If the Elite's NWO master Plan for Utopia is so great then why all the wars, death, destruction, starvation, SECRECY and LIES? I see all countries are passing Gestapo style anti-terrorism laws that allow them to target people that criticize government. Thought crimes. The truth is being suppressed. You have nothing to fear but fear itself. We are like the ants driving off the elephant, we don't need a leader. The Theorem of Cognitive Dissonance holds that the mind automatically and involuntarily rejects information not in line with previously held beliefs.Keep following the Elite's script to global Armageddon and a one world dictatorship as laid out in their book, the revelations. Sycophants to authority all simply going along with it. I love that you are educating yourself but there are only a few million people awake globally at the present time. If you could think of better content for the short clips take it away. I'm just sharing suppressed information. I see a large grassroots movement growing slowly, email and internet video sharing sites as well as p2p is causing the global conscience to stir. I see family and friends physically sick from what they now see is going on. No more hiding from the facts.Wikipedia - Aspartame - Health concerns Aspartame has been the subject of controversy regarding its safety and the circumstances of its approval by the American FDA and European FSA. Some studies have also recommended further investigation into possible connections between aspartame and negative effects such as headaches, brain tumors, brain lesions, and lymphoma. These findings, combined with possible conflicts of interest involving CEO Donald Rumsfeld in the approval process, have engendered vocal activism regarding the possible risks of aspartame. Brain Tumors? Approved by Donald Rumsfeld around the same time he was shaking hands with Saddam Hussein and selling him chemical weapons with which to gas the Kurds?I've been working on a 12 step video, hoping to squeeze enough into 2 hours of youtube ten minute videos to break the spell of lies. A hand-out format to make it easier for people to share around would be nice."12 Steps to Freedom" First let me start by saying that the term conspiracy theory is often used by the guilty to eliminate articulate dissent. Secondly "Paranoid" is the ability to connect seemingly unconnected events! 1) Admitting you have a problem: Food Poisoned with Government Approval MSG Aspartame GMO 2) Came to believe in the power Greater than ourselves: Education School is for indoctrination into debt slavery 3) Made a decision to get the Truth: Media has been lying and spitting on our faces 4) Made a searching and fearless moral inventory: Organized Religion has been lying and stealing our joy 5) Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs: Narcotics Hemp eases a myriad of symptoms and is nearly free yet they claim it makes you insane. It would replace the petrochemical industry. 6) Were entirely ready to remove these shortcomings of society: Economics, debt slavery, Usury is theft plain and simple. 7) Humbly asked for help to remove these shortcomings: Politicians have been lying and spitting on our faces, Seek direct democracy. 8) Made a list of all the wrongdoers: Conscience, Take personal responsibility and stop being childish 9) Made direct amends for all the wrongs: Community Say hello to the neighbors, call old friends and family. 10) Continued to take personal inventory and when we saw a wrong promptly corrected it: Learn the truth about earth 11) Sought through meditation and fellowship to improve our contact with each other, the earth and Cosmos: Learn to meditate, relax and entertain yourself. 12) Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps we carried this message to our fellow humans: Responsibly take alternatives, solutions, discussions, questions, and open debates honestly seeking help.We need some collective gathering place for the people around the globe, political differences aside, this is a human issue not a political one. Politics is the only arena we have left with which to enter and hope to have our voices heard on mainstream media. I'm using email, video hosting and many world wide forums to attract attention, raise doubts, cause controversy and create debate. Stir it up, wake the world, nothing good was ever accomplished while we slept. http://members.shaw.ca/davefparker/ http://ca.youtube.com/user/Slavestorm ...

