Brian on New Leave it to Beaver

[Eric Aniversario]

Anyone know the story on how Brian got involved with the New Leave it to Beaver back in 1988? Just seems so random and out there.

"Brian, we got asked if you wanted to do a cameo on The New Leave It To The Beaver? You could be a school teacher."

"Yes."

"Great, I'll tell the producers."

"What's a new beaver?"

Does anyone know the original air date of the episode he was in?  The show ran in the mid to late 80s, which would have been during the Landy era; I suspect he may have been involved in some way.

If I remember right, David Leaf was the involved in the show as Producer or in some other production role...

[Mr. Verlander]

I used to watch it as a kid. I had a crush on Kaleena Kiff, the girl who played Wally's daughter

The name of the episode is "Day Dreamin'".  Original air date May 16, 1988.  Brian plays Mr Hawthorne, the music teacher.

Ah, thanks.  That definitely puts it at the height of the Landy era.

Seem to remember that Kipp was dating Mr. Hawthorne's daughter and Mr. Hawthorne was one of those "hands off my daughter" types...

[southbay]

yeah, as I recall Leaf was a writer on the show

I haven't seen the "new" beaver show in years.  Is it out of circulation?   Not on netflix, tv land or any of the likely places I have looked......

The reason the series has not aired in American syndication since the early 1990s is because Universal sold the show's master videos and distribution rights to Qintex Productions (named after an Australian company), which served as the distributor when first-run episodes were aired in US syndication and went out of business shortly after the purchase was made, leaving the broadcast rights in limbo. This is also the reason why the series may never be released on DVD. However, according to the Bank/Osmond interview, the show does on a rare occasion air in British and Australian markets.
