A question for every year
In honor of the 64th Anniversary of the Leave it to Beaver show’s debut on CBS, we have created a massive, an ultimate, a death defying Leave it to Beaver quiz for you. This one is quite difficult and if you score 50%, consider that an “A” for this quiz. I’d love to know what Jerry Mathers and Tony Dow would score on this quiz, wouldn’t you? Maybe someone out there can convince them to give this one a try!
What did Jerry think about the World Famous Beaverpedia?
“I had a chance to ask Theresa and Jerry how they liked the book and they said they REALLY ENJOYED IT!” – Alyssa (a Leave it to Beaver Fan Club member) who met Jerry at the Orlando Fan Boy Convention in 2023