A Titillating Horror Sit-Com

Posted on Sun, 29 Jun 2008 13:35:30 -0500 in Single malt scotch regions

A 2007 Titillating Horror SitCom Where Psycho meets The Beaver Leave It to Beaver hit the airwaves in 1957. The show from which these video clips were taken was the Pilot and never aired. Jerry Mathers played Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver Barbara Billingsley was June Cleaver, his Mom. Hugh Beaumont would be Ward and Tony Dow, Wally Cleaver, after the pilot. For the first, unaired show, Casey Adams played Ward. And another actor played Tony. Ken Osmond as Eddie Haskell did not show in the pilot, let alone Larry Mondello. I think I saw Dennis the Menace's neighbor in there too... !So I asked myself, "Wouldn't it be interesting to blend Alfred Hitchcoc's Horror / Thriller into that sit com?"'"No?" you say. Uh Ohhh - you must thus sit this one out for that's what I did anywayI combined Anthony Perkins as crazy Cleaver neighbor, Norman Bates - along with Janet Leigh as the other beaver, Marion Crane.Enjoy !Bill Stoll StollCo Video - 2007~~~Plot summary for Psycho (1960) Phoenix officeworker Marion Crane is fed up with the way life has treated her. She has to meet her lover Sam in lunch breaks and they cannot get married because Sam has to give most of his money away in alimony. One Friday Marion is trusted to bank $40,000 by her employer. Seeing the opportunity to take the money and start a new life, Marion leaves town and heads towards Sam's California store. Tired after the long drive and caught in a storm, she gets off the main highway and pulls into The Bates Motel. The motel is managed by a quiet young man called Norman who seems to be dominated by his mother. Written by Col Needham {col@imdb.com} For Marion Crane, it's been quite an eventful day. The day before, she had stolen $40,000 from her employer's client, packed her bags and driven all day on her way to join her paramour several hundred miles away. Now, she is taking a relaxing hot shower after her long day's journey. The remoteness of the motel suit her purposes perfectly. The only sounds heard are the chirping of the crickets, the splashing of the water, and her humming contentedly as the hot needles of water caress her aching shoulders. Written by filmfactsman Plot summary for Leave It to Beaver (1957) The Cleavers are the 1950's 'All-American Family' in this 'feel-good' family sitcom. Parents Ward and June, and older brother Wally, try to keep Theodore ('the Beaver') out of trouble. However, Beaver continues to end up in one kind of jam or another. Unlike real life, these situations are always easily resolved to the satisfaction of all involved and the Beaver gets off with a few stern moralistic words of parental advice. Instigator and troublemaker Eddie Haskal is an older kid who always manages to avoid being caught. ~~~Quentin Tarantino - Where are ya when we need you. The perfect art for your team is this...Leave It to BeaverLeave It to Beaver is an American television situation comedy about an idealized American family of the 1950s.CBS first aired the show on October 4, 1957, but decided to drop it within a year. ABC picked it up and ran it for another five years, from October 2, 1958 to June 20, 1963. It was produced by Gomalco Productions (1957-1961) and by Kayro Productions (1961-1963), and distributed by Revue Studios.PremiseThe show is built around young Theodore Cleaver (Jerry Mathers) and the trouble he gets himself into while navigating his way through an often-incomprehensible, sometimes-illogical world. When he was a baby, his older brother Wally (Tony Dow) mispronounced "Theodore" as "Tweedor". Their firm-but-loving parents, Ward (Hugh Beaumont) and June Cleaver (Barbara Billingsley), felt "Beaver" sounded better.Beaver's friends include the perpetually apple-munching Larry Mondello (Rusty Stevens) in the early seasons, and, later, Gilbert Bates (Stephen Talbot), as well as the old fireman, Gus (Burt Mustin). His sweet-natured-but-no-nonsense elementary school teachers are Miss Canfield (to whom Beaver declares his love in the episode entitled "Beaver's Crush") (Diane Brewster) and Miss Landers (Sue Randall); Mrs. Rayburn (Doris Packer) is the principal. In the early seasons, Beaver's nemesis in class is Judy Hensler (Jeri Weil).His brother Wally is popular with both peers and adults, getting into trouble much less frequently. He letters in four sports and has little difficulty attracting girlfriends, among them Mary Ellen Rogers (Pamela Baird) and Julie Foster (Cheryl Holdridge). His pals include the awkward Clarence "Lumpy" Rutherford (Frank Bank) and smart aleck Eddie Haskell (Ken Osmond), the archetype of the two-faced wiseguy, a braggard among his peers and an obsequious yes man to the adults he mocks behind their backs. Eddie often picks on the Beaver.The family lives in the fictional town of Mayfield. Beaver attends Grant Ave. Grammar School, and Wally, Mayfield High School (after graduating from Grant Ave. in season one). Cast=List of Leave It to Beaver cast members Jerry Mathers as Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver. The casting directors noticed that Mathers was uneasy and asked him where he'd rather be. Mathers replied that he'd rather be at camp. That boyish youthfulness got Mathers the part of Beaver.[citation needed] Tony Dow as Wally Cleaver Hugh Beaumont as Ward Cleaver. Before he made Ward Cleaver his acting trademark, Beaumont sometimes played villains in film and television. Most familiarly, he played a former convict, Dan Grayson, struggling to go straight for the sake of his wife and son, in 1953's "The Big Squeeze" episode of Adventures of Superman, a few years before Beaver. He directed a number of Leave It to Beaver episodes in the last two seasons, including the final one, the retrospective "Family Scrapbook". Beaumont was an ordained Methodist minister, who from 1974 until his death, sold live Christmas trees. Barbara Billingsley as June Cleaver. Billingsley has said that June Cleaver's wardrobe was more than a fashion statement. The pearl necklace hid neck shadows and high-heeled shoes were employed to offset the boys' growing height. Ken Osmond as Eddie Haskell. Osmond became a cop, serving eighteen years with the Los Angeles Police Department. Diane Brewster as Miss Canfield Sue Randall as Miss Landers Stephen Talbot as Gilbert Bates. Talbot works as a reporter for PBS' Frontline. Rusty Stevens as Larry Mondello Richard Correll as Richard Rickover Stanley Fafara as Whitey Whitney Jeri Weil as Judy Hensler Burt Mustin as Gus the fireman Frank Bank as Clarence "Lumpy" Rutherford Richard Deacon as Fred Rutherford, Lumpy's pompous, demanding father and Ward Cleaver's equally pompous, smug co-worker. Deacon was working a second job for much of the life of Leave It to Beaver; he was concurrently Alan Brady's (Carl Reiner's) brother-in-law/producer and Buddy Sorrell's Morey Amsterdam's foil on The Dick Van Dyke Show. Buddy Hart as Chester Anderson Tiger Fafara as Tooey Brown Pamela Baird as Mary Ellen Rogers Cheryl Holdridge as Julie Foster Cultural influenceLeave It to Beaver often aimed toward a moral lesson and is referenced even now as an emblem of simpler American times. Ward stated that his father "had a fine sense of values",[1] and if Ward himself sometimes seemed possessed of the gentility of a man of the cloth, it may have come from Beaumont's own background: he had become an ordained minister before he took up an acting career. June Cleaver, likewise, became a model of the archetypal suburban 1950s mother who wanted nothing more than to stay at home and take care of the family.The show strongly promoted the importance of family. The recurring themes expounded parental expectations for children, while the moral messages stressed the importance of teaching children proper behavior. Proper parenting techniques and methods for resolving problems and achieving consensus were demonstrated.The pervasive influence of the show was the subject of a theory proposed in 1965: that a prime cause of the Watts Riots was "Television Kitchens." A study was done of they types of kitchens that appeared in TV commercials for cleaning products and in sit-coms, like Leave It to Beaver. Those shown on TV belonged in houses worth far more than the average house at the time. But these kitchens were being shown over and over, day after day, to people whose own kitchens did not match up. The implicit comparison was obvious: "That's typical, and this is what I've got?" [2] EpisodesThe pilot episode, which aired on April 23, 1957, was entitled It's a Small World.[3] It featured Max Showalter as Ward Cleaver, and Paul Sullivan as Wally Cleaver. TBS re-aired the pilot on Sunday, October 4, 1987, to commemorate the show's 30th anniversary. SyndicationAfter 234 episodes, Leave It to Beaver ceased first-run production; however, the show didn't stay off the air for very long: reruns were part of CBS affiliates' lineups in the mornings for several years to come. TBS showed it for many years in the late 1980s, and now it airs on TV Land—where it has been shown since July 1998. Today, NBC Universal Television owns the syndication rights and all properties related to the series. SpinoffsA made-for-television reunion movie, Still the Beaver, appeared in 1983. The main original cast appeared, except for Beaumont, who had died the previous year. Ward Cleaver was still a presence, however: the film's story used numerous flashbacks to the original show, as it followed young-adult Beaver's struggle to reconcile divorce and newly-minted single fatherhood, straining to cope by what his father might or might not have done, while facing the possibility of his widowed mother selling their childhood home. June Cleaver is later elected to the Mayfield City Council.Its reception led to a new first-run, made-for-cable series, The New Leave It to Beaver (1985--1989), with Beaver and Lumpy Rutherford running Ward's old firm (where Lumpy's pompous, demanding father — played by Richard Deacon in the original series — had been the senior partner), Wally as a practicing attorney and expectant father, June having sold the old house to Beaver himself but living with him as a doting grandmother to Beaver's two small sons. Eddie Haskell runs his own contracting business and has a son, Freddie, who is every inch his father's son — right down to the dual-personality. Feature film1997's movie adaptation of the series starred Christopher McDonald as Ward, Janine Turner as June, Erik von Detten as Wally, and Cameron Finley as Beaver. It was panned by many critics, except for Roger Ebert, who gave it a three-star rating. It flopped at the box office, earning only $11,713,605. Original TV co-stars Barbara Billingsley, Ken Osmond, and Frank Bank made cameo appearances in the film. The Cleaver houseThe Cleavers' address for the first two seasons was 485 Mapleton Drive, Mayfield. In the season-one episode "Beaver's Old Friend", Beaver states that the teddy bear (the "old friend") was given to him by his aunt at their old house, which implies that the Mapleton Drive was their second home. The family moved to 211 Pine Street, also in Mayfield, in season three. This house can still be seen at Universal Studios, though with the facade built for the 1996 production of the Leave it to Beaver movie — the original facade sits in storage elsewhere on the Universal lot (it was replaced in 1988 by the Klopek house for the following year's The 'Burbs) and is not shown on the tour. In 1969, it was used as the house for another Universal-produced television hit, Marcus Welby, M.D..Musical themeThe show's playfully-bouncy theme tune, which became as much of a show trademark as Beaver's baseball cap or Eddie Haskell's false obsequiousness, was "The Toy Parade," composed by David Kahn, Melvyn Leonard, and Mort Greene. For the final season, however, the song was given a jazz-like arrangement by veteran composer/arranger Pete Rugolo. The lyrics to the theme song are:Hey! Here they come with a rum-tee tum they're having a toy parade. A tin giraffe with a fife and drum is leading the kewpie parade. A gingham cat in a soldier's hat is waving a Chinese fan, A plastic clown in a wedding gown is dancing with Raggedy Ann. Fee fie fiddle dee dee they're crossing the living room floor Fee fie fiddle dee dee they're up to the dining room door. They call a halt for a choc'late malt or cookies and lemonade Then off they go with a ho ho ho right back to their toy brigade. DVD releasesUniversal Studios Home Entertainment has begun releasing Leave It to Beaver on DVD Region 1. They have released Seasons 1 and 2 thus far, and it is expected the remaining four seasons will follow.DVD Name Ep # Release Date The Complete First Season 39 November 22, 2005 The Complete Second Season 39 May 2, 2006 The Complete Third Season 39 TBA The Complete Fourth Season 39 TBA The Complete Fifth Season 39 TBA The Complete Sixth Season 39 TBA Urban legendsIn the mid 1970s, Mathers appeared on The Tomorrow Show hosted by Tom Snyder. Snyder pointed out that he hadn't worked for a long time and that there was rumor going around that he had been killed "in the war in Southeast Asia". Mathers politely replied that he had heard that rumor and that he had no idea how it got started. The earliest appearance of the story in print was in a student newspaper at the University of Kansas in 1972. Later the author admitted that she had only heard the story from someone who had heard it a party in Omaha, Nebraska earlier that year. The paper printed a retraction but by then the story had swept the nation and this silly rumor joined the rest of the legends of Americana. The story was later attributed to a member of a defunct Omaha comedy improv group whose hobby was concocting outrageous stories and then convincing people they were true. "Beaver died in Vietnam"[1] was a classic urban legend, memorable for its juxtaposition of prelapsarian 1950s imagery with the chaos and violence of the 1960s.Another urban legend was that actor Ken Osmond (Eddie Haskell) became porn star John Holmes. Holmes took Osmond's name and did several movies satirically under the name "Eddie Haskell". It started because there was some facial resemblance between the two men, which porn distributors exploited by using the name Eddie Haskell in advertising Holmes's films. "It was a pain in my butt for eleven years," says Osmond,[citation needed] who brought a defamation suit against porn houses, producers and distributors. Mr. Osmond launched a $25 million suit. The suit went all the way to the California Supreme Court. The court ruled for Mr. Holmes, saying the name was protected as a satire. This case set a precedent in the matter, and is still referred by other cases in California today.[4]In a Rolling Stone interview with rock singer, Alice Cooper stated that he was "Eddie Haskell" as a child. He was speaking metaphorically, yet some readers interpreted him literally.[citation needed]Horror SitCom Horror Sit Com Horror Sit-Com ...

