It's just a nice show.

"Leave it to Beaver" is one of the better older shows.  I wouldn't say that it's my favorite, but because of when it was created I give it credit and lets just say that when it's on TV Land, I won't change the channel.

1957. Ahh, what a great year.  By watching a few episodes of this show, I would guess that it was created later than when it actually was.  It wasn't too ahead of its time, but it definitely stood out from the others. "Beaver" is so pleasant and peaceful.  It's nice (yet sometimes frustrating) knowing that each and every episode will end happily ever after, so to speak.

I like the cast, especially Tony Dow, but there's something that bugs me about Barbara Billingsley.  Overall, the cast fits nicely together and accomplishes to put together a few good seasons.

The writing is alright - a little bland, a little silly, but still enjoyable.  I like "Leave it to Beaver" because it's a show where nothing bad, nothing inappropriate will ever occur, and hey, it's nice to see kids saying "gee" and "gosh, mom".  (That just makes me laugh a little every time I hear that from the Beaver.)
