After the conclusion of "Leave It to Beaver" in 1963, Mathers was just 14 years old and ready to start high school. Unlike many child actors who struggle to adjust to life after a series or movie wraps, Mathers had a different experience. He sought a sense of normalcy and participated in activities that allowed him to fit in with his peers. Joining his high school football team was one of the first things he did, playing center and linebacker. This experience helped him transition from the TV world, fostering camaraderie and friendships.
However, Mathers' football career was short-lived, and he eventually enlisted in the Air Force, serving for six years. After leaving the service, he pursued his passion for education and attended the University of California at Berkeley, majoring in philosophy. During this time, he ventured into the world of investments and real estate, expanding his skill set and gaining valuable experience.
Despite his retirement from acting, he found happiness in leading a normal life while still being connected to the world of entertainment.
Jerry Mathers' retirement from acting following the conclusion of "Leave It to Beaver" was driven by his yearning for a normal life, the support of his family, and the shared desire of the cast and crew to pursue new paths. As the last surviving cast member, Mathers holds a unique position, cherishing the memories and legacy of the show that touched the hearts of millions of viewers.

One of the greatest shows ever made. I'm 60 but showed it to my kids who also loved it. My grandkids are next. I thank all the people involved in the show for a special gift of life that is sorely missed now. Life was not perfect then but there are so many American values shown with an amazing and strong mother and father. Carry on as ambassador Jerry Mathers. You gave a gift to the world.

Leave it to Beaver was about childhood memories. Simple things that touched all of us. Every time Beaver or Wally made a mistake it was a part of growing up and learning how to become responsible adults. Whenever I feel lost in this wold of madness I watch these episodes to remind me of the time when America really was great.

You will NEVER see new TV shows with these kind of values every again. The problem is society is not like it was in the 50's and early 60's. TV reflects the society at the time it is made. American society is at an all time low and that is one of the main reasons why Current TV is so unwatchable.
Never missed this show as a child. Being the same age as Beaver made every episode seem real. I dreamed of living in such a beautiful home with a bathroom off my bedroom and a father who reasoned instead of hitting. I still enjoy watching reruns. Thanks for sharing this video.

In fact, today I watched one of my favorite episodes, where Beaver gets stuck in a big soup bowl on an advertising billboard. It was funny then, and it still is.
Let's please (also recall) the wonderful Burt Mustin, who played "Gus," the Fire-fighter, on the Beaver show. A wonderful character actor who passed on in 1977, at close to 93.

I was 12 years old in 1957, when “Leave it to Beaver,” began. I watched it fairly regularly in the earlier years, but by 1962, I was in high School and working a part time job most evenings. But I liked the show, because it did reflect good family values and morals, things which later disappeared from TV and the movies. America changed, becoming more jaded, coarse, and vulgar, reflecting the kinds of values that children should not be exposed to.I am glad Jerry Mathers has had a more normal life than many celebrities who were destroyed by Hollywood morals, drugs, and vain self idolatry. Wish other stars had made the decisions he made, leaving the Hollywood scene. It was a blessing that he had a strong family foundation and good role models to guide him along his life journey. I do not know about his spirituality, but I hope he has faith, and follows Jesus as a Christian.
Leave it to Beaver is my favorite show from my childhood!
I've seen every episode many times. Beaver and Wally just like Lumpy and Eddie were done after the show went off. They were as typecast as they come. I did see Tony in a beach movie and he couldn't shake the Wally in him. Jerry was on a My Three Sons as an adult with wife. He grew a mustache but ....he was still the Beaver. Most folks don't realize that when boys turned 18 in that era, they had to by law register for the draft with a very good chance of being drafted and sent to Vietnam. Beaver and older brother MIke on My Three Sons were like a lot of male actors of that time, enlisting in the Air Force Guard to prevent the Army and Vietnam. Considine even wore his uniform on MTS in an attempt to prove patriotism.

