Tony Dow, You gave me a lot of pleasure in your show leave it to Beaver. I'm rewatching it now @ 70 years old. Takes me back to my childhood, both my parents are deceased now and I lost my 19 year old son 33 years ago. I wish the world was like it was back when I was a child. Your show reminds me of those happier times in my life. I know you are deceased now and I'm so sorry your no longer among us. But you gave so much pleasure to so many of us when you played wally in leave it to beaver. Thank You Tony Dow (WALLY) Rest in peace.
Sounds so familiar to me at 68 I lost my only child 9 years ago. A 24 year old boy that I think about daily. Leave it to Beaver reminds me of my childhood too and I watch it every day as I have a little brother 3 years younger in real life and I can really relate to each episode. Our parents were a lot like Ward and June and we often called them that. RIP Tony Dow and thank you for being you. Amazing how this show is still watched worldwide by millions of viewers.
I've started watching LITB at night when I'm going to bed and I love it because all the old sitcoms are just so comforting. But since I've started watching it, I've realized that Wally is just about my favorite character, he is hilarious. I love how it was so clean, and they had such respect for their parents. Those were such sweet times.
Leave it to Beaver will still be on air 100 years from now. Shows back then had class. A family show for all ages unlike some of today's (in my opinion).
I'm with you. This is why I do not watch today's television anymore. I go back and watch shows that came out way before I came along because they are wholesome and so good.
Leave it to Beaver was in a class by itself, no other show back then solely revolved around the kids. The writers and cast did it well and gave us an endearing show.
Leave it to beaver Jerry matters Tony Dow good sitcom ward June cleaver 💡📽️🎬👐 great growing up with them as a child watch still to this day📺 on me tv 📺 be safe 🌏 🧤😷 classic Legends 5🌟⭐⭐⭐⭐👍♥️
Wally Cleaver really epitomized the roll of a big brother. A talented actor who had the skill to transport a person watching reruns in the new milmillennium, to late 50s, early 60s suburbs. Great talent by any standard.
I just watched the re-runs of the first THREE seasons of "Leave It To Beaver!" I absolutely adore this show...so entertaining and wholesome. Every character is wonderful, but I really loved Wally! He's STILL cute!
My husband and I have them all recorded. Just because we loved the Cleavers!!! It comes on at 3am and those of us who have trouble sleeping...😀😉 RIP Tony. You sure filled my childhood with great memories! ❤❤🌹🌹
The reruns of the show was a big part of my childhood in the 1980s. Ward and June cleaver were almost like a second set of parents that I learned a lot of good values from watching the show, and I still watch the show to this day.
Wonderful to hear. Pass it on to your kids if you haven't already! These kind of shows need to be watched by this generation if they would give it a chance!
R.I.P... Tony Dow. I'm still a fan of your TV show, Leave It To Beaver. With all the fast pace shows and way of the world, this show still gives me peace. Love you and Jerry Mathers in the original Leave it to Beaver. A true classic. You will always be remembered as an actor , artists and a great human being.
As a 81 year old I still like to watch reruns of the LITB show and now I will be sad thinking that Tony Dow is no longer with us. RIP Tony you will be missed but not forgotten. Sincere sympathy to his family and friends. He left the world a better place.
Leave It To Beaver is a great show, this was a great interview - Tony Dow's voice sounds exactly the same as when he was a teen on the show! Thanks, MeTV for showing it every morning!
Ward cleaver reminded me so much of my dad he would let you have it when you needed it but at the end of the day he had your back! This was a wonderful show about family!
I am 75 years old. "Leave it to Beaver," along with the many other TV classics were an influential part of the early years of my generation. There was a sense of decency about these shows, a promotion of good values, character, integrity. While real life, even in the fifties, was not perfect, Hollywood at least tried to present a good face, with positive role models. Later on, as we all have witnessed, Hollywood went for the controversial, grungy, tasteless, crude type of humor. If it weren't for reruns, we would be stuck with the crap that reflects Hollywood values today, and TV would remain the wasteland it has strived to be.
Wally and beaver are soooo cute!! I love watching this show!! It reminds me of the times when young men and children and adults still believed in good morals and principles!! I wish they would make more shows like this one in our days!!Tony still has the aura of a good and really kind person until this day!1 Such a beautiful man!!
That’s my favorite episode too. Ward thinks the boys had an adventure in the woods the first morning but they found a town and had burgers and bought comic books. It was great that at the end Ward thought they should all head back home but the boys finally did discover some imaginative fun and begged to stay. Great episode Mr. Dow!
