"and a gracious good morning to you Mrs. Cleaver" ... RIP man - you were awesome.

[wally_bert]

Angel made good Rockford episodes even better.

RIP officer Osmond.

Never cared for Leave It To Beaver.

Eddie was a troublemaker, rather he created situations and then backed off, making himself look innocent.

[HeadOn]

Never thought of that... HE WAS BATMAN’S COUSIN!

[Stosh]

“I always felt that Eddie when he grew up became a US Senator”

That would be John Blutarsky. (But Eddie would qualify - no problem).

“Bill Clinton was Eddie Haskell.”
____________________________________

Funny you should say that.

Years ago, on his radio show, Rush Limbaugh frequently called Bill Clinton “Eddie Haskell.”

Rush mentioned once that Ken Osmond had contacted him.

Ken Osmond, a conservative and a Rush listener, didn’t like his TV character being compared to Bill Clinton, someone Ken Osmond had no use for.

Got to meet him a few years back at the Memphis Film Festival.

Wally: “Heck Beave ya little goof!”

[lowbridge]

It was Eddie who changed the marks on Beaver’s report card.

[mware]

Eddie was a jeck, but Beavers buddy Gilbert Bates was worse. Steven Talbot grew up to write for The Nation magazine.

[Sarah Barracuda]

different times, remember the episode where Beaver went to that all girl party and the girl’s father let him play with his guns..you would NEVER see that today on TV, EVER, the commies have taken over Hollywood you would never see episodes like that

[fieldmarshaldj]

Enjoyed his work. RIP.

[Signalman]

Yes, he was in the LAPD.
He was shot by an assailant and retired on disability.
He was a motorcycle officer.

[EnquiringMind]

How many times have I heard, and used, “Eddie Haskell” to describe someone?? Great acting. RIP.

“That’s a very nice flowing robe you’re wearing, St. Peter.”

MeTV, a retro channel plays one hour of Adam-12 every evening at 5pm eastern. I’ll be watching an hour from now

[ReluctantDragon]

RIP Ken. Your Eddie Haskell character brought many laughs over the years.

[Albion Wilde]

Loved his Eddie Haskell characterization. So memorable!

RIP, Ken Osmond. Never knew your real name until today.

[hole_n_one]

Well played!
