Notice in the movie that despite taking place in the 1990s, all the women and girls wear dresses or skirts.

I think it was just to show how in the "nuclear family" theme Leave it to Beaver has.

"extremely old"?! Wait a minute, I used to watch it when I was a kid!

They turned Gilbert into a black kid speaking ebonics while the clothing & atmosphere had a 50's feel. Beaver would rather have a bike then a computer? Thats the 50's style Beaver & not a kid of today.

> Beaver would rather have a bike then a computer?

In the late 1990s, computers weren't as main stream as they are today. Kids could play a few games on them, but that's about it. The internet was not yet popular. It was still a business computer for adults.

I remember the internet being fairly popular during the late 90's.

What decade would you say the Beaver's mother's make up was? It was seriously on street walker mode.
