The President was a crook who resigned in disgrace. The ’70s were a time of sex, drugs, scandal, the apparent failure of every American social and political institution. The most astounding thing to me then and in retrospect was how close the show came chronologically to my own birth (1965), for it seemed, like all of the ’50s seemed, to have taken place a hundred years earlier, not just a very few. I wasn’t yet born during the original run of Mathers’ great claim to fame, Leave it to Beaver (1957-1963) I began to watch it in syndicated reruns about a decade after the initial broadcasts. Jerry Mathers came into the world on June 2, 1948.
