Where To Watch
Who said it: Ward Cleaver or Mike Brady?
Both TV dads offered sound advice, funny responses and even had to get serious from time to time. Can you tell the difference?
CBS Television Distribution
One TV dad had a pair of boys, one had three boys and as many girls under one roof. Ward Cleaver from Leave It to Beaver and Mike Brady from The Brady Bunch are some of classic television's best known fathers for several reasons.
They each can be stern when they need to be, but the real reason they stand out is because of how dedicated to their children they are. Both tend to give the best fatherly advice on an episode to episode basis and both can even dish out a quick limerick or funny remark.
Though the shows aired several years apart, Mr. Cleaver and Mr. Brady tend to speak in similar manners.
Can you tell who said the lines below? Was it Ward Cleaver or Mike Brady?
Good luck!

i dont ever remember mike in the guard what eps is this in ?
You got 9 out of 10 correct! - There was no stopping you on this quiz! Good job! Now, move on to something a little more challenging, like whistling through your nose! Don't want to try that? Should have had a perfect score but talked myself out of Ward for #7. But do I feel like a creep!!

10 out of 10. Two great shows! Especially "Leave it to Beaver!"
8/10. 😀
10/10 to easy!!!
7/10 and I have seen most episodes of both shows.
9/10 We need more fathers like Ward Cleaver.
7/10. The ones I got wrong were all Ward picks. I don’t remember National Guard comment on BB. The button one seemed like MB but didn’t remember getting out of town part.
It's a VERY silly un-MIke line from The BB S1E6 - "A Clubhouse Is Not a Home".
Yeah...the "button" line is from BB S1E7 - "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore"...
Yeah...the "button" line is from BB S1E7 - "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore"...
Piece of cake. Avid watcher of both shows

Thanks MeTV! Love The Brady Bunch and Leave it to Beaver.How about bringing The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Bob Newhart Show,Dick Van Dyke Show(more than once a wk) and Laverne&Shirley back on and on weekdays? You could throw in a Little I Love Lucy and really make alot of seniors very happy!😁
Um....All of the shows cited above are readily available on DVD. If you're unable to spring $50 for the complete series editions of most of these titles, many public libraries will offer the lending of individual seasons to their patrons.
I thought I had 100% then got question 10 wrong.Lol! Thanks so much MeTV for bringing The Brady Bunch back to Sunday's and for putting Leave it to Beaver on at a later time and on Sundays.Life long fan of both shows.
10/10 Quite a few I could remember the episode they came from and, when that failed, Ward had the edge on Mike when it came to wisdom and humor. Ward is one of my all time favorite TV dad's. They don't make them like him anymore.
