One thing I noticed with Leave it to Beaver week is that they did fit in more questions for HS. On the last episode of that week, they got to 15 questions, which isn't too bad.
Then again, that week only had Gallagher as the comedy relief, and the rest of the Beaver cast weren't exactly "scene stealers" that were eating up time like Fred Travelena, Arsenio, and Edie McClurg tended to do.
This week wasn't too long before Still the Beaver would premiere on the Disney Channel. After one season, TBS picked it up where it ran for 3 more seasons, re-titling it The New Leave it to Beaver. Kaleena Kiff played Beaver's daughter, and she was previously on Love, Sidney and Ken Osmond's real life sons played the sons of Eddie Haskell.
Leave it to Beaver would resurface as a 1997 movie, with a few alums returning in different roles, with the exception of Ken Osmond, the film's only highlight, as Eddie Haskell. The movie otherwise had vague connections with the original series... Beaver in the movie was more like Dennis the Menace. Jerry Mathers was offered a role, but upon reading the script, he said "This isn't the Leave it to Beaver I remember." and declined the role. Christopher McDonald, who was great as Jack Barry, didn't do justice as Ward Cleaver.
