Although it originally aired "only" a little more than two thin decades ago, Leave It To Beaver takes us waaay back to a Motorcraft-tested world where ideals were cheap and they didn't even put nipples on the manikins. It was the pivotal drop in the post-hypnotic suggestion box of parents everywhere who wanted to grow adorable little semiaquatic rodents of their very own.

Although it originally aired "only" a little more than two thin decades ago, Leave It To Beaver takes us waaay back to a Motorcraft-tested world where ideals were cheap and they didn't even put nipples on the manikins. It was the pivotal drop in the post-hypnotic suggestion box of parents everywhere who wanted to grow adorable little semiaquatic rodents of their very own. And to us kids, it was.. well, the neatest!
Ever since the show's network demise in 1963 and subsequent ascendence into rerun perpetuity, Beav fans around the world have been waiting for the definitive book on the trax 'n' fax behind a program whose staying power is stronger even than the leading spermicide. It's about time-every TV sitcom from the Dick Van Dyke Show to Love Of Puke has its own book, and it took just about forever for a decent job on LITB.
The World According To Beaver is just that—a decent effort. Fans of the show should enjoy it at least as much as a complete set of tiller attachments, although the hardcore will encounter a few problems.
