Leave It to Beaver
60Watch it awake.
Gentle to a fault. The fault is not the family. The fault is pretending no trouble is large.
The review
Beaver tells the truth by the end of the episode, and his father does not humiliate him for the delay. That structure is sound. The world around it has been cleaned until a child might think every problem is a broken window. Use it for the structure. Supply the larger world yourself, later, without sneering at the house that could confess a small thing.
Journal
Keep Leave It to Beaver in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 60. Yours can differ.
The glance
Piety and Courage are the thin ones.
Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
The Chosen
73 instead of 60
The Chosen is still a series show, and it scores 73 instead of 60. What you gain is piety: The subject is worship, and the show is not embarrassed.
The eight
- 6Industry
Ward works. The boys have chores and school. June runs the house as a post.
- 8Household
A mother and a father, present, on the same side.
- 4Piety
Decency is assumed. God is barely required because the world is already orderly.
- 4Courage
The courage is confessing. That is the right size for the age.
- 5Republic
A neighborhood of families. Thin, and still a neighborhood.
- 8Temperance
Nothing in it is an appetite.
- 6Truth
The lessons are plain. They are also sometimes too easy.
- 7Stewardship
Made for a child to grow past, not to be harmed by.
