One of the most popular series in TV history, Leave It to Beaver (1957-1963) stood out from the flock during TV's golden age. While most of it's contemporaries (i.e. The Donna Reed Show and the Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet) were star-driven vehicles in which the kids were merely supporting players, Beaver's action centered on the children; seven year Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver and his 12-year-old brother Wally. Though the show went off the air in the '60s, it continues to charm new generations even today.
