The Haskel Jerks

Pensman wrote a great review of this episode. I only wanted to gripe about the way the writers chose to have Mr. and Mrs. Haskel view Wally and Beaver in dire trouble on the train, only to ignore and laugh at them. No wonder Eddie is such a jerk - he learned from the best. Then, on top of it all, Mr. Haskel later laughs in Mr. Cleaver's face about how his boys were in trouble. Why didn't Mr. Cleaver ask Haskel, pointedly, "WHY didn't you help my sons?" I'll be da**ed if I ever help Eddie in the future. Now, please, GET LOST." It would have been just as good an episode if the boys had received help - and much more realistic.
