reads on behalf of the class welcoming Ms Landers return back to class after an ( apparent ) illness.. The final rhyming line "....and we're also very glad, that you did not die". I did and still do laugh out loud at that. So tactless and yet so excusably innocent due to their young ages. That's comedy.

It must have been uproariously edgy back during the first viewings.

For writers that drop the ball reusing episode storylines over, and over. They hit homeruns on characters lines. Most everything Judy says is pure gold.

Judy responds to most things said by the boys, by starting it with, "Huh", meant as, I don't buy a thing you're saying, not what did you say.

did Judy Grow TOO Tall to continue as a regular in the later seasons ? she sure grew A LOT !

stevea · 04-07-2021, 11:05 PM

I'd vote yes on that one.

I just figured that she was the kid who got "held back" a couple times, as an example to the other kids what happens when you don't apply yourself.

lol yup
i remember some kids like that but she was no dummy ...

Perhaps the teachers were flawed, and became dependent upon her gushing patronage?

When I was just a little tyke, there was this kid who lived across from my baby sitters, who was 5-6 years older than I was, famous for being a dullard. Went our separate ways.

By the time I reached the 10th grade, I was shocked to see him as still a senior. He graduated highschool at the age of 21. Very popular with the sports coaches

dullard? Doesn't sounds good. Get out Websters...

I would have branded Judy a sycophant, but I was too lazy to look it up.

Searching why Jeri Weil left LITB I found this.

"The reason that I left Beaver was because my womanhood was starting to show. So, they used to like, tape me down.”

Very sad if true. Such a wonderful actress to be treated like that.

Genuinely curious here: what does Ms Weil mean by "tape me down"?

Edit: A light bulb just went off in my head. As to "taping her down", I hope it doesn't mean what I fear she meant.

I think it does, unfortunately (but I'm not totally sure). Amazing she came back for New Leave it to Beaver. Different producers, though.

Tankeryanker · 04-09-2021, 02:18 PM

I doubt it was actual tape.

Many women even today use cloth (like an ACE bandage) and wind it around their chest and back area to help with the bounce.

It would have been traumatic as a kid for me though if they approached it to me wrong.

stevea · 04-09-2021, 02:25 PM

I was picturing it as gauze with tape. An Ace bandage doesn't sound so bad.

They should have kept her, but we don't really know exactly how her departure happened. Since she appeared a couple of times in season 4 it probably wasn't planned.

If I ever get back on Facebook I'll see if Rusty can be asked (or someone still on there can ask). He may not know since he had just left, though.
