Top 10 episodes of Leave It to Beaver according to IMDb
The Best of The Beav
Look, there's no accounting for taste. One person's trash is another's Mona Lisa. TV, like all art, is subjective. Acting like any episode is better or worse than another is an opinion. Opinions divide us a great deal, so it's important to take stock of when they bring us together. Review aggregator sites, like IMDb, collect opinions together and assign scores to TV shows and movies. While these scores are silly (art can't be graded), they do point us toward times when people share our opinions.
So, let's use the made-up rankings from IMDb scores to see when we share our fellow fans' opinions! Here are the Top 10 episodes of Leave It to Beaver, according to users on IMDb. We've even thrown in that website's plot description for each episode to trigger a few memories! Let us know when you share those opinions and when you don't. What's your favorite?
