Leave It to Beaver is an American television situation comedy that ran from 1957 to 1963. The show was built around young Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver (played by Jerry Mathers, whose character was given the nickname as a baby when his older brother mispronounced "Theodore" as "Tweedor" and their parents felt "Beaver" was better), and his awkward-but-earnest attempts to navigate older brother Wally's (Tony Dow) pre-teen and teenage growing pains, while heeding his gently-firm-but-loving parents, Ward (Hugh Beaumont) and June Cleaver (Barbara Billingsley).
