	Ward and June Cleaver
		After all, the Cleaver family, in all its straight-laced purity, could not accurately describe the typical American family, even in the times in which the TV show was produced.
		Ward thought it was his and June’s responsibility to raise the children, and he completely ignored the contributions the village could make to disciplining those brats.
		Cleaver had been allowed choice as opposed to the societal coercion she endured, she would have chosen a much more satisfying career.

	"Leave Beaver Be"
		The Cleaver family, Ward and June, the mom and dad; Wally the older brother; and the featured character, Theodore--not known by that name...not known as you'd expect as "Teddy”, but called "Beaver," was one of the television staples in the late 50s sliding into the early 60s.
		Ward Cleaver was the mild-mannered father, businessman who always dressed well, was the go-to person, the disciplinarian--firm, but fair-- who remembered what it was to be a boy and wanted to make sure his two boys did the right thing, gently telling them what the right thing to do was.
		Ward was like all TV dads were portrayed then, like Jim Anderson in "Father Knows Best," but even though real dads weren't always so gentle and mild-mannered, many did wear suits to work as some still do, although fewer.

	Electron Sea: Aquatic Symbolism and Roman Mythological References in "Leave it to Beaver": An Evolutionary Analog (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The family's surname is "Cleaver." A "cleaver" is a "heavy, broad-bladed knife or hatchet" that is used to "split or separate." As an intransitive verb, the word "cleave" is defined as "to penetrate or pass through something, such as water or air."
		The combination of these definitions fits Ward Cleaver's, the patriarch of the family, role: He is there to protect his sons and to help them separate good from bad behavior and to instill a sense of morality in them.
		He seems to always encourage both of the Cleaver boys to engage in activities that are contrary to the teachings of their father, Ward.

	Interesting Ideas: Leave it to Beaver Lies
		The problem wasn't, as some critics have objected, that the Cleavers and their all-white hometown were too male, middle class and comfortably heterosexual to represent a legitimate idealization.
		But nostalgia buffs should look a little more closely before embracing the Cleavers as the ideal family they never had (and can't hope to duplicate) because, when you penetrate the idyllic surface, it's hard to imagine anyone really wanting to be like Ward, June and the boys.
		Cleaver struggled to maintain a facade of middle-class civility, nervously intervening to cool her husband's anger or to interdict some especially lunatic expectation aimed at her sons, especially the behaviorially challenged Beaver.

		So the next day the Cleavers got rid of their air-conditioner, and while the Beaver required cold compresses and intensive medication, one and all not only got through the summer, but even put one over on the Haskells.

		What really sold the series was the warm, realistic rapport between the Cleaver kids and their parents, and the authentic-sounding dialogue, full of the slang and idioms common to youngsters of the Eisenhower era.
		The boys and their parents, Ward (Hugh Beaumont) and June (Barbara Billingsley), are living in a different house than in later episodes, principally because the show was being filmed at the old Republic movie studios, and wouldn't move to its more familiar Universal stamping grounds until the 1958-1959 season.
		Cleaver and abrasive and bullying to Beaver, makes his first appearance in the episode "New Neighbors" (a later installment, "Voodoo Magic," affords viewers the rare privilege of seeing Eddie's parents, played by Karl Swenson and Ann Doran).

		Premiering in the fall of 1957 and focusing on the adventures of seven-year-old Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver and his 12-year-old brother, Wally, Leave It to Beaver was remarkably fresh for its time.
		While its tone reflected the innocence of the era, the series had a realistic edge thanks to the show's creators, Joe Connely and Bob Mosher, who based most of the young characters on their own kids and other children they knew.
		At the show's core is the theme of growing up, and while most of us don't have model parents like Ward and June Cleaver or Gus the Fireman to dispense advice, we can identify with many of the Cleaver kids' predicaments.
