Lumpy grew older but never matured.
In fact as he gets older he's looking more like his tv dad.

Prayers for Ken Osmond's family and friends. Rest in peace, Ken...
Ken Osmond may be gone, but Eddie Haskell is alive and well, and still picking on the Beaver.
When I was a kid, I would hear about people from ethnic backgrounds changing their last names to sound more Americanized..Like Tony Bennett (Benedetto) or Danny Kaye (Kaminsky)..... It always made me think of Leave it to Beaver, which seemed like the all American WASP ideal....60 years later, this kind of old fashioned, disciplined, “normative” nuclear family is viewed as the root of all evil in the world by the “progressives”
He created one of the all time great characters.
Everybody saw through him. Eddie was a real rat but deep down he was actually OK. They did have a couple of episodes where Beaver realizes his ratness was not always the real Eddie.
Lumpy grew older but never matured.
In fact as he gets older he's looking more like his tv dad.
Wally would always say, “Common Eddie” great character to last all these years. RIP

Eddie haskell was the ultimate bean shooter
Another Haskellesque character was “Angel” on “The Rockford Files”.
RIP
poor Larry Mondello never caught on that his mother was Aunt Harriet
Every parent dreams of Wally Cleaver....most get closer to Eddie Haskel!!!
LOL took me a sec to realize that is not the real Lumpy LOL..the real Lumpy(Frank Bank) died in 2013..geez the only surviving cast members now are Beaver, Wally, and Larry Mondello
I remember when he called Rush one day...RIP, “Eddie”...
Bill Clinton was Eddie Haskell.

Just thinking about it, there were some really great actors on that show.
Wally’s blonde girlfriend was a real hottie.
Conservative guy, decent man
Seen him in later years.....seemed like a really nice guy but boy, I wanted to wring his skinny neck on LITB.....but that’s good acting for ya.....RIP Ken......
Even though the show is blasted by most I still find it highly entertaining.
But one of the reasons is that I find teen depictions from that era fascinating. And that was one show that at least made an attempt to show teen interactions - at least the later episodes.
Wally, Lumpy and Eddie. Love any episode with all 3.
The real piece of work was Lumpy’s dad, Fred Rutherford. What a wonderful show, it breaks your heart to watch it now if you’re old enough to remember those days.
