Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe street and the sidewalk where the bus picks up or drops off Beaver are wet, as if it had rained. The water is actually a device deliberately employed for toning down the glare from the sun and the studio lighting used in these shots.
- GoofsIn the beginning Whitey requests to sit in the front of the bus because he gets car sick sitting behind stuff. At the end he sits third from the front, behind Larry and Charles.
- Quotes
June Cleaver: [Ward reads a note from the school, containing the rules for the new school bus service] Ward, that's wonderful. We won't have to worry about him fooling around on the way to school any more.
Ward Cleaver: No, I suppose not. Although, I always thought of walking to school as one of childhood's most cherished memories. Well, I suppose it has to be swept away, along with corduroy knickers and the felt beanie.
June Cleaver: Corduroy knickers?
Ward Cleaver: Well sure, don't you remember, dear? When you walked, they whistled.
June Cleaver: I went to a girls' school.
Ward Cleaver: Well, I better take these rules up to Beaver so he can look 'em over after supper tonight.
June Cleaver: He'll probably be as excited about riding the bus as you were with your whistling knickers.
Beaver's school will now have a bus that will make sufficient stops so that everybody can ride it. There are rules, though, and if you break those rules you can get suspended from being able to ride the bus for a few days. Beaver gets into a fight with another boy and is suspended from riding the bus for one week. Ward suggests he write a letter of apology to the bus driver in hopes he'll let Beaver back on the bus.
Today, there would be about three levels of attorneys between the offending child and the bus driver. No bus driver is going to be empowered with the right to either revoke or grant privileges to ride the school bus. Also, Ward and June send Beaver over alone to give the bus driver the letter. Nobody would send their child to a total stranger's home to give them a note. Anything could happen.
Then there are Ward and June worrying about how to get Beaver to school - Ward will have to drop him off on the way to work because it is too far to walk. Wait a minute, just two weeks ago Beaver WAS walking to school from this address. Why is this suddenly such an emergency to do without something they didn't have a month ago?
