As always, I enjoyed "brain hopping" with you. I loved Leave it to Beaver. It never occurred to me that it was weird to see the dad in a suit & the mom in dress, high heels, & pearls. Quite a contrast to my family. Daddy came to the table in dirty work clothes (because supper was not the end of his work day). Mother wore a work dress & apron, and shoes that could run out to head off cows that escaped their fence, if necessary. We kids wore jeans & work shirts after school, but my brother wore starched jeans (with a crease that Mother or I ironed in there) & a nice starched shirt. My sister & I wore dresses, no matter how cold or how hot it was. "Beaver" was a nice diversion from our daily, as was Lucy and Bonanza.

Yes, three legendary shows! I was also a Have Gun, Will Travel fan
Aww, I liked Charles Osgood! Love reading your Whimsical Wanderings.
And from the way your subject jumps sometimes, I'm beginning to think you're ADHD...like me. ;-)
Just following the ol' mind wherever it leads!
