Season 6, Episode 39
3/10
This "Scrapbook" episode is just OK but makes little sense.

I am a huge fan of Leave it to Beaver but this episode makes no sense considering they are using the "Scrapbook" way to sort of recap things. The problem is the photos in the scrapbook are taken from actual episodes but in those specific episodes NOBODY was there snapping photos! There is one photo we see of Beaver and Wally in the bathroom , are we supposed to think there was some hidden camera just snapping away?

I understand you just sort of have to "go with it" but this is just a little odd. Also there is some dialogue that just does not work. One of the photos makes Beaver ask his parents why they started to call him "Beaver". It is very hard to believe Beaver would not know this already and it's a little silly to think on the very LAST episode this is just now being addressed.

I still think Leave it to Beaver is the best show EVER about kids and Mathers and Dow are absolutely wonderful along with the entire cast but I am just not crazy about this ending episode.

Too bad the last episode wasn't moving, like Beaver visits Gus one last time or something like that.