I had a crush on Wally when the show first aired and I still do! Wally is my all time favourite child character...Tony is still as handsome as ever, great interview! Thanks for posting it
Tony is one hell of a nice guy, I had met him about 10 years or so ago at Comic-con in Novi, Michigan at the Detroit Motor City Convention..My brothers and I talked to him for about 45 minutes..My brother lent him his cell phone and he made a surprise phone call to our mother, she almost fainted talking to Tony, LOL..Later on at a different Comic-con in Novi a couple of years later we had also met Frank Bank (Lumpy) and Ken Osmond (Eddie Haskell) two awesome guys as well..R.I.P Frank Bank..I still enjoy watching re-runs of Leave It To Beaver every morning on ME-TV..
Heart warming. My encounter with Mr. Tony D is significantly less. Are you sitting down? Several years ago I was in an AM/PM where I realized Tony was in a line to pay after getting gas. I love Wally so much but was unprepared to meet him and didn't think it appropriate to call attention to him in line.
Tony Dow shows exactly what he is, -a real nice guy. Most of the child actors on that show were treated well because all of them, came out of it ok. An example is "Eddie Haskel" was a highly decorated LA police man.
I saw Tony Dow in a gas station years ago in Santa Monica gassing up his Porsche and almost died! He was still dreamy but I just lost my voice! I couldn't say a thing! I so regret just not saying Gee, Wally! Years ago my sister and I drove past the Beaver's house in Santa Clarita and he was out mowing his lawn! My visiting niece almost lost her mind!
@@susansquier2435 I stood very close to singer Harry Chapin and was too shy to speak with him. Years letter his brother performed in upstate NY. I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with him!! I mentioned how shy I was and wish I had spoken to Harry. I actually saw him twice. Being a secretary at our local college I am sure someone would have arranged a meet and greet. Anyway, Tom said he loved his fans and posed for photos, etc. and probably would have asked me to dinner! Since that happened several years ago, I am not afraid to speak if opportunity arises to meet them. I have met and talked with several stars over the years. Very fond memories 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
it is very sad to see a man who had gracefully aged and was really happy. he seemed so good and healthy. he never lost thev essence of Wally and a good spirit. bless you !!
I grew up watching Tony, Jerry, Barbara and Hugh. At 68 years old now I still watch them with my coffee and enjoy them as much as I did in the early 1960s
Tony was a very nice guy. We enjoyed talking to him at Fanboy in Knoxville, Tennessee several years ago. I always loved watching Leave it to Beaver. RIP Tony.
I love Leave it to Beaver! Wally was great! I started watching LITB about a year ago so never say that todays society would not like it. I think we crave family shows, LITB was like no other. Great interview :)
I'm in my early 70s and i can remember watching leave it to beaver on TV during the late 1950s. Growing up in Chicago and watching leave it to beaver our experiences are very similar. Going to neighborhood theaters, family picnics and grade school activities. I have a large collection of their series on DVD. I actually had a friend who was just like eddie Haskell.
I love how mom is always dressed to the nines, hair and makeup always picture perfect. And don't forget Mrs. Cleaver was also the lady who spoke jive in the movie Airplane.
His lines were the best part of the show and Barbara’s reactions to them are just as classic. Surprised such a good looking man spent more years off screen , behind the camera. You’re still rocking it Tony ! We watch at least 2 episodes a day.
One of my favorite episodes was when Beaver lost his hair-cut money and then tried to cut his own hair. It was a mess! Then Beaver persuaded Wally to help him clean up the haircut so that their parents wouldn't find out. Wally made the haircut even worse. So the two boys decided to wear stocking-cap hats to hide their antics and said it was a club initiation.
What a great interview with Tony! I’ve rewatched this many times! He seems like a very down-to-Earth guy who you’d like to go out to lunch with and talk to! Thank you for posting the interview!
Such a kind hearted man. I still watch it while getting ready for a stressful day at work. My older brother age 63 passed away suddenly this May, he was also a huge fan of the show and I miss him tremendously. And the passing of Tony makes me think of Dave. So in Heaven, Dave meet Tony (Wally)❤️.
Well Wally & the cast may not have been looking for laughs but like him I rarely laugh at sitcoms but I laughed the most at Wally’s comebacks. He had some of the best lines and the show showed his natural ability.
What a SUPER classy guy. Even as a young man actor. I fondly remember the camping episode. There's SO MANY of them I would call favorites. The amusement park trip. Cocky Eddie Haskell ending up terrified on that roller coaster. I think I need to find the entire series on DVD. The show ended the year after I was born but saw it repeatedly all the years afterwards. Sincerest condolences to the Dow family. Rest in Peace with Barbara, Hugh, Frank and the other guys who have gone on. I think Stanley among others. You'll be missed Tony.
