Earlier than Trendy Household, Diff’lease Strokes and even The Brady Bunch, one present above all others first outlined the template of the American TV household: Go away It to Beaver. From 1957 by means of 1963, the present introduced us the idyllic (if typically unrealistic) adventures of the Cleavers, a mean suburban clan dwelling within the common suburban city of Mayfield (in a state that was by no means explicitly named).
The Cleavers’ strict-but-caring patriarch Ward was performed by Hugh Beaumont and ideal mother and spouse June was lovingly performed by Barbara Billingsley. As for the Cleaver children you had athletic older brother Wally (Tony Dow), and, in fact, the chubby-cheeked coronary heart of the present, Theodore “Beaver” Cleaver (Jerry Mathers).
