This was the episode that was both fun to watch and very sentimental too. It's the last episode of the series, and fittingly, the Cleavers dust off an old scrapbook and relive some great stories.
A missed opportunity, yes, as I think the series could have gone on for a couple of more seasons. MY THREE SONS picked up the audience from this point and ran a total of 12 seasons, and in color. About 20 years later, most of the cast was reunited for a new series with wives and grandkids.
I agree with the last reviewer; this should have actually been an hour episode; surprisingly, there were other classic stories that were not included, but we'll take what we can get. This episode inspired many other sitcoms (in later years) to do the same thing as they ended their tv run.
Definitely a dash of poetic license here as the "snapshots" are actually a freeze frame of various embarrassing moments. It makes you wonder WHO was hanging around with a camera(!) at the precise second to take a picture of some mess the guys got themselves into? Whatever the case, never to forget all those forced smiles from Eddie Haskell as he entered the Cleaver household. TV history.
Fittingly directed by Hugh Beaumont, who would focus on more dramatic roles. He did have a brief recurring part on PETTICOAT JUNCTION as one of the inlaws during the classic wedding episodes. He also appeared in some memorable episodes of MANNIX, before retiring. Had Hugh not retired, he may have continued as a frequent guest star on that cop show.
From SEASON 6 remastered Universal dvd box set. The final season box set has come down in price, after many years. The front and back cover artwork is excellent. 2011 release.
