Years in the past, after I began watching Depart It to Beaver for the primary time, I knew the Cleaver boys had been headed for hassle each time Wally’s good friend Lumpy would present up. Lumpy, typically aided by that scoundrel of all scoundrels, Eddie Haskell, was all the time up for just a little little bit of mischief.
Throughout his memorable first look, Clarence “Lumpy” Rutherford, performed by actor Frank Financial institution, was truly extra of a bully than he would develop into. In that first episode, for no matter cause, Lumpy felt that Wally and “the Beav” wanted to stroll the great distance residence. After all, the boys received their revenge … effectively, sort of. It seems that the entice they’d set for Lumpy can be stumbled into as an alternative by his father.
