I thought I'd give it a try as an adult. Now that I've seen it again I'm sorry to report that this show is really poorly written. I enjoy a lot of old shows and more specifically old radio shows. So I'm not just someone comparing older shows to what's done recently. That being said I found myself wondering "have these writers ever even heard a joke before? Much less written one." If it weren't for the insane amount of canned laughter I might not have even realized that these things that were said were supposed to be jokes. The episode where the father goes to town to purchase a car for his daughter is particularly confounding. One has to wonder if a script was even written or if they were thinking "we'll just speed up the camera and have someone fall down a lot". I watch it gawking at the screen trying to comprehend how the people that were involved in a delightful show "leave it to beaver" spawned this misguided "comedy".
