Whole show is about your buddies getting you into trouble

Both Beaver and Wally are constantly led into trouble by their best mates.

Is that just because is a sitcom or was it because some friends weren’t really good friends?

They're shit friends! I get thinking about my own childhood and we pulled some numbers on each other but sheesh, the friends of this poor family were just hell bent on wrecking status quo.

Beaver far more often than Wally, though. Wally was more savvy.

I haven't watched much of this show but it does seem to me there aren't any black characters. They should add some in digitally. The wife could easily be made black. And one of the sons.

lmao there's no black people in this show.

The show is about the trials of being a kid/teen. If Beaver had been cautious due to good instincts or just plain fear of doing something wrong he'd have to account for, the show would have been dull.
But if now and then the writers had Beaver tell someone like Richard to go pound sand and we saw 'Rickover' get in trouble for a change, that would have been good too.
