I don't think I've seen it. I used to watch original in reruns.

It was a little show back when. Hasn't been seen since the early 90's because of distribution rights and all that. They were sold to a company that went belly up soon after and the rights went up into limbo.

It was a nice, cute show. The Beav was divorced and moved back home with his kids. Wally lived next door with his wife and kids. Eddie Haskell and Lumpy were there. Lol.

From what little I remember, it was. Just a nice family show.

We don't see those anymore. I wish we did.

Nope. It's very sad. When they do come on, they don't last, and the ones that last are a little more edgy and daring and not like the 80s family shows.