I grew up watching the show on TV. Something special about those days. So many fond memories. I was born in 1945. Grew up in Southern California. Saw quite a few TV and movie actors in various spots around LA and Long Beach.
I watch two episodes of Leave It To Beaver daily. I started from the beginning and now we are in 1959 and moving along. It is so nice seeing a show I heard about but never viewed until now. I am addicted to this show now and learn something new with each episode.
What a great guy total class i had the pleasure of meeting Jerry at a Wal-mart i work at in Valencia just as nice humble God bless both of you thanks for the Memories
Thanks for posting. I remember the original series when I was a tween. I am now watching reruns on Me TV and enjoying them very much. Quality abounded in this show from the writing to the acting to the directing. Ah, nostalgia -- therapeutic in every way.
Wally reminds me so much of my oldest son and now his son. I love love love this show. Makes your heart warm for another time. Wish they had done right by the actors
Here in albuquerque...tony lives on early each morning on ME tv....forever Wally!! Be well family and thank you for the happy tv memories, not only for us your peers, but for our grand and gr-grandchildren. NM
Epitome of a Boy to Man Born in 1960 the Andy Griffith and leave it to Beaver show are my all-time favorite he will be sorely missed I am incredibly devastated to hear of his death my condolences to his family I can only imagine😭🌹 He will never be forgotten
What a great interview! So glad you were able to talk with this wonderful, down to Earth guy..we love Tony even more now. Prayers to his family and friends.
Leave it to Beaver was a lot of my older brothers growing up,in the 1950 s & 60 s,I first saw it ,in reruns,in 1977,,I was 12, I’m addicted to the show,it’s so funny,even me growing up ,in early 70 s theirs episodes that are like my days of elementary school,in the 70 s,and high school,early 80 s,it’s a show that no matter how many times you’ve seen it,,you like it,it’s so awsome,we need more shows like Beaver,it’s lifelike.
Great interview. I just started watching Leave it to Beaver this year & is great to know a little more about the people that worked & made that great show.
Going strong for 63 years. It wasn’t like other shows of it’s time. It focused on the kids and their perspective and stories were taken producers lives at home. My Three Sons was a close second.
There were a lot of lessons to be learned about life from that show. that is what I really like about it and always have. I am about 8 months younger than Jerry Mather and I remember that show very well. My kids have watched it and some of my grand kids as well. I think it was the best show of that type on TV back then and better that the trash sitcoms on TV for the past 20 years or more.
It show a how much life has changed. Started with computers and now all electronic. I am guilty of too much screen time... and they phone let’s you know.
When Tony stated ....."we're dropping like flies...." at 15:08 that gave me a strange feeling. How prophetic and true, we are all going to leave this earth eventually.
This show gets mocked a lot but it really shows what childhood is like through the eyes of little boys. It is still a favorite of kids today. It's timeless!

Saddened by the passing today of Tony Dow. He was an amazing artist in his later years. He will be missed.
Tony's a class act...thanx for being part of the best television ever seen by viewers, both then & now!

Such great childhood memories of this show. A classic. We'll miss you, Ken Osmond (Eddie Haskell).
He is a just such a nice guy. There is such a sincere affection between Tony and Jerry, the man is a class act.
Every single episode of LITB is pure magic!
Tony and Jerry are such nice guys. I still watch the show on a regular basis. It was a family I guess some of us wish we had.
For sure we all do!!
Tony Dow is Awesome !
Pretty good interviewer. Tony Dow was also a junior Olympic diving champion, and a great athlete.

Well said!!!! Definitely changed definition of good role models!
Absolute. Our grandsons love to watch the oldies
yeah right - especially the all white cast members! God forbid they would ever have black and browns in the cast.
Tony Dow should have his own show. He's cool.
Such a HUGE crush on Wally. Born in 62 I watched and LOVED the reruns.❤️ I so wanted to believe their family existed.
Their family DOES exist...we are the ones living in a fantasy(sic) world!!!
That is it in a nutshell. They were that good we believed a place like the Mayfield, and the Cleavers.
Wally and beaver are soooo cute!! I love watching this show!! It reminds me of the times when young men and children and adults still believed in good morals and principles!! I wish they would make more shows like this one in our days!!Tony still has the aura of a good and really kind person until this day!1 Such a beautiful man!!
