  The fact Jerry Mathers, a rich famous kid that was set for life, made it a priority to serve in the United States military makes me have a huge amount of respect for him.

  It was on when I was a kid, and I grew up in an alcoholic household, the show really gave me hope things can be better.

  Although it is often viewed as simply a light, airy comedy, it occasionally addressed very serious social issues. &nbsp;For example, I remember a show which addressed ALCOHOLISM. &nbsp; A handyman, who Beaver adored, got drunk on the job and Beaver&apos;s parents explained to Beaver what alcoholism was. &nbsp; The show did not disparage alcoholics. &nbsp;Rather, it conveyed the message that they needed help.

  Jerry Mathers and Tony Dow were cast well. They had interaction like brothers and cared about their brothers too.