I loved Bert Mustin …a great character actor who I understand didn’t even start acting until he was in his 60’s or 70’s. I loved Leave It To Beaver but it was that cute older brother Wally that I had a crush on…..he came right after my all time favorite, Eric Hillard Nelson, better know as the talented Ricky Nelson whom I named my oldest son after. We live probably 125 miles away from DeKalb where his plane went down…such a horribly sad day for his sweet mother. I am sure she never got over that…and I understand exactly how she felt now because I lost my own Ricky 4 years ago…he was a CPA and owned his own accounting firm. I miss his so much. I hope my two favorite Rick’s got to meet in heaven. I love you, Sugar…..you wait for me. I do not understand why we cannot have shows like Leave It To Beaver, I Love Lucy, The Roy Rogers Show, Sky King, My Friend Flicka, Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, and Gilligan’s Island on today. We watch Gunsmoke, Bonanza and shows like That Girl and Bewitched every day. With TV shows like that at least you don’t have to worry about your children or grandchildren picking up off color words right and left. Why, I never even heard the “F” word until I was in high school and I graduated in 1965. The more children hear 4-letter words, the more they think it is acceptable to say them. Just read the news about how children treat other children…some anyway…and ask yourself if you really think that prices going up SO much in the last 45 years that both parents HAVING to go to work just to have anything in the world today is worth more and more kids not having their mothers at home, so many children being bullied so much that 10 to 12 year olds commit suicide, that even some children murder their grandparents, parents or brothers and sisters? No, I don’t think so. I won’t be around in a few more years but I worry about my 21 grandchildren and our precious new great-granddaughter. With a president who advocates minors having their genitals cut off, being given hormone blockers so they won’t even know what being a real boy or a real girl is like?….and who insists that his son Beau died in Iraq rather than where the man died with a cancerous brain tumor, in a hospital in Bethesda, MD. And is so old he can’t even do the job he was elected to do just a couple of years ago…pathetic…can’t even walk across a stage or up a flight of stairs without falling down…or remember where he is or why? We NEED shows like Leave It To Beaver with Jerry Mathers playing a kind, caring, level headed grandfather to show children that not everyone in this country is going to murder their wives and bury their bodies in the woods, shoot their wife and younger son even if they come from a famous family of attorneys in South Carolina, or murder their children because they don’t want to pay child support or help send their kids to college. This world has gone stark raving crazy and God knows we need something on TV to help kids know that not everyone out there has gone completely around the bend. You go, Jerry….the Hollywood executives are not very bright if they don’t hire you to make the kind of grown up Leave It to Beaver that you want to make. Thank you to everyone involved with your show to help raise at least one generation of good kids.

@@nancycurtis488 I agree with everything you say. I'm 70 and there are only a few women that makes my heart pound from the old days. If I had to live my life over it would be Grace Kelly from the 50's. Especially the way she looked in the movie "High Noon". There are only two others that have stayed on my mind in the last 20 years. Kristen Bell & Olivia Wilde. Ironically, 2 of those three women ended up becoming real princesses. But Olivia missed acting and got divorced. There went her crown. I detest the sows on the view. I've listened a total of 3 minutes at most combined all these years. Much of the problem nowadays are because of broken families and homes without a dad. I was a part of my sons life as much as I could. Thankfully he doesn't do drugs. I do not care to reveal his college. But it is well known and he graduated at the top of his class in the engineering department. His department head recommended 4 schools to attend for an advanced degree. MIT, Carnegie-Mellon, Stanford, & Cal Tech. MIT wanted him to sign a contract for 5 1/2 - 6 years all expenses paid with stipend to do research. But he wanted to specialize in AI. He ended up going to Johns-Hopkins for his advanced degree. Now if he'll only go back with his gf and get married. We want grandchildren!

