June Cleaver really needs a hobby. She,and people like her,are the reason Valium was invented and it became so popular in the years following the cancelling of this tv series.

All parents worry about their kids,and want the best for them. Parents also need to have a good sense of perspective and a lot of common sense. June Cleaver comes up rather short in these departments sometimes,and in this episode especially.

It is nearly impossible to believe that this episode is,at heart,about boys' hairstyles and the way they comb their hair. This is the topic that drives the entire episode here. I really wish I were joking. Wally Cleaver tries out an odd new hairstyle and his mom June practically has a nervous breakdown over it. She actually goes to the high school principal to whine and worry to him about the way her son is combing and wearing his hair. I was waiting for the principal to tell June to go see a psychiatrist. It's unbelievable,one of the worst episodes in fact.

3/10.
