According to Wikipedia, the street set on the Universal backlot was being used for The New Leave It to Beaver basic cable series prior to being modified for this film! 🤣 #TCMParty #TheBurbs

This guy's art makes Edvard Munch seem cheery in comparison.

He is very funny. I didn't remember him off the bat. But he has appeared in small but entertaining roles in many movies, including "Die Hard" where he's the guy in the manhole who the FBI forces to cut power to the grid.

By the look on his face, I don't think Tom enjoyed that snack. #TheBurbs #TCMParty

Welp, this is awkward. #TheBurbs #TCMParty

Love how out of place the Klopeks' house looks. Like if Bates Motel was in the Beaver's neighborhood. #TCMParty #TheBurbs

Now I KNOW this zooming-in-and-out scene was in the promposal! (It was a weird one.) #TCMParty #TheBurbs

Not every movie gives you Bruce Dern playing ding-dong-ditch but again that's the Joe Dante difference #TCMParty #TheBurbs

I recall this dream sequence from (IIRC) a promposal my brother did by editing together film clips on VHS. #TCMParty #TheBurbs

I just realized I was several minutes behind in the movie. (Had to pause earlier.) I'll refer back to this in case I think there's a plot hole that people can explain. #TCMParty #TheBurbs

I know they explained why Ray's home. Why are all his neighbors not working during the day? #TCMParty #TheBurbs
