1957: Pilot episode 1957-1963: Actual series (six network seasons) 1985: Reunion movie 1986-1989: All-new cable series (three cable seasons) "Beaver" began as a regular series in 1957 on ABC (after a rarely seen pilot episode entitled "It's a Small World" -- with a different Ward and different Wally -- was aired as an episode of an anthology series called "Studio '57") In the '59-'60 season (the show's third) Beav moved to CBS. "Leave it to Beaver" ran until 1963, a total of 234 episodes. It's been in reruns ever since. Around 1985 CBS ran a made-for-TV movie entitled "Still the Beaver" reuniting many of the original cast members. (Ward had since passed away and his death was written into the movie.) The success of the movie spawned a second TV series called "The New Leave it to Beaver" which ran on Disney's cable channel from 1986 to 1989, featuring the original Beaver, Wally, June, Eddie and Lumpy from the 1957-1963 series. And of course the ill-fated "Cleaver Family Good Time Golden Hour" of the mid-seventies which featured the cast members as hosts of a musical variety show which... I totally just now made up. That never happened. Sorry.
