For members here who remember the Leave It To Beaver TV show, I just read the news that actor Ken Osmond has passed away at 76 yrs old. He played the role of Eddie Haskell, the cocky, smart alek. Originally, he was only supposed to do one episode of the show, but the producers liked him so much he ended up doing 97 episodes. He later worked as a LAPD motorcycle ploiceman, and was shot 5 times in pursuit of a car thief. I watched a lot of episodes of this show as a kid, and always felt that Eddie Haskell made the show. RIP Ken Osmond

He played the villain very well.

 

"Hello Mrs. Cleaver" is gone but not forgotten.

Makes me wanna watch it although I do recall some risqué lines by June on an episode when she said... "Ward you was a lil rough on the beaver last night" ? Lord I appologize for that and be with the starving pymies in New Guinea
