Abnoxious...........

I use to like this show,but beaver is so abnoxious how can anyone sit through this show. the kid lies,and repeats his actions in every episode that it leaves one to think why he never learns from his mistakes...The show is truly dated,and i really enjoy old family sitcoms but the beaver gets on my nerves he is stupid and such a baby,and always feels sorry for himself..........For devoted fans of this show only..............i know people are going to rate my review as unhelpful due to stating the truth....I just don't find this show charming at all.I learned from my mistakes,apparently beaver doesnt....

Boys will be boys.

My nephews aged 4 and 8 just love this DVD set. Although Wally and Beaver are at least 50 years older than my nephews, my little boys are rolling in laughter with each episode. July 28, 2008

"The Beav" is the best!

The show's content and messages are timeless treasures that are enoyable for all generations. Leave it to Beaver portrays family life in a positive way. In today's society this is hard to find. This dvd set is a great one to add to your family movie collection! July 26, 2008

Totally inappropriate trailers

Leave It To Beaver is in my top 3 favorite television programs of all time - so I was exited to be able to buy the whole first season in one set.

However, and this is a huge however, Universal stuck some highly offensive ads for other television collections and movies on the front.

Provocative television programs and Brokeback Mountain with Leave It To Beaver? Who is this perverted world makes decisions like this?

After just receiving this in the mail from Amazon, I put it on for my grandsons to watch. Their dvd player doesn't have a remote or a menu option, so I couldn't skip the ads. I finally just turned it off.

I dearly love Leave It To Beaver, but this set violates the very essence of the show.

I do NOT recommend this set.

You have to LOVE the Beav

Although Leave It To Beaver debuted on television long before I was born, I have watched it in syndication for years. I've seen every episode aired (including the pilot) and it's made a permanent home in my heart. :) What can I say? There is just something so special about this show. The funny predicaments Beaver found himself in, the lessons Ward tried to teach his sons, and the way Beaver made you smile just by being "the Beav". But let's not forget Wally! His own uniqueness is not to be dismissed, and I loved Tony Dow's acting every bit as much. Just an all-around great show - one they just don't seem to produce any more. When it came to DVD, I knew I had to own it. As well as Season Two. My only complaint is, why haven't they come out with the other seasons??? In any case, this was definitely a must have in my book. Love this show so much!!! April 11, 2008
