Trivia
A popular rumor that surfaced about the show years later is that notorious rock legend Alice Cooper, in his younger years, portrayed Eddie Haskell on the show. This stems from a misinterpretation of an interview that Cooper had, in which he said that he was Eddie Haskell as a kid. He, of course, meant that he was similar in behavior and attitude to Haskell, Not that he portrayed him on the show.

Q
On what network[s] did Leave It To Beaver air?
A
In its first season, CBS. It moved to ABC for its second season and remained there for the rest of the series.
Q
Why does everyone call Theodore Cleaver "the Beaver"?
A
It isn't explained until the final episode of the series. He is called this because when Beaver was a baby and Wally was also very young, Wally could not pronounce "Theodore" correctly, and it came out sounded like "Beaver." So the nickname stuck.
