Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Ward comes home from work at the start of the episode he can hear the boys working on something in the garage; he then starts looking at some pieces of wood stacked next to the garage. In the background you can see the holes in the garage wall which were caused in a previous episode by Beaver and Larry when they were playing with Ward's power tools Beaver Runs Away (1958).
- GoofsIt is obvious that Beaver deliberately tilts himself to tip the boat.
- Quotes
Chester Anderson: Now all we gotta do is get some skin to cover the boat.
Theodore Cleaver: There's no animals around here got that much skin.
Wally Cleaver: The Eskimos use seal skin. What are we gonna use?
Chester Anderson: Hey, my father's got an old raccoon coat. Maybe we could use that.
Tooey Brown: Aw, cut it out. Who wants a fuzzy canoe?
Featured review
Sneaky children
A good episode showing that all children have their moments of not doing what they are told and trying to get away with it. Good ending on this one.
BTW, to other posters, Jerry Mathers said both Billingsley and Beaumont were smokers when the show started. Billingsley gave it up by the time the show started filming, but Hugh took a little longer to give it up. Apparently, according to JM, both quit on their own - it wasn't a requirement.