Britain's Got Talent - Alex Lees - Stand-up Comedian

http://britainsgottalentauditions.com/Britain's Got TalentAlex Lees - Stand-up ComedianSchoolboy, 8Eight-year-old Alex Lees also changes in front of our eyes. He arrives in Blackpool as a singer, confidently belting out the Robbie and Kylie track Kids, and appears again in London, after following the judges' advice to tell jokes and do impressions instead. With great comic timing he impresses the judges, and even gets away with poking fun at Simon Cowell himself!taken from the official site: http://talent.itv.com/stories/viewStory/16461457Show 3 (Saturday, 26 April 2008 at 20:05) - 9.4 million (41.3% share)- peak: 9.8m (42.0%)Britain's Got Talent is a British television show on ITV (also on TV3 in Ireland). Presented by Ant & Dec, the talent show premiered on 9 June 2007, and was broadcast daily with a live final on 17 June 2007. It is a search for Britain's next best amateur talent act, featuring singers, dancers, comedians, variety acts, and other talents of all ages. Anyone who believed they have talent was encouraged to audition. The winner of the show received £100,000 and performed at the Royal Variety Performance in front of the Queen and members of the Royal Family at the Empire Theatre in Liverpool.As Britain's Got Talent returns for its second series, hosts Ant & Dec and judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan once again begin their search for Britain's most talented performer. The second series began on a primetime slot at 19:45 on 12 April and for the remainder of the auditions will continue in this Saturday night slot. Once the semi-finals begin they will be shown daily, like in series one, over one week 26 May - 30 May with the live final on Saturday 31 May.FormatThe series made its début soon after the conclusion of its U.S. counterpart, America's Got Talent, and is the creation of The X Factor and Pop Idol/American Idol mastermind Simon Cowell who has created a Got Talent series across the globe. On 12 February 2007 it was announced by ITV the judges would be Cowell, Piers Morgan (who had also judged America's Got Talent), and Amanda Holden (a late replacement for Cheryl Cole[1]). In a similar fashion to The X Factor, the show has an ITV2 counterpart called Britain's Got More Talent, presented by magician and former CITV presenter, Stephen Mulhern.The show was originally planned to air much earlier (before America's Got Talent) and be presented by Paul O'Grady. However, after O'Grady's defection to Channel 4 from ITV for The Paul O'Grady Show, O'Grady refused to appear in another ITV show, so the series was put on hold after just one rehearsal show.[2][3]The audition process is similar to The Gong Show but with the judges pressing buzzers instead of banging a gong. The buzzers can only be pressed once if the judge has seen enough, and when all three are pressed the act must stop. The auditions also include the added twist of having to perform in front of a studio audience alongside the judges. Once the act finishes or is stopped, judges express their opinions and decide whether they would like to see them in the semi-finals, with acts needing to receive a majority vote to go through. The audience is invited to express their views (often boos or cheers) which may have a positive or negative impact on a judge's decision, should the judge be unsure on whether to put the act through.taken from wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britain's_Got_TalentOfficial site: http://talent.itv.com/ ...

Eddie Haskell runs his own contracting business and has a son, Freddie, who is every inch his father's son — right down to the dual-personality. Feature film1997's movie adaptation of the series starred Christopher McDonald as Ward, Janine Turner as June, Erik von Detten as Wally, and Cameron Finley as Beaver. It was panned by many critics, except for Roger Ebert, who gave it a three-star rating. It flopped at the box office, earning only $11,713,605. Original TV co-stars Barbara Billingsley, Ken Osmond, and Frank Bank made cameo appearances in the film. The Cleaver houseThe Cleavers' address for the first two seasons was 485 Mapleton Drive, Mayfield. In the season-one episode "Beaver's Old Friend", Beaver states that the teddy bear (the "old friend") was given to him by his aunt at their old house, which implies that the Mapleton Drive was their second home. The family moved to 211 Pine Street, also in Mayfield, in season three. This house can still be seen at Universal Studios, though with the facade built for the 1996 production of the Leave it to Beaver movie — the original facade sits in storage elsewhere on the Universal lot (it was replaced in 1988 by the Klopek house for the following year's The 'Burbs) and is not shown on the tour. In 1969, it was used as the house for another Universal-produced television hit, Marcus Welby, M.D..Musical themeThe show's playfully-bouncy theme tune, which became as much of a show trademark as Beaver's baseball cap or Eddie Haskell's false obsequiousness, was "The Toy Parade," composed by David Kahn, Melvyn Leonard, and Mort Greene. For the final season, however, the song was given a jazz-like arrangement by veteran composer/arranger Pete Rugolo. The lyrics to the theme song are:Hey! Here they come with a rum-tee tum they're having a toy parade. A tin giraffe with a fife and drum is leading the kewpie parade. A gingham cat in a soldier's hat is waving a Chinese fan, A plastic clown in a wedding gown is dancing with Raggedy Ann. Fee fie fiddle dee dee they're crossing the living room floor Fee fie fiddle dee dee they're up to the dining room door.

