The Cleavers are the 1950s All-American Family in this feel-good family sitcom. Parents Ward and June, and older brother Wally, try to keep Theodore ( he Beaver) out of trouble. However, Beaver continues to end up in one kind of jam or another. Unlike real life, these situations are always easily resolved to the satisfaction of all involved and the Beaver gets off with a few stern moralistic words of parental advice. Instigator and troublemaker Eddie Haskell is an older kid who always manages to avoid being caught.