Here's a pitch I have been working on for a reboot. Beaver is back as a grandfather taking care of his only daughter and her two pre-teen girls. The story line runs with the girls getting into similar problems the Beaver did but obviously with a modern application. As the father figure in the family the Beaver attempts to apply the advice his father gave him. Insert clips from the original show with Ward being the ideal father Beaver remembers. The humor arises in the absolute fails Ward's advice, through Beaver's interpretation, applied to little girls in 2023. It has been writing itself.
Although there were some child stars that are not cast members, two I'm sure were in the old series Richard Corral and Jeri Wail and Rusty Stevens and still alive.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to remake and start Leave it to Beaver again with a new cast. The show having wholesome Ideals to lead us into the future teaching integrity and good family values. Not accepting the negative world views of today. Thank you for sharing this clip.
That was a great show!!

Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?

Did you know the role of Beaver was originally supposed to be a girl? And when he auditioned, he complained he wanted to go to the boy's scout. Which is why he got the part. He truly was being a kid at his audition.

I'm guessing that, if they had cast a girl, her nickname would have been VERY different.

I got his autograph at the Beverly Hilton when he was 19. He seemed very shy and awkward and was surrounded by teen girls asking him if he remembered certain episodes. I think it embarrassed him.

Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! Which episode of Leave it to Beaver appealed to you the most?
Larry Mondello was great, always was chomping on an apple, and had great stories about his sister and oft-absent (never shown) salesman dad. Batman's Aunt Harriet played his frazzled mom. In one episode he told Beaver a teacher has a new spanking machine. Top cast but the real stars were the unseen writers who could see both Ward's homespun philosophies and the kids crazy thoughts and antics.
We have ALL !!! 6 seasons on DVD!!! 👀❤ - 6/16/23 🤠 Canada

Down to earth and wholesome show still watch the reruns today solid cast they really did seem like a regular family
hope there is a comeback w Jerry.
It was a good show and decent one.
Did not discover the show until years after it was off the air; but feel like somehow I live down the street!!😂
Watching it as I'm commenting on clip. Great show
It's really great to find out that Jerry Mathers had the support that he needed growing up as a child star from his parents. That was sorely missing in other child actors lives that led to some of their lives being destroyed in one way or another.
It was one of the all time great TV shows. What do we have today that compares?
I’m a super fan of the show! I just started watching it again now I’m older. I never realized how funny it was . I love the value and cleanliness of the show. I think Jerry made a wise decision even though I would have loved to have seen more of it! I love his values in life! Very rare these days! I believe his tv parents as well as his biological parents had a great input in his good values! Just love him and the show!
What An Awesome Show It Was. So Jerry Mathers is Still The Bev. Huh!!!!
I once heard Jerry Mathers say that the show was psychologically dangerous in that it portrayed a fantastically perfect parenthood that was totally unrealistic. Too many children who watched the show regularly felt sorry for themselves because their parents were nowhere near as perfect as Ward and June Cleaver. Born in 1952, I know I was one of those kids. It took me years to appreciate my parents as they really were and realize that the show was an impossible fantasy. No parents were like that. If they did exist, they were freaks.
04:51. Facts verse screwed up again. Picture is tony Dow not Jerry’s mathers
Great show......!
Good for him for staying grounded.
I know I'm probably going to get shamed, but I never watched Leave It To Beaver. Still, I found this very interesting. It is neat to see what they grew up wanting to do. Thank you friend 😊
Those were the good old days I still watch leave it to beaver today it was a great sitcom I loved beaver he always got into trouble with his friends and he and Tony's relationship as brother's on the show was wonderful and Barbra Billingsley(June clever) and Hugh Beaumont(ward clever) was a great pair i still love leave it to beaver classic sitcom and eddie haskel funny guy and larry mondello beaver's best friend really cool guy always eating a apple😂 and everything else 😂 those 2 were always getting in trouble I love this sitcom I still watch it
It was fun to see the episode of the love boat
Always kept it clean & loved Wally& beaver
I met him in the early 90’s at Oxford fest in Alabama. He spent a couple of minutes talking to me and he was a really nice guy. I would like to sit and talk to him again.

The serviceman at 4:30 is not Jerry Mathers, and what's the deal with Sean Hannity in the grab-shot for the clip ?
