continuity of storyline. Very occasionally a reference is made to a
previous episode but episodes can easily be viewed out of air-date
order. There are no multi-part stories in the season nor in the
complete series.For season one, a voice-over prologue by Hugh Beaumont
precedes each early episode's opening credits, providing a background
to that episode's theme, and always concludes with "And that's our
story tonight on Leave It to Beaver." The voice-over prologues are
discontinued mid-season and replaced with a short scene extracted from
the episode at hand. The prologues are retained in the first-season
DVD release but are omitted in airings on TV Land. Leave It to Beaver (season 1) Top Movies & Young Movies
