SCTV Leave it to Beaver 25th Anniversary Party 

I swear I was thinking the same thing...except now, he'd have been out for 6 years.

Hahaha

Time off for good behaviour.

More with good behavior. But this skit was prophetic. Not to long after, they did a "Leave it to Beaver reunion special" for years. And it was just about as sad as this. And Beaver was just as overweight. Later,, The Disney Channeled picked up a new LITB sit come, but they seemed to intentionally be writing Beaver out of the scripts.

You're scaring me

Absolutely

You can say that again.

Not Martin short obviously

IDK... Maybe the 1st cast of Mad TV???.. just saying

It would be really fun since now he's just going to be a skeleton

@@williamschlemmer5282 a real shitty take dude!!

Indeed. A good Canadian guy.

Absolutely a True gentleman…

Or in church.

He was one of the original cast members of SCTV. So, is in several skits in the first couple of seasons.

You’re welcome

​@@michaeljordan6008 thee Michael Jordan????😮

He so nailed the facial expressions! Sorry I never met the guy.

Jack, "...John Candy you've never seen before!" Not only that but 300 lbs lighter...Oh shit, is it still too soon for John Candy Fat jokes?

I saw this on TV in the 70s. I remember this episode.

@@tedmccarron yes, it was memorable

His Orson Welles was the best.

Add in Phil Hartman ,. Yeah these Comedy legends were truly enjoyable and dammit we all miss them….

What are ppl ? - JOHN BELUSHI HATERS 👊 !!?!! (😡)

The world needs no cocaine, we would still have these guys.

@@tiedyehobo yeah but then opiates and mental illness would still exists so

As the years have gone by I think John Belushi was over rated.

They were, but have you ever watched an episode of Shitts Creek, it's horrible...maybe the younger generation gets it but I don't.

@@tanyapeavoy5885 Yeah, you don’t, and it’s not a generation thing. My septuagenarian mom loves it...

“Just me and the Moron Twins... “ - (Actor) in (Movie)

I also don’t think the Millennials and Zoomers have much pull, with The Emmy’s, of which Schitt’s Creek won NINE(!) of those awards, including Outstanding Comedy, Best Actor, Best Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Outstanding Comedy Screenwriting, and Outstanding Comedy Director. I’m not being a smartass. I’m just helping you rule out age, as a determining factor for why you don’t like it. Also, Eugene played his usual character, and Catherine O’Hara did, too. So, it’s not them, either. Chris Elliot, maybe? ...

@@tanyapeavoy5885 it is horrible i thought it was just me.

"I get confused... for a while there I even thought you were killed in Viet Nam, Beaver"

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Absolutely 💯

June and Ward too.

@Jim McCracken Dave Thomas from the Wendy's commercials is dead NOT Dave Thomas from this and Grace Under Fire. He is still alive.

Wow, I never knew they were both worked together. RIP to both of them.

What? Harold Ramis is dead too?

@@jamiee172 since 2014, yes, sadly.

Was that a recurring gag on SCTV? I seem to remember even Bill Murray said that at one point.

Catzilla, there were a lot of rumors about former child stars being killed in Vietnam. I remember a skit from “SNL” hosted by Ron Howard. In the skit, Opie comes home to Mayberry to find the town overrun with corruption and crime. Barney tells Opie that he thought Opie was killed in ‘Nam. “That was The Beaver.”!Opie replies.

Shelley Winters said that on the Tonight show.

@@mrb4886 Yes, I remember watching that. I never looked to see if it was his younger brother Larry Mathers in the Disney movie Summer Magic 1963.

"not me dad" lol

Zeppolino100 He really did

@shadow-ban buster "No dad, you're confusing me with Eddie Haskell"

@zeppolino100 agree completely. In fact, this is whole new side of John Candy I didn’t think existed.

EVERYONE nailed it. But Candy got it so right.

Right? He was perfect as The Beav!

Lorenzo Fasitta yes he was !!

Its kind of a coincidence that you mentioned the Canadian flag. Remember John Candy in Operation Canadian Bacon?

@Jackie Daytona well he was a big guy.. took more

@Jackie Daytona Cocaine is addictive? :)

Ramis was a legend. This was a skit of incredible humor.

