After Jerry died at Nam never kept up with his later appearances.
4/10 Oh well
5/10 I sucked on this one...Jerry Mathers holds the distinction of being the LAST surviving starring cast member of Leave it to Beaver. Hugh Beaumont (Dad), Barbara Billingsley (Mom), and Tony Dow (Wally) are all sadly gone. Only a few of the co-starring character actors are still among the living. The main recurring cast member Ken Osmond (Eddie Haskell) the annoying, phony baloney jealous so-called friend of Wally sadly passed away at 76 years old in 2020. Beaver's "turncoat" friend "Larry" is still alive at 75 year old. And the "snitch" classmate of Beaver "Judy Hensler" is also still among the living. The first season Beaver's teacher "Miss. Landers" Sue Randall died of cancer at the young age of 49. Lastly, Beaver's little "follower" classmate "Whitey" passed away at the young age of 45. I read that he was a heroin addict at one time in his life and contracted Hepatitis later on and died at a local hospital on his birthday September 20th, 2020. I was really saddened by the passing of big brother Tony Dow, I could not imagine him gone and I read that Jerry Mather's had shed many tears learning of his "big brother's" passing. Wishing Jerry "The Beaver" a long full life. God Bless
How could Whitey have died at the age of 45 in 2020? That would have made him born in 75
The only game show I remember seeing Jerry Mathers on was The Dating Game. He was Bachelor #2 and he won.
8/10 don't recall the Love Boat episode.
7/10
7 out of 10.
6/10. I always thought Wally (Tony Dow) was the more interesting character.
How well do you know Jerry Mather's career? Not very well 4/10
4/10. Barbs is mad. I should’ve read the Beaver’s book, huh? Family Mathers.
7/10
7 for 10. This kid really had nothing special, but he made his Midwestern plainness a universal asset! I knew 500 kids in grade school just like him. Ok, maybe 25, maybe 10, but you get the picture. Beaver was the All American third grader who had a crush on his teacher, got chased around by his older brother’s idiot friends, incessantly pulled an obnoxious girl’s (Judy, who else) pigtails, had mud on his blue jeans and Sunday suit, asked the local fireman all kinds of dumb kid questions and lied about his father falling out of an airplane when asked why his poor report card wasn’t signed. We all experienced these nutty situations and that’s what made Beaver and his world so inviting each week in our own homes. The creators and writers had American school kids read like a book when they concocted Leave It to Beaver.
6/10 Barbara Billingsley is disappointed . . . sorry June :)
Gee Wally, she only got 6/10…mad mom real mad!
Jerry also recently, this past year I believe, was a guest on the Horror YouTube show Creature Features (which used to be on KOFY TV in the San Francisco Bay Area) if anyone is interested looking it up there. It was kind of surreal to see “The Beave” being interviewed in a haunted mansion by the host, Vincent Van Dahl, a “has been rock and roll star”.

5/10, I blew it.
10/10 I blowed it away.
They ought to just leave this poor guy, alone.
He did an interview a few months ago and according to his website he has several appearances at conventions or cons (w/e they call them), before the end of the year. So he seems quite active still and guessing he enjoys the publicity?
7 out of 1, did ok
You got 7 out of 10
