  • Following in the footsteps of his Leave it to Beaver co-stars Hugh Beaumont, Tony Dow, and Ken Osmond, Jerry Mathers had one of the primary roles on Lassie at age 20 on Dec. 15, 1968. In the episode called Lassie and the 4-H Boys, Mathers gets into a fight with his 4-H brother over a bull they plan to enter in a contest until one of them decides he would rather keep it as a pet.
    I edited this video to show the eight-minutes of moments with Mathers.

    Beaver fighting with his brother what he never did with Wally. He wouldn't have tried because Wally was much bigger and older. But here in the end him & his brother settled their differences. Jerry Mathers was always a great actor. When he would make appearances on talk shows. What he would say to his fans, "I'm still the Beaver." Jerry Mathers is a fine individual.

      I watch from the very first broadcast, my brother and I never had a family so we kind of adopted beaver and his family. We never missed an episode, and, I still watch Leave it to Beaver every single day, very rare do I miss a rebroadcast. I've seen each episode several dozen times I'm sure. But again I never had a family and I adopted them as my make-believe family and that's how I learned how to treat people, be kind courteous and inquisitive. He is the only surviving member from Leave it to Beaver. I still see the kid in him when he's on TV. I see him on UA-cam occasionally as well. Always perfect gentleman, well-mannered and a good sense of humor. Today is June 27th 2023

      It's sad that Beaver turned out to be a Wild Drunk like he did. I know that Ward died of a heart attack soon after Beaver was Arrested. June ended up shacking up with Fred Rutherford and Mrs Rayburn. In a way it lucky that Dennis the Menace was killed in Vietnam and didn't have to witness this embarrassing event.

      Jerry Mathers was born June 2, 1948 (just had his 71st birthday), so he had turned 15 by the time the show ended June 20, 1963. Perhaps you are thinking about the age of the character of Beaver when show ended.

    I stooped watching LASSIE by this time. While I never saw this episode, I am reminded of why I lost interest. Episodes like this were contrived for 1968 standards. And the situation written for these "juveniles" where were older than the parts they were cast in is awkward and difficult to watch. It is a curiosity seeing Jerry Mathers post LEAVE IT TO BEAVER get through this, however.
