Show Summary
211 Pine Street, Mayfield, the residence of the
Cleaver family: Ward, an accountant; his wife June;
and their children, Wally and Theodore (Beaver).
Stories relate to the experiences of the two brothers.
Beaver Cleaver was 7 when the series began, and Wally
was 12. Beaver was a typically rambunctious youth,
more interested in pet frogs than in girls, but Wally,
just entering his teens, was beginning to
discover other things in life.
The boys' parents were one of those nice,
middle-class couples so often seen in this kind
of program. Larry, Whitey, and Gilbert (among others)
were Beaver's pals, Eddie and Lumpy were Wally's
buddies. Eddie Haskell was one of the more
memorable characters, unctuous and oily to
adults, but a bully to little kids.
Miss Canfield and Miss Landers were Beaver's school
teachers. As the years passed and Beaver got older,
the stories naturally moved away from the little-boy
premise until, in the final season, Beaver was about
to enter his teens and Wally was ready for college.