Mathers politely replied that he had heard that rumor and that he had no idea how it got started. The earliest appearance of the story in print was in a student newspaper at the University of Kansas in 1972. Later the author admitted that she had only heard the story from someone who had heard it a party in Omaha, Nebraska earlier that year.

The story was later attributed to a member of a defunct Omaha comedy improv group whose hobby was concocting outrageous stories and then convincing people they were true. "Beaver died in Vietnam"[1] was a classic urban legend, memorable for its juxtaposition of prelapsarian 1950s imagery with the chaos and violence of the 1960s.Another urban legend was that actor Ken Osmond (Eddie Haskell) became porn star John Holmes. Holmes took Osmond's name and did several movies satirically under the name "Eddie Haskell". It started because there was some facial resemblance between the two men, which porn distributors exploited by using the name Eddie Haskell in advertising Holmes's films. "It was a pain in my butt for eleven years," says Osmond,[citation needed] who brought a defamation suit against porn houses, producers and distributors. Mr. Osmond launched a $25 million suit. The suit went all the way to the California Supreme Court. The court ruled for Mr. Holmes, saying the name was protected as a satire. This case set a precedent in the matter, and is still referred by other cases in California today.[4]In a Rolling Stone interview with rock singer, Alice Cooper stated that he was "Eddie Haskell" as a child.

Joyce Danelen, came to YT 2 send videos to her man (they are now married). I, guess the videos worked. Joyce made one mistake, Joyce commented on Cheryl Shuman (a known felon) video (the one where Cheryl Shuman was ranting about Phil Spector). The next day Cheryl Shuman, uploaded a video to have Joyce Danelen killed. Cheryl Shuman, has done this to Mario, Brian & several other people. This lunatic behavior has to stop, but Cheryl Shuman has elected to bring in her good friends Tracy York, from Ohio (a day care worker)& Andi Fisher (a suspended nurse) to stalk, harass & spread lies about Joyce Danelen nee. This behavior on the part of a felon, that can not practice giving out sunglasses, a suspended nurse, that can not go near a patient and a woman that watches your children/child. It's time for Cheryl Shuman, Tracy York & Andi Fisher to get a fucking life! We that know Joyce Danelen, love her. Joyce is a spiritual person, that has a good life. Please, do not believe a word the 900 suspended Cheryl Shuman has said. Tracy York, Cheryl Shuman's best friend & farting, bed pan, immature Andi Fisher are all spreading lies.

