I’ll always love her for speaking jive.

Classy lady.
She was all right…but she was no Whitney Blake (from “Hazel”)

She owned a restaurant with her sons. I’ve been there for lunch on occasion when I was in W.L.A. at lunch time. Never been there for dinner though.
#3!
Oh the times I stared longingly at the Admiral black and white consol TV dreaming of gossamer nights with Mrs. Baxter……
@1 You said exactly what I was going to say. I have never laughed so hard and happily as when seeing that scene for the first time.
Who’s going to translate jive for the honkies now? ๐

The scenes that made me laugh so hard that I couldn’t breathe were in The Naked Gun: the early scene where OJ Simpson gets shot, then reacts to all the other misery he experiences when he bumps his head, burns his hand on the radiator, gets wet paint on his clothes, etc.; and the later scene when Leslie Nielsen steps behind the plate as the umpire.
Kind of sad to learn that the Airplane! producers are rightwing douchebags.
And the other time I laughed as hard was when Terrence and Philip started singing Uncle Fucka in the South Park movie.
Kinda odd to think that it’s been 28 years since Hugh Beaumont died:

I always loved June. Loved her clothes, and the way she saw through Eddie Haskell’s BS. She was a bit stodgy in her decorating taste – Samantha Stevens was much more with it in that regard, at least in the early years, although no one could hold a candle to Laura Petrie when it came to decor – but all in all a real classy lady. Like someone who would have been in Mother Vel-DuRay’s bridge club.
“Chump don’t want no help, chump don’t get no help.”
I wonder if June Cleaver knew that Fred Rutherford (actor Richard Deacon) was gay.
“ward were’nt you a little hard on the beaver last night?”