"That Eddie Haskell, he really makes me mad." "Well, why don't you kill him?"

I live and drive here in nyc.. Everytime I drive through TriBeCa, a tear comes out when I drive by the ghostbusters firehouse....rip Harold Ramis

I submit that Gilbert Bates was the one who was more likely to get Beaver into that much trouble.

Peter Baum OH GAHD! I was trying to figure out if that was Harold. So young and without his glasses. Then again, he directed Caddy Shack in 1980

Hello Jenny, how are you doing?

Isn't he gorgeous? 😍

Ahhh, he was just givin everyone the business.

I like how the scene ends on Beaver saying "Life stinks."

hahahaha Glad I'm not the only one who thought this!!

@Rick C. Thanks for that. All of those other cartoon voices she did during her career! Amazing! The original Cindy Lou Who, Betty Rubble in the Flintstone's pilot, many of the familiar Looney Toon witches, etc.

Exactly, I was wondering why she sounded like that

Hey, Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!!

That’s pretty good! You’re right!

You are absolutely right, this is my favorite and the more you watch the funnier it gets, I didn't notice the Beavers huge lunch his mom was packing until I watched it the 3rd time, gut splitting for sure, and the acting is extraordinary 😉

Wasn't there a joke on The Simpsons where Homer gets a call from a bill collector and he says that he's Tony Plow from Leave It to Beaver, then adds "Yeah, they were gay" and we never knew who "they" were because the Simpsons legal team said not to mention anyone specific who was in the cast of LITB?

@@canaisyoung3601 Haha, holy crap. I never made out that connection. Nice

You got to see a lot of stuff from earlier years as they realized how difficult it was to fill 90 minutes. And at the time it didn't matter as most of the US hadn't seen it before.

I got lucky that KHJ Channel 9 in LA (now known as KCAL) starting airing the syndicated Canadian shows in the late 70s, so I got exposed to these really early. It was great to see them re-aired during the NBC era, because we didn't even have a VCR, much less RU-vid to watch these over and over again.

@@foobarmaximus3506 I knew that they were two different formats. I was talking about content. Everyone has their preference. Thank you for your reply.

Don't let the old man in!

Same here, Now that I’m older, I understand the beaver dying in Vietnam line.

All SO wrong; but... SO FUNNY!

C'mon. You still have Celine Dion...

65 now.

+Frank Iezzi SCTV was/IS LIGHT YEARS ahead of SNL.

"seems so stiff and staged. And still does." No shit. If anything it would just be even more stiff and staged, and generally terrible, now. Best years for SNL: 76-79, 1982-83(almost completetly due to Eddie Murphy), 87-94, 96-2000. Everything else on Saturday Night Dead *sucked*.

SNL is live so cue cards are invaluable. SCTV was taped so any mistakes in the dialouge were easily fixed by doing another take.

Frank you are so right and this was the best sketch evet

Wish we had it now.

No doubt! I was lucky to sit and have a beer with him at a local function back in the day!

We all miss John Candy.

Everybody. .

Me too. Amazing talent.

That's because a shit leopard can't change its shit spots.

Haul in the jib before it gets covered in shit

Mee too, watched it every Friday night...best comedy of all time !!!!

Have you caught the bandit yet 😅

I'll have to Google that one, thanks.

Yes, right down to the homicide.

lol, i noticed that the second time around . . . its the little nuances that make this funnier, lmao

Thanks for sharing that....my God me too, it's because I was so focused on Beavers Dad who reall made me laugh, can't wait to watch it again and get another laugh and yes I've seem it many times.

Why not?

How about Larry's demise coming about from gagging on an apple?

Hello Rosanna, how are you doing?

I'll never forget that at the 35th Annual Emmy Awards, Perry Como was given a tribute for 50 years on television. Looking out at the audience, he mentioned "SCTV~one of my better fan clubs" (words to that effect). The cast were all sitting together in complete awe that Perry Como had actually seen the skit and acknowledged it with such charming good humor.

Perry was such a class act

Absolutely 💯

Yeah. Count Floyd was legendary.