A Titillating Horror Sit-Com

Posted on Sun, 29 Jun 2008 11:44:38 -0500 in Good single malt scotch

A 2007 Titillating Horror SitCom Where Psycho meets The Beaver Leave It to Beaver hit the airwaves in 1957. The show from which these video clips were taken was the Pilot and never aired. Jerry Mathers played Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver Barbara Billingsley was June Cleaver, his Mom. Hugh Beaumont would be Ward and Tony Dow, Wally Cleaver, after the pilot. For the first, unaired show, Casey Adams played Ward. And another actor played Tony. Ken Osmond as Eddie Haskell did not show in the pilot, let alone Larry Mondello. I think I saw Dennis the Menace's neighbor in there too... !So I asked myself, "Wouldn't it be interesting to blend Alfred Hitchcoc's Horror / Thriller into that sit com?"'"No?" you say. Uh Ohhh - you must thus sit this one out for that's what I did anywayI combined Anthony Perkins as crazy Cleaver neighbor, Norman Bates - along with Janet Leigh as the other beaver, Marion Crane.Enjoy !Bill Stoll StollCo Video - 2007~~~Plot summary for Psycho (1960) Phoenix officeworker Marion Crane is fed up with the way life has treated her. She has to meet her lover Sam in lunch breaks and they cannot get married because Sam has to give most of his money away in alimony. One Friday Marion is trusted to bank $40,000 by her employer. Seeing the opportunity to take the money and start a new life, Marion leaves town and heads towards Sam's California store. Tired after the long drive and caught in a storm, she gets off the main highway and pulls into The Bates Motel. The motel is managed by a quiet young man called Norman who seems to be dominated by his mother. Written by Col Needham {col@imdb.com} For Marion Crane, it's been quite an eventful day. The day before, she had stolen $40,000 from her employer's client, packed her bags and driven all day on her way to join her paramour several hundred miles away. Now, she is taking a relaxing hot shower after her long day's journey. The remoteness of the motel suit her purposes perfectly. The only sounds heard are the chirping of the crickets, the splashing of the water, and her humming contentedly as the hot needles of water caress her aching shoulders. Written by filmfactsman Plot summary for Leave It to Beaver (1957) The Cleavers are the 1950's 'All-American Family' in this 'feel-good' family sitcom. Parents Ward and June, and older brother Wally, try to keep Theodore ('the Beaver') out of trouble. However, Beaver continues to end up in one kind of jam or another. Unlike real life, these situations are always easily resolved to the satisfaction of all involved and the Beaver gets off with a few stern moralistic words of parental advice. Instigator and troublemaker Eddie Haskal is an older kid who always manages to avoid being caught. ~~~Quentin Tarantino - Where are ya when we need you. The perfect art for your team is this...Leave It to BeaverLeave It to Beaver is an American television situation comedy about an idealized American family of the 1950s.CBS first aired the show on October 4, 1957, but decided to drop it within a year. ABC picked it up and ran it for another five years, from October 2, 1958 to June 20, 1963. It was produced by Gomalco Productions (1957-1961) and by Kayro Productions (1961-1963), and distributed by Revue Studios.PremiseThe show is built around young Theodore Cleaver (Jerry Mathers) and the trouble he gets himself into while navigating his way through an often-incomprehensible, sometimes-illogical world. When he was a baby, his older brother Wally (Tony Dow) mispronounced "Theodore" as "Tweedor". Their firm-but-loving parents, Ward (Hugh Beaumont) and June Cleaver (Barbara Billingsley), felt "Beaver" sounded better.Beaver's friends include the perpetually apple-munching Larry Mondello (Rusty Stevens) in the early seasons, and, later, Gilbert Bates (Stephen Talbot), as well as the old fireman, Gus (Burt Mustin). His sweet-natured-but-no-nonsense elementary school teachers are Miss Canfield (to whom Beaver declares his love in the episode entitled "Beaver's Crush") (Diane Brewster) and Miss Landers (Sue Randall); Mrs. Rayburn (Doris Packer) is the principal. In the early seasons, Beaver's nemesis in class is Judy Hensler (Jeri Weil).His brother Wally is popular with both peers and adults, getting into trouble much less frequently. He letters in four sports and has little difficulty attracting girlfriends, among them Mary Ellen Rogers (Pamela Baird) and Julie Foster (Cheryl Holdridge). His pals include the awkward Clarence "Lumpy" Rutherford (Frank Bank) and smart aleck Eddie Haskell (Ken Osmond), the archetype of the two-faced wiseguy, a braggard among his peers and an obsequious yes man to the adults he mocks behind their backs. Eddie often picks on the Beaver.The family lives in the fictional town of Mayfield. Beaver attends Grant Ave. Grammar School, and Wally, Mayfield High School (after graduating from Grant Ave. in season one). Cast=List of Leave It to Beaver cast members Jerry Mathers as Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver. The casting directors noticed that Mathers was uneasy and asked him where he'd rather be. Mathers replied that he'd rather be at camp. That boyish youthfulness got Mathers the part of Beaver.[citation needed] Tony Dow as Wally Cleaver Hugh Beaumont as Ward Cleaver. Before he made Ward Cleaver his acting trademark, Beaumont sometimes played villains in film and television. Most familiarly, he played a former convict, Dan Grayson, struggling to go straight for the sake of his wife and son, in 1953's "The Big Squeeze" episode of Adventures of Superman, a few years before Beaver. He directed a number of Leave It to Beaver episodes in the last two seasons, including the final one, the retrospective "Family Scrapbook". Beaumont was an ordained Methodist minister, who from 1974 until his death, sold live Christmas trees. Barbara Billingsley as June Cleaver. Billingsley has said that June Cleaver's wardrobe was more than a fashion statement. The pearl necklace hid neck shadows and high-heeled shoes were employed to offset the boys' growing height. Ken Osmond as Eddie Haskell. Osmond became a cop, serving eighteen years with the Los Angeles Police Department. Diane Brewster as Miss Canfield Sue Randall as Miss Landers Stephen Talbot as Gilbert Bates. Talbot works as a reporter for PBS' Frontline. Rusty Stevens as Larry Mondello Richard Correll as Richard Rickover Stanley Fafara as Whitey Whitney Jeri Weil as Judy Hensler Burt Mustin as Gus the fireman Frank Bank as Clarence "Lumpy" Rutherford Richard Deacon as Fred Rutherford, Lumpy's pompous, demanding father and Ward Cleaver's equally pompous, smug co-worker. Deacon was working a second job for much of the life of Leave It to Beaver; he was concurrently Alan Brady's (Carl Reiner's) brother-in-law/producer and Buddy Sorrell's Morey Amsterdam's foil on The Dick Van Dyke Show. Buddy Hart as Chester Anderson Tiger Fafara as Tooey Brown Pamela Baird as Mary Ellen Rogers Cheryl Holdridge as Julie Foster Cultural influenceLeave It to Beaver often aimed toward a moral lesson and is referenced even now as an emblem of simpler American times. Ward stated that his father "had a fine sense of values",[1] and if Ward himself sometimes seemed possessed of the gentility of a man of the cloth, it may have come from Beaumont's own background: he had become an ordained minister before he took up an acting career. June Cleaver, likewise, became a model of the archetypal suburban 1950s mother who wanted nothing more than to stay at home and take care of the family.The show strongly promoted the importance of family. The recurring themes expounded parental expectations for children, while the moral messages stressed the importance of teaching children proper behavior. Proper parenting techniques and methods for resolving problems and achieving consensus were demonstrated.The pervasive influence of the show was the subject of a theory proposed in 1965: that a prime cause of the Watts Riots was "Television Kitchens." A study was done of they types of kitchens that appeared in TV commercials for cleaning products and in sit-coms, like Leave It to Beaver. Those shown on TV belonged in houses worth far more than the average house at the time. But these kitchens were being shown over and over, day after day, to people whose own kitchens did not match up. The implicit comparison was obvious: "That's typical, and this is what I've got?" [2] EpisodesThe pilot episode, which aired on April 23, 1957, was entitled It's a Small World.[3] It featured Max Showalter as Ward Cleaver, and Paul Sullivan as Wally Cleaver. TBS re-aired the pilot on Sunday, October 4, 1987, to commemorate the show's 30th anniversary. SyndicationAfter 234 episodes, Leave It to Beaver ceased first-run production; however, the show didn't stay off the air for very long: reruns were part of CBS affiliates' lineups in the mornings for several years to come. TBS showed it for many years in the late 1980s, and now it airs on TV Land—where it has been shown since July 1998. Today, NBC Universal Television owns the syndication rights and all properties related to the series. SpinoffsA made-for-television reunion movie, Still the Beaver, appeared in 1983. The main original cast appeared, except for Beaumont, who had died the previous year. Ward Cleaver was still a presence, however: the film's story used numerous flashbacks to the original show, as it followed young-adult Beaver's struggle to reconcile divorce and newly-minted single fatherhood, straining to cope by what his father might or might not have done, while facing the possibility of his widowed mother selling their childhood home. June Cleaver is later elected to the Mayfield City Council.Its reception led to a new first-run, made-for-cable series, The New Leave It to Beaver (1985--1989), with Beaver and Lumpy Rutherford running Ward's old firm (where Lumpy's pompous, demanding father — played by Richard Deacon in the original series — had been the senior partner), Wally as a practicing attorney and expectant father, June having sold the old house to Beaver himself but living with him as a doting grandmother to Beaver's two small sons.

"What time is it?" she asked. "Three, you're the only one still asleep." Nick said with a slight laugh. "Oh, well thanks for waking me." She replied. She sat up and stretched again.

The perfect art for your team is this...Leave It to BeaverLeave It to Beaver is an American television situation comedy about an idealized American family of the 1950s.CBS first aired the show on October 4, 1957, but decided to drop it within a year. ABC picked it up and ran it for another five years, from October 2, 1958 to June 20, 1963. It was produced by Gomalco Productions (1957-1961) and by Kayro Productions (1961-1963), and distributed by Revue Studios.PremiseThe show is built around young Theodore Cleaver (Jerry Mathers) and the trouble he gets himself into while navigating his way through an often-incomprehensible, sometimes-illogical world. When he was a baby, his older brother Wally (Tony Dow) mispronounced "Theodore" as "Tweedor". Their firm-but-loving parents, Ward (Hugh Beaumont) and June Cleaver (Barbara Billingsley), felt "Beaver" sounded better.Beaver's friends include the perpetually apple-munching Larry Mondello (Rusty Stevens) in the early seasons, and, later, Gilbert Bates (Stephen Talbot), as well as the old fireman, Gus (Burt Mustin). His sweet-natured-but-no-nonsense elementary school teachers are Miss Canfield (to whom Beaver declares his love in the episode entitled "Beaver's Crush") (Diane Brewster) and Miss Landers (Sue Randall); Mrs. Rayburn (Doris Packer) is the principal. In the early seasons, Beaver's nemesis in class is Judy Hensler (Jeri Weil).His brother Wally is popular with both peers and adults, getting into trouble much less frequently. He letters in four sports and has little difficulty attracting girlfriends, among them Mary Ellen Rogers (Pamela Baird) and Julie Foster (Cheryl Holdridge). His pals include the awkward Clarence "Lumpy" Rutherford (Frank Bank) and smart aleck Eddie Haskell (Ken Osmond), the archetype of the two-faced wiseguy, a braggard among his peers and an obsequious yes man to the adults he mocks behind their backs. Eddie often picks on the Beaver.The family lives in the fictional town of Mayfield. Beaver attends Grant Ave. Grammar School, and Wally, Mayfield High School (after graduating from Grant Ave. in season one). Cast=List of Leave It to Beaver cast members Jerry Mathers as Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver. The casting directors noticed that Mathers was uneasy and asked him where he'd rather be. Mathers replied that he'd rather be at camp. That boyish youthfulness got Mathers the part of Beaver.[citation needed] Tony Dow as Wally Cleaver Hugh Beaumont as Ward Cleaver. Before he made Ward Cleaver his acting trademark, Beaumont sometimes played villains in film and television. Most familiarly, he played a former convict, Dan Grayson, struggling to go straight for the sake of his wife and son, in 1953's "The Big Squeeze" episode of Adventures of Superman, a few years before Beaver. He directed a number of Leave It to Beaver episodes in the last two seasons, including the final one, the retrospective "Family Scrapbook". Beaumont was an ordained Methodist minister, who from 1974 until his death, sold live Christmas trees. Barbara Billingsley as June Cleaver. Billingsley has said that June Cleaver's wardrobe was more than a fashion statement. The pearl necklace hid neck shadows and high-heeled shoes were employed to offset the boys' growing height.

