Tony Dow (Wally Cleaver on Leave it to Beaver) dies at 77. One of the funniest shows of all time.

I've mentioned this before.

Shows like this one especially - and there were many others - were helpful for kids growing up to learn there are consequences to doing wrong things. Lying, stealing, etc.

Also reinforced the "family unit" concept.

Every single episode contained a life lesson. And you absorbed it most of the time not even realizing it - because the show was so darn entertaining with very creative writing. And to your point - the acting and actors were fantastic.

RIP to everyone's fav. big brother Wally - and thank you!

David Warner, Actor Who Played Villains and More, Dies at 80

David Warner, who started his career on the British stage, including playing Hamlet with the Royal Shakespeare Company when he was just 24, then gravitated toward film and television, accumulating more than 200 credits, including “The Omen,” “Time After Time,” “TRON,” “Titanic” and “Wallander,” died on Sunday in Northwest London. He was 80.
His family said in a statement that the cause of death, at Denville Hall, a retirement home for actors, was “a cancer-related illness.”
Although Mr. Warner played a wide variety of roles, he may have been most frequently identified with villainous ones. He was Jack the Ripper in “Time After Time” in 1979; two years later, in “Time Bandits,” his character was named simply Evil Genius. In “TRON,” the 1982 film in which Jeff Bridges’s character, Kevin Flynn, is transported into the innards of a computer, he was Flynn’s nemesis in both the real and the virtual world.

“I’ve never been asked to play the happy, romantic lead,” Mr. Warner told the British newspaper The Independent in 2003. “So getting the girl is something that has never happened to me. I’ve worked with some extraordinarily beautiful women, but they never want to stay with me.”

I really liked him in "The Omen".

RIP and thank you.....
