You can't force an entire family with six kids into a station wagon with a dog hanging out the window and no one wearing seat belts. Women are not servants. They do not serve a man dinner and coffee the minute he comes home, bring his slippers, and newspaper.
"Dinner and coffee when he comes home". Of course not! He gets a martini first! And puts his feet up while she runs her fingers thru his hair and nibbles on his ear. Dinner comes later. 😉

My grandkids aren't permitted to watch those shows and movies. Older James Bond movies? Not in our house! But, thanks for the laugh. Today, happy wife, happy life. If a man knows what is good for him, he'll be serving the martinis. Shaken, not stirred. (Three blue-cheese stuffed olives will earn you bonus points.)

"Happy wife, happy life". Didn't a woman coin that phrase? I think her name was Lorena Bobbit, or something like that. 😲😱😖

Wasn't it a man who coined the phrase, "a woman's place is pregnant, barefoot, and in the kitchen?" Not certain of my facts, but I believe he was the first victim.

I stand by my previous post. If a man knows what's good for him...

Yeah! Don't remember his real name, but everyone calls him "Stumpy". 😱

You must be thinking about another man. The one I am referring to is from the James Bond Series - Pussy Galore's cousin, Willy Nomore.

He will be featured in the remake of Never Say Never, Again. I don't want to give away the plot but he meets a fierce woman and...
Let me just say, the title of the movie says it all.

Fun fact: This character was based on a real person.

June would always say, “Go easy on the Beaver Ward”. Or Dad is going to kill us!

Since you brought it up.....the West End is one of the most disgusting uses of eminent domain in US ‘urban renewal’ history. It’s what happens when a developer (Jerome Rappaport) cozies up to a powerful politician (in this case Mayor John Hynes). The rest is still case law in the US. But I digress.

Barbara Billingsley was a smoke show! She wouldve looked good in a burlap potato sack. Can only imagine being a teen on that set!

Default "Call Me Lumpy" by Frank Bank

I read this several years ago. The biography of Frank Bank, the actor who played Lumpy. I can't recommend the book (Frank is either the most successful man you will ever encounter, or the biggest braggart) but the sample on Amazn is definitely worthwhile.

I was born in the 1960s, so Leave it to Beaver was more my parents’ show, but I enjoyed watching it in reruns, along with Dennis The Menace.