Deacon was working a second job for much of the life of Leave It to Beaver; he was concurrently Alan Brady's (Carl Reiner's) brother-in-law/producer and Buddy Sorrell's Morey Amsterdam's foil on The Dick Van Dyke Show. Buddy Hart as Chester Anderson Tiger Fafara as Tooey Brown Pamela Baird as Mary Ellen Rogers Cheryl Holdridge as Julie Foster Cultural influenceLeave It to Beaver often aimed toward a moral lesson and is referenced even now as an emblem of simpler American times. Ward stated that his father "had a fine sense of values",[1] and if Ward himself sometimes seemed possessed of the gentility of a man of the cloth, it may have come from Beaumont's own background: he had become an ordained minister before he took up an acting career. June Cleaver, likewise, became a model of the archetypal suburban 1950s mother who wanted nothing more than to stay at home and take care of the family.The show strongly promoted the importance of family. The recurring themes expounded parental expectations for children, while the moral messages stressed the importance of teaching children proper behavior. Proper parenting techniques and methods for resolving problems and achieving consensus were demonstrated.The pervasive influence of the show was the subject of a theory proposed in 1965: that a prime cause of the Watts Riots was "Television Kitchens." A study was done of they types of kitchens that appeared in TV commercials for cleaning products and in sit-coms, like Leave It to Beaver. Those shown on TV belonged in houses worth far more than the average house at the time. But these kitchens were being shown over and over, day after day, to people whose own kitchens did not match up. The implicit comparison was obvious: "That's typical, and this is what I've got?" [2] EpisodesThe pilot episode, which aired on April 23, 1957, was entitled It's a Small World.[3] It featured Max Showalter as Ward Cleaver, and Paul Sullivan as Wally Cleaver. TBS re-aired the pilot on Sunday, October 4, 1987, to commemorate the show's 30th anniversary. SyndicationAfter 234 episodes, Leave It to Beaver ceased first-run production; however, the show didn't stay off the air for very long: reruns were part of CBS affiliates' lineups in the mornings for several years to come. TBS showed it for many years in the late 1980s, and now it airs on TV Land—where it has been shown since July 1998. Today, NBC Universal Television owns the syndication rights and all properties related to the series. SpinoffsA made-for-television reunion movie, Still the Beaver, appeared in 1983. The main original cast appeared, except for Beaumont, who had died the previous year. Ward Cleaver was still a presence, however: the film's story used numerous flashbacks to the original show, as it followed young-adult Beaver's struggle to reconcile divorce and newly-minted single fatherhood, straining to cope by what his father might or might not have done, while facing the possibility of his widowed mother selling their childhood home. June Cleaver is later elected to the Mayfield City Council.Its reception led to a new first-run, made-for-cable series, The New Leave It to Beaver (1985--1989), with Beaver and Lumpy Rutherford running Ward's old firm (where Lumpy's pompous, demanding father — played by Richard Deacon in the original series — had been the senior partner), Wally as a practicing attorney and expectant father, June having sold the old house to Beaver himself but living with him as a doting grandmother to Beaver's two small sons. Eddie Haskell runs his own contracting business and has a son, Freddie, who is every inch his father's son — right down to the dual-personality. Feature film1997's movie adaptation of the series starred Christopher McDonald as Ward, Janine Turner as June, Erik von Detten as Wally, and Cameron Finley as Beaver. It was panned by many critics, except for Roger Ebert, who gave it a three-star rating. It flopped at the box office, earning only $11,713,605. Original TV co-stars Barbara Billingsley, Ken Osmond, and Frank Bank made cameo appearances in the film. The Cleaver houseThe Cleavers' address for the first two seasons was 485 Mapleton Drive, Mayfield. In the season-one episode "Beaver's Old Friend", Beaver states that the teddy bear (the "old friend") was given to him by his aunt at their old house, which implies that the Mapleton Drive was their second home. The family moved to 211 Pine Street, also in Mayfield, in season three. This house can still be seen at Universal Studios, though with the facade built for the 1996 production of the Leave it to Beaver movie — the original facade sits in storage elsewhere on the Universal lot (it was replaced in 1988 by the Klopek house for the following year's The 'Burbs) and is not shown on the tour. In 1969, it was used as the house for another Universal-produced television hit, Marcus Welby, M.D..Musical themeThe show's playfully-bouncy theme tune, which became as much of a show trademark as Beaver's baseball cap or Eddie Haskell's false obsequiousness, was "The Toy Parade," composed by David Kahn, Melvyn Leonard, and Mort Greene. For the final season, however, the song was given a jazz-like arrangement by veteran composer/arranger Pete Rugolo. The lyrics to the theme song are:Hey! Here they come with a rum-tee tum they're having a toy parade. A tin giraffe with a fife and drum is leading the kewpie parade. A gingham cat in a soldier's hat is waving a Chinese fan, A plastic clown in a wedding gown is dancing with Raggedy Ann. Fee fie fiddle dee dee they're crossing the living room floor Fee fie fiddle dee dee they're up to the dining room door. They call a halt for a choc'late malt or cookies and lemonade Then off they go with a ho ho ho right back to their toy brigade.

They have released Seasons 1 and 2 thus far, and it is expected the remaining four seasons will follow.DVD Name Ep # Release Date The Complete First Season 39 November 22, 2005 The Complete Second Season 39 May 2, 2006 The Complete Third Season 39 TBA The Complete Fourth Season 39 TBA The Complete Fifth Season 39 TBA The Complete Sixth Season 39 TBA Urban legendsIn the mid 1970s, Mathers appeared on The Tomorrow Show hosted by Tom Snyder. Snyder pointed out that he hadn't worked for a long time and that there was rumor going around that he had been killed "in the war in Southeast Asia". Mathers politely replied that he had heard that rumor and that he had no idea how it got started. The earliest appearance of the story in print was in a student newspaper at the University of Kansas in 1972. Later the author admitted that she had only heard the story from someone who had heard it a party in Omaha, Nebraska earlier that year. The paper printed a retraction but by then the story had swept the nation and this silly rumor joined the rest of the legends of Americana. The story was later attributed to a member of a defunct Omaha comedy improv group whose hobby was concocting outrageous stories and then convincing people they were true. "Beaver died in Vietnam"[1] was a classic urban legend, memorable for its juxtaposition of prelapsarian 1950s imagery with the chaos and violence of the 1960s.Another urban legend was that actor Ken Osmond (Eddie Haskell) became porn star John Holmes. Holmes took Osmond's name and did several movies satirically under the name "Eddie Haskell". It started because there was some facial resemblance between the two men, which porn distributors exploited by using the name Eddie Haskell in advertising Holmes's films. "It was a pain in my butt for eleven years," says Osmond,[citation needed] who brought a defamation suit against porn houses, producers and distributors. Mr. Osmond launched a $25 million suit. The suit went all the way to the California Supreme Court. The court ruled for Mr. Holmes, saying the name was protected as a satire. This case set a precedent in the matter, and is still referred by other cases in California today.[4]In a Rolling Stone interview with rock singer, Alice Cooper stated that he was "Eddie Haskell" as a child. He was speaking metaphorically, yet some readers interpreted him literally.[citation needed]Horror SitCom Horror Sit Com Horror Sit-Com ...

