John Whedon wrote this goofy episode, a popular writer who did work for DICK VAN DYKE, ANDY GRIFFITH and DONNA REED. What a resume!
If this story were set in the 70s, it probably would have been re-titled "Beaver's Bummer Day," because it truly is a sad state of affairs for the Beave. This is also one of the classic episodes where both Larry Mondello and Eddie Haskell BOTH contribute to Beaver's downfall, and in one easy lesson!
You have to admit, Jerry Mathers is one cute kid, and you can well see why he got cast as Beaver Cleaver. He was a natural.
I agree with the last reviewer, the story is not original, but it's still one to watch, and again, something all of us kids back in the day could relate to. Don't got outside and play in your good clothes--because something will happen! It sure does. Beave wears his Sunday suit, starts messing around with Larry at a construction site and comes home looking not too good. OMG.
The Murphys Law of new or expensive clothes.
Had Beave been wearing some old duds, he probably wouldn't have gotten as much as a bit of
dust on them! Sad but true.
See to believe, from SEASON 1 remastered Universal dvd box set.
