Stuck between a Roku and a soft place

My buddy Dennis and I agree that “Leave it to be Beaver” is one of the best, if not the best, TV show ever made. Years ago, I told Dennis, in a hopeful tone, that someday the entire library of “Beaver” episodes, all six seasons, would be available online for viewing anytime. Well, that day is here — well, almost. A few episodes, for reasons unknown, are available only on disc. But the funny thing about that is, only the first two seasons have been released on DVD. Anyway, thanks to the amazing Roku Netflix player, I can watch Beav’ and lots of other neat stuff while sitting on the porch couch, looking at the 32-inch Sony, instead of sitting in front of the computer.

The Roku Netflix player is, for $100 (plus shipping), the single best deal in existence — assuming you already have a Netflix subscription. It installed easily, the WiFi reception is excellent, and I could say a lot more, but I’ve got to get back to watching more of the Cleavers. Gosh… there’s Cheryl Holdridge as Wally’s sometimes girlfriend, Julie…

  1. Ha-Ha! SNORT! Yur right Jean! I love the SHAM-WOW guy! I just saw him in the ad for the triangle painter and I want one! Those little paint edgers with the wheels drive me nuts. Eventually paint gets on those wheels and you end up with a quarter-inch painted line on your white ceiling.

  3. Why, this handy, dandy little wonder of the ages is something no household should be without, m’boy! Imagine having the televised delights of your childhood at your very fingertips. Yours to command with the mere touch of a button!

  4. Wh…whu….what???? I just looked at the box of my 2nd Season dvd set TODAY and saw that it came out in 2006. When, I wondered this very morning, is the rest of the series going to be available on dvd? And now, you are saying that you are watching episodes from other seasons – in the comfort of your home – and that they may have by-passed the dvd completely??? Wh….whu…what? How do I get me one of them thar things, sonny?
