Older, definately. Younger Gilbert drives me crazy, but older Gilbert's pretty funny.

BBF · 03-27-2003, 09:52 PM

I actually like him younger. I dont know why...He was a pretty cute kid.

bandito · 03-27-2003, 10:10 PM

Neither Gilbert. For some reason he always got on my nerves.

I agree with Bandito. I can't stand Gilbert either way. He had no reedeming;ly qualities. Beaver really had the worst taste in friends. Wally's friends were much more multi-dimensional.

I prefer the older Gilbert better, I think he developed his acting skills in the later years.

When Larry Mondello left the show, Gilbert for awhile seemed to be Beaver's best friend. That year I feel was Gilbert's best. He seemed to say more lines that a "goofy" kid might say. Here's one example as best as I can remember:

June: (Talking to Wally) - "But Beaver knew that Jimmy Bahsen was coming over for the trains."

Gilbert: "Oh he had that covered Mrs. Cleaver. He was going to tell 'em they were busted."

(Pause)

June: "Well, I think you should be going home now Gilbert."

Gilbert: "I think I should be, too."

(Gilbert starts to leave Beaver's and Wally's room with a box of train stuff.)

Gilbert: "Oh, I'm not stealing anything. These are mine."