Their firm-but-loving parents, Ward (Hugh Beaumont) and June Cleaver (Barbara Billingsley), felt "Beaver" sounded better.Beaver's friends include the perpetually apple-munching Larry Mondello (Rusty Stevens) in the early seasons, and, later, Gilbert Bates (Stephen Talbot), as well as the old fireman, Gus (Burt Mustin). His sweet-natured-but-no-nonsense elementary school teachers are Miss Canfield (to whom Beaver declares his love in the episode entitled "Beaver's Crush") (Diane Brewster) and Miss Landers (Sue Randall); Mrs. Rayburn (Doris Packer) is the principal. In the early seasons, Beaver's nemesis in class is Judy Hensler (Jeri Weil).His brother Wally is popular with both peers and adults, getting into trouble much less frequently. He letters in four sports and has little difficulty attracting girlfriends, among them Mary Ellen Rogers (Pamela Baird) and Julie Foster (Cheryl Holdridge). His pals include the awkward Clarence "Lumpy" Rutherford (Frank Bank) and smart aleck Eddie Haskell (Ken Osmond), the archetype of the two-faced wiseguy, a braggard among his peers and an obsequious yes man to the adults he mocks behind their backs. Eddie often picks on the Beaver.The family lives in the fictional town of Mayfield. Beaver attends Grant Ave. Grammar School, and Wally, Mayfield High School (after graduating from Grant Ave. in season one). Cast=List of Leave It to Beaver cast members Jerry Mathers as Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver. The casting directors noticed that Mathers was uneasy and asked him where he'd rather be. Mathers replied that he'd rather be at camp. That boyish youthfulness got Mathers the part of Beaver.[citation needed] Tony Dow as Wally Cleaver Hugh Beaumont as Ward Cleaver. Before he made Ward Cleaver his acting trademark, Beaumont sometimes played villains in film and television. Most familiarly, he played a former convict, Dan Grayson, struggling to go straight for the sake of his wife and son, in 1953's "The Big Squeeze" episode of Adventures of Superman, a few years before Beaver. He directed a number of Leave It to Beaver episodes in the last two seasons, including the final one, the retrospective "Family Scrapbook". Beaumont was an ordained Methodist minister, who from 1974 until his death, sold live Christmas trees. Barbara Billingsley as June Cleaver. Billingsley has said that June Cleaver's wardrobe was more than a fashion statement. The pearl necklace hid neck shadows and high-heeled shoes were employed to offset the boys' growing height. Ken Osmond as Eddie Haskell. Osmond became a cop, serving eighteen years with the Los Angeles Police Department. Diane Brewster as Miss Canfield Sue Randall as Miss Landers Stephen Talbot as Gilbert Bates. Talbot works as a reporter for PBS' Frontline. Rusty Stevens as Larry Mondello Richard Correll as Richard Rickover Stanley Fafara as Whitey Whitney Jeri Weil as Judy Hensler Burt Mustin as Gus the fireman Frank Bank as Clarence "Lumpy" Rutherford Richard Deacon as Fred Rutherford, Lumpy's pompous, demanding father and Ward Cleaver's equally pompous, smug co-worker. Deacon was working a second job for much of the life of Leave It to Beaver; he was concurrently Alan Brady's (Carl Reiner's) brother-in-law/producer and Buddy Sorrell's Morey Amsterdam's foil on The Dick Van Dyke Show. Buddy Hart as Chester Anderson Tiger Fafara as Tooey Brown Pamela Baird as Mary Ellen Rogers Cheryl Holdridge as Julie Foster Cultural influenceLeave It to Beaver often aimed toward a moral lesson and is referenced even now as an emblem of simpler American times. Ward stated that his father "had a fine sense of values",[1] and if Ward himself sometimes seemed possessed of the gentility of a man of the cloth, it may have come from Beaumont's own background: he had become an ordained minister before he took up an acting career. June Cleaver, likewise, became a model of the archetypal suburban 1950s mother who wanted nothing more than to stay at home and take care of the family.The show strongly promoted the importance of family. The recurring themes expounded parental expectations for children, while the moral messages stressed the importance of teaching children proper behavior. Proper parenting techniques and methods for resolving problems and achieving consensus were demonstrated.The pervasive influence of the show was the subject of a theory proposed in 1965: that a prime cause of the Watts Riots was "Television Kitchens." A study was done of they types of kitchens that appeared in TV commercials for cleaning products and in sit-coms, like Leave It to Beaver. Those shown on TV belonged in houses worth far more than the average house at the time. But these kitchens were being shown over and over, day after day, to people whose own kitchens did not match up. The implicit comparison was obvious: "That's typical, and this is what I've got?" [2] EpisodesThe pilot episode, which aired on April 23, 1957, was entitled It's a Small World.[3] It featured Max Showalter as Ward Cleaver, and Paul Sullivan as Wally Cleaver. TBS re-aired the pilot on Sunday, October 4, 1987, to commemorate the show's 30th anniversary. SyndicationAfter 234 episodes, Leave It to Beaver ceased first-run production; however, the show didn't stay off the air for very long: reruns were part of CBS affiliates' lineups in the mornings for several years to come. TBS showed it for many years in the late 1980s, and now it airs on TV Land—where it has been shown since July 1998. Today, NBC Universal Television owns the syndication rights and all properties related to the series. SpinoffsA made-for-television reunion movie, Still the Beaver, appeared in 1983. The main original cast appeared, except for Beaumont, who had died the previous year. Ward Cleaver was still a presence, however: the film's story used numerous flashbacks to the original show, as it followed young-adult Beaver's struggle to reconcile divorce and newly-minted single fatherhood, straining to cope by what his father might or might not have done, while facing the possibility of his widowed mother selling their childhood home. June Cleaver is later elected to the Mayfield City Council.Its reception led to a new first-run, made-for-cable series, The New Leave It to Beaver (1985--1989), with Beaver and Lumpy Rutherford running Ward's old firm (where Lumpy's pompous, demanding father — played by Richard Deacon in the original series — had been the senior partner), Wally as a practicing attorney and expectant father, June having sold the old house to Beaver himself but living with him as a doting grandmother to Beaver's two small sons. Eddie Haskell runs his own contracting business and has a son, Freddie, who is every inch his father's son — right down to the dual-personality. Feature film1997's movie adaptation of the series starred Christopher McDonald as Ward, Janine Turner as June, Erik von Detten as Wally, and Cameron Finley as Beaver. It was panned by many critics, except for Roger Ebert, who gave it a three-star rating. It flopped at the box office, earning only $11,713,605. Original TV co-stars Barbara Billingsley, Ken Osmond, and Frank Bank made cameo appearances in the film. The Cleaver houseThe Cleavers' address for the first two seasons was 485 Mapleton Drive, Mayfield. In the season-one episode "Beaver's Old Friend", Beaver states that the teddy bear (the "old friend") was given to him by his aunt at their old house, which implies that the Mapleton Drive was their second home. The family moved to 211 Pine Street, also in Mayfield, in season three. This house can still be seen at Universal Studios, though with the facade built for the 1996 production of the Leave it to Beaver movie — the original facade sits in storage elsewhere on the Universal lot (it was replaced in 1988 by the Klopek house for the following year's The 'Burbs) and is not shown on the tour. In 1969, it was used as the house for another Universal-produced television hit, Marcus Welby, M.D..Musical themeThe show's playfully-bouncy theme tune, which became as much of a show trademark as Beaver's baseball cap or Eddie Haskell's false obsequiousness, was "The Toy Parade," composed by David Kahn, Melvyn Leonard, and Mort Greene. For the final season, however, the song was given a jazz-like arrangement by veteran composer/arranger Pete Rugolo. The lyrics to the theme song are:Hey! Here they come with a rum-tee tum they're having a toy parade. A tin giraffe with a fife and drum is leading the kewpie parade. A gingham cat in a soldier's hat is waving a Chinese fan, A plastic clown in a wedding gown is dancing with Raggedy Ann. Fee fie fiddle dee dee they're crossing the living room floor Fee fie fiddle dee dee they're up to the dining room door. They call a halt for a choc'late malt or cookies and lemonade Then off they go with a ho ho ho right back to their toy brigade. DVD releasesUniversal Studios Home Entertainment has begun releasing Leave It to Beaver on DVD Region 1. They have released Seasons 1 and 2 thus far, and it is expected the remaining four seasons will follow.DVD Name Ep # Release Date The Complete First Season 39 November 22, 2005 The Complete Second Season 39 May 2, 2006 The Complete Third Season 39 TBA The Complete Fourth Season 39 TBA The Complete Fifth Season 39 TBA The Complete Sixth Season 39 TBA Urban legendsIn the mid 1970s, Mathers appeared on The Tomorrow Show hosted by Tom Snyder. Snyder pointed out that he hadn't worked for a long time and that there was rumor going around that he had been killed "in the war in Southeast Asia". Mathers politely replied that he had heard that rumor and that he had no idea how it got started. The earliest appearance of the story in print was in a student newspaper at the University of Kansas in 1972. Later the author admitted that she had only heard the story from someone who had heard it a party in Omaha, Nebraska earlier that year. The paper printed a retraction but by then the story had swept the nation and this silly rumor joined the rest of the legends of Americana. The story was later attributed to a member of a defunct Omaha comedy improv group whose hobby was concocting outrageous stories and then convincing people they were true. "Beaver died in Vietnam"[1] was a classic urban legend, memorable for its juxtaposition of prelapsarian 1950s imagery with the chaos and violence of the 1960s.Another urban legend was that actor Ken Osmond (Eddie Haskell) became porn star John Holmes. Holmes took Osmond's name and did several movies satirically under the name "Eddie Haskell". It started because there was some facial resemblance between the two men, which porn distributors exploited by using the name Eddie Haskell in advertising Holmes's films. "It was a pain in my butt for eleven years," says Osmond,[citation needed] who brought a defamation suit against porn houses, producers and distributors. Mr. Osmond launched a $25 million suit. The suit went all the way to the California Supreme Court. The court ruled for Mr. Holmes, saying the name was protected as a satire. This case set a precedent in the matter, and is still referred by other cases in California today.[4]In a Rolling Stone interview with rock singer, Alice Cooper stated that he was "Eddie Haskell" as a child. He was speaking metaphorically, yet some readers interpreted him literally.[citation needed]Horror SitCom Horror Sit Com Horror Sit-Com ...