Love the interview with Tony Dow and Jerry Mathers. Im 65 and I still love the show and I laughed here and there. In fact Im watching it now
I LOVED Wally Cleaver! I still watch "Leave it to Beaver" on MeTV every morning from 8 to 9 AM!
Wally definitely has some of the best lines.
7 to 8am around here, 2 -30min episodes.
I watch "Leave It To Beaver" every day, "on Tubi". His voice never changed.
My husband said the exact same thing! He will be missed! 😢💔👼🏼
I love “Leave it to Beaver” and all the actors and actresses. I will watch it again and again. Especially Wally and Beaver.
That’s my favorite episode too. Ward thinks the boys had an adventure in the woods the first morning but they found a town and had burgers and bought comic books. It was great that at the end Ward thought they should all head back home but the boys finally did discover some imaginative fun and begged to stay. Great episode Mr. Dow!
I say stick with the original show can't
Improve on "perfect" !!!! Just
Love that show !!
RIP, Tony. We loved you as Wally Cleaver and the roles you played after!
His passing hit me like no other celebrity's passing, I lost the brother I never had, R.I.P. Tony 💔
I think this interviewer Richard R. Lee is excellent.
I love Tony Dow!
Wally aged well...distinguished and cool as ever...great to see Tony
What a nice guy Tony is ! The stardom never went to his head. Hope Jerry and Tony have many more years of reunions.

One of my favorite episodes was when Beaver lost his hair-cut money and then tried to cut his own hair. It was a mess! Then Beaver persuaded Wally to help him clean up the haircut so that their parents wouldn't find out. Wally made the haircut even worse. So the two boys decided to wear stocking-cap hats to hide their antics and said it was a club initiation.

Wally: "I don't know....but I think I better stop."
Yes, I remenber that episode 😍
Beaver: It's ok Wally. It's just your first haircut. You'll get better as you go."
Rest in peace, Tony. He seemed like he would have been a fun guy to talk to.

That was, and still is my very favorite show on television! I'm 65 and still watch it every day. Those folks were class acts, all of them!
I met tony Dow at a Collectors show and we talked a little and I got his autograph.
What a great interview! So glad you were able to talk with this wonderful, down to Earth guy..we love Tony even more now. Prayers to his family and friends.
I will miss Tony Dow greatly! He was just a good person, it's that simple.
Tony is one of few people in Hollywood that is real down to earth people I watch the reruns all the time
Tony Dow is❤🌷😊😇 Gorgeous and Jerry Mathers
His mom was gorgeous!
I LOVE Leave it to Beaver! Rest in peace Tony Dow!!!
I love jerry also in LITB!:)
Leave it to Beaver was a lot of my older brothers growing up,in the 1950 s & 60 s,I first saw it ,in reruns,in 1977,,I was 12, I’m addicted to the show,it’s so funny,even me growing up ,in early 70 s theirs episodes that are like my days of elementary school,in the 70 s,and high school,early 80 s,it’s a show that no matter how many times you’ve seen it,,you like it,it’s so awsome,we need more shows like Beaver,it’s lifelike.
Great interview. I just started watching Leave it to Beaver this year & is great to know a little more about the people that worked & made that great show.
Going strong for 63 years. It wasn’t like other shows of it’s time. It focused on the kids and their perspective and stories were taken producers lives at home. My Three Sons was a close second.
There were a lot of lessons to be learned about life from that show. that is what I really like about it and always have. I am about 8 months younger than Jerry Mather and I remember that show very well. My kids have watched it and some of my grand kids as well. I think it was the best show of that type on TV back then and better that the trash sitcoms on TV for the past 20 years or more.
It show a how much life has changed. Started with computers and now all electronic. I am guilty of too much screen time... and they phone let’s you know.
I love Tony Dow! He still looks good to me!
Tony Dow- everybody's big brother. Rest in peace.
I've been watching the show for over twenty years. Great interview!
When Tony stated ....."we're dropping like flies...." at 15:08 that gave me a strange feeling. How prophetic and true, we are all going to leave this earth eventually.
Miss Wally aka Tony Dow. Seems like such a genuine kind of guy & very down to earth! R.I.P. Tony, you will always live in our memories in TV history!
I'm 56 years old please let Tony Dowell know that he is loved and looked up to you from my generation
Thanks for the comment. I think I thanked him in the interview for all of us. :) --Richard
Tony Dow died August 10th
aldof hister Please do your research before you comment. Tony Down is 74 and still very much alive.
This show gets mocked a lot but it really shows what childhood is like through the eyes of little boys. It is still a favorite of kids today. It's timeless!
@@whitehorseentertainment6019 thank you, my heart sank. May God bless him, he was my older brother also.
