Beaver Gets 'Spelled' - S1-E2

Other mistake: In a hallway scene with Wally, Miss Canfield, and Mrs. Rayburn, the principal comments that "he's in the 8th grade." If that was correct, that would mean that Wally would be in high school the following year. And with 5 years to follow in the show's tenure, that would mean that Wally wouldn't be in school by the end of the show. Unless, of course, he stayed back 2 years. (00:10:10)

Beaver Gets 'Spelled' - S1-E2

Audio problem: In the early classroom scene, after Judy reads the grammar exercise, Miss Canfield calls on Whitey Whitney, who has raised his hand. When she does, she seems to say, "Harold." (00:01:20)

Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver: You know something, Wally? I'd rather do nothin' with you than somethin' with anybody else.

Captain Jack - S1-E3

Trivia: The episode "Captain Jack" was the first time a toilet was shown on TV; the boys buy a baby alligator and Wally is shown putting it in the toilet tank. The network censors were so spooked by the thought of showing a toilet on television that they delayed the episode. And when the censors finally relented, the compromise allowed only the toilet tank to be shown, not the bowl.