Oakley - To You (1980)

Posted on Wed, 18 Jun 2008 09:44:52 -0500 in Repair

Halifax band Oakley with the song "To You", from their self titled release of 1980The Oakley Band was formed in Halifax, Nova Scotia by Ritchie Oakley after the demise of the popular Maritime group Soma. Oakley attracted an ensemble of "the best of the best" Maritime players: Wayne Nicholson and Doug MacKay (ex-Horse); 17 year-old bassist Bruce Dixon, from the band Sandy Road and keyboardist John Lee. In very little time The Oakley Band firmly established itself as the hardest rocking group in the area performing southern rock & blues through a blend of original material and classic covers tunes. Lee left the band in 1977 and was replaced by ex-Redeye member Bill McCauley. With Oakley and Nicholson the two principle writers in the band, they set about writing and recording a self-titled debut in 1980. The album shipped gold (50,000 copies). Three singles were extracted from the album for radio -- "Ride 'Em Cowboy", "Stickin' With You", and "She's Gone". "She's Gone" also appeared on the 1982 Eastern Alliance along with the "I Almost Call Your Name." The Oakley Band worked continuously touring across the country and playing the summer festival circuit. With a reputation for being bad boys-working hard and playing hard, they shared stages with such heavyweights as The Doobie Brothers, Blue Rodeo and April Wine. When Dixon moved on to other opportunities, former Soma member Donnie Morris came on board. A second guitarist, Dave Gallant, was added in 1981. Despite their strong following the band broke up in 1982. Since then Ritchie Oakley has partnered with Sam Moon to form Sam Moon/Ritchie Oakley Power Unit -- still playing occasional gigs together to this day. Oakley also has a long term stint with popular East Coast Country band Fandango. In 1995 Oakley was honoured by the Nova Scotia Country Music Association as both "Songwriter Of The Year" and "Instrumentalist Of The Year". The Music Industry Association of Nova Scotia named him 'Producer of the Year" in 1998. He is currently under contract in the role of Music Director for John Curtis Sampson, ECMA 2000 winner for "Best New Artist" and Country Artist of the Year." After 1982 Wayne Nicholson joined the New Glasgow band Granfalloon and recorded the single, "Cheater" which became a local hit. After a stint in Calgary, he returned to Halifax and launched his solo career. After releasing his first project, he signed with Loggerhead records and has recorded a total of 3 CD's, which garnered multiple ECMA nominations. His most recent success has been producing the critically acclaimed debut by The Carson Downey Band. Dixon and McCauley went on to work with Cape Breton's Rita MacNeil. Dixon is currently touring with Roch Voisine. He is sought after for music director positions and is currently working with Ian Janes on his next project. Doug MacKay has played with Sam Moon, Dutch Mason, Sharon B., and most recently, with Joe Murphy and The Water Street Blues Band; Gallant played with Cheryl Lescom for several years and pursues another passion - guitar repair; Morris is the long time bassist for country artist Louisa Manuel. Oakley, Nicholson, MacKay, Dixon, McCauley and Gallant reunited on three occasions since officially disbanding. With notes from Anne Oakley and Peter Crowe ...
