Yep, that is strange, it was announced by his wife but it was all a mistake, even Jerry Mathers left a note about his passing on Facebook. It came over the wire that he passed- he has some sort of advanced cancer but no one will say exactly what kind it is. |

Liver cancer I could not find any reports of the cancer he had- so it was liver cancer that's pretty bad. |

Now the word is over the wire that Tony Dow is really, really sincerely dead. Most everyone from that show is dead, It was sad to learn that Miss Landers the school teacher on the "Leave It To Beaver" show played by the lovely Miss Sue Randall died way back in 1984 from lung carcinoma, at the age of 49, turns out she was a very heavy puffer, smoked a few packs a day. She played in a early episode of "Gunsmoke" at one time.

The show was classic quintessential aesthetics about life in the mid-20th century, the typical life of a suburban family coming of age."Dennis The Menace" was another classical show about mid-century American life.

Here's something interesting, both Wally (Tony Dow) and Eddie Haskel (Ken Osmond) died at the same age of 77. Ken Osmond was born in 1943 and died in 2020 Tony Dow was born in 1945 and died in 2022. Both were 77 at the time of their deaths."Beaver" looks darn old for his age of 74 (Jerry Mathers). He could pass for 80. The mother June Cleaver (played by Barbara Billingsley) lived to the ripe old age of 95 - the dad, Ward (played by Hugh Beaumont) died in 1982 at the age of 73.
Barbara Billingsley was often called "America's Mom" the classic Mom of the mid-century. Apple Pie, Chevy and the American flag. Everyone's mom.

Most of us were probably toddlers. Plus, the show is played on retro channels for decades now. So, you don't have to be "old" tp be familiar with these shows. |

They would be on when I got home from school. I didn't see them first run. The shows I grew up with first run were shows like The Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, Odd Couple, MASH, All In The Family, Bob Newhart, Mary Tyler Moore, Carol Burnette and of course the weekly made for TV movies. |
