![]() Leave it to Beaver TV show: Busy ‘Beaver’ a family affair (1957) The show embedded itself so firmly in the American psyche that - sixty-odd years later - many of us still think of the ’50s as a wonderful, carefree time, where even the biggest problems could be solved in half an hour… and there would always be milk and cookies waiting for you when you got home. ![]() In fact, ‘Beaver’ performed so poorly in the Neilsen Ratings during its first year that CBS canceled it.ĪBC picked it up instead, and that decision helped propel the Cleavers to solid enough success to make a total of 235 episodes - and for the show to live on for decades via reruns. ![]() It’s strange to think that “Leave it to Beaver” was actually not a big hit TV show - it never even cracked the top 30 during its initial six-year run. ![]()
