Just saw this. To all Boomers this is sad, another Icon from our youth gone, Read the complete article on Ken, he was a LAPD policeman and was shot 5 times while in pursuit of a criminal.

I will never forget his character of Eddie Haskell on "Leave it to Beaver", God Speed Ken and thanks for all the hours of entertainment.

Rest In Peace “Eddie Haskell”.
You will be badly missed.

“The cause of death is unknown”

Because Eddie Haskell was evil?

[vespa300]

Funniest character ever. Whoever invented the characters of that show must have been one funny guy. Real life characters and hilarious. What a great show. Nothing comes close today.

Sources tell Variety Osmond passed away at his Los Angeles home surrounded by family members.

Unknown cause? If he was at home when he passed, I give it a 99.44% chance that Kung Flu had nothing to do with it, even if he were to test positive.

Of course, LA has to keep those numbers up so Emperor Gruesome and his Aunt Nanzi can keep the state closed.

[HeadOn]

Yeah. Hate to hear that. Hard to think of Eddie as 76...

[Larry Lucido]

I hope you’re not giving us the business.

RIP

That's so sad. Another icon from my childhood gone. They are disappearing way too fast lately.

Prayers for Ken Osmond's family and friends. Rest in peace, Ken...

[Pilgrim's Progress]

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”

[yarddog]

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.

Another Haskellesque character was “Angel” on “The Rockford Files”.

[TalBlack]

Just thinking about it, there were some really great actors on that show.

Wally’s blonde girlfriend was a real hottie.

[John Milner]

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.

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