LEAVE IT TO BEAVER: FAMILY SCRAPBOOK {SERIES FINALE} (TV)

Summary

The final episode of this comedy series about the Cleaver family -- Ward and June and their two sons, Wally and Theodore, known as "the Beaver." In this episode, June finds an old family scrapbook and gathers the family around to reminisce about Wally and the Beaver growing up. Excerpts from old episodes are shown as the Cleavers recall how Beaver got into one predicament after another, including bringing a note home from school and fearing he might be expelled from the first grade; asking Ward for advice after a married neighbor kissed him; and running away from home because he felt he was treated unfairly. Includes commercials.
