LEAVE IT TO BEAVER (the rejected pilot)

Back before YouTube, there was PUBLIC ACCESS.

Here is an unused comedy piece from 1988 intended for an unfinished episode of a comedy show called LEAST OBJECTIONABLE PROGRAM. Edited together from an improvised dubbing session, this rough cut has HUGH BEAUMONT before he was WARD CLEAVER. Also JUNE LOCKHART before she was Timmy's mother on LASSIE. If you don't know the names, you're not up on TV trivia. - Still funny though.

-- Hey, it kept us off the streets.

BURY ME DEAD, 1947

Oh! The reason I ask is because June Lockhart is my grandmother. Thanks!

[penciltest2]

Thanks for asking. I - like many(you've heard this before) grew up watching your grandmother. It was always a pleasure to see her. I also enjoy watching your great grandfather, GENE. He's always a joy to watch in everything he did. -- You obviously have the REGINALD OWEN CHRISTMAS CAROL where they both appear? Did they do anything else together?

Thanks again for commenting.

He was gonna kill her because she wouldn't give up The Beaver.

@davidqtn "for to be stupid?" Tenk u veddy much, latka.

Are you kidding!!! I love the voices! Guys doing women's voices always crack me up! But yeah, maybe using blended-in clips from the show could work. LITB is always ripe for parody.

[Asphinxo]

The idea has good possibilities. Lose the voices and do a good edit of this movie with Leave it to Beaver scenes.

I've killed a few beavers in my time.

No, Anne is my aunt. My grandmother had two daughters. Annie is the eldest.

Is Anne Lockhart your mother? I frequent the conventions and have met many of their actors. Good to see your post.
