Re: Name that TV show!

What was the name of one of the 50's B&W TV shows to celebrate the joys of the middle class nuclear family? The guy who played the son later grew up to become a motorbike racer and inventor of the Lovin' Thumb Self-Massager. The youngest daughter grew up to become a famous evangelist and motivational speaker.

"Chico and the Man"

by Jose Feliciano


Song: Chico and the Man Lyrics

Chico, don't be discouraged,
The Man he ain't so hard to understand.
Chico, if you try now,
I know that you can lend a helping hand.

Because there's good in everyone
And a new day has begun
You can see the morning sun if you try.

And I know, things will be better
Oh yes they will for Chico and the Man
Yes they will for Chico and the Man.

I dunno, Lurkah. That wasn't what I had in mind! But, that doesn't mean you're wrong, either! Maybe there are 2...or more...answers! I was thinking of something/someone a bit more...ummm...comedic!

No, he became an LA cop:

"...
The child-actor who became so memorable as the wise-cracking Eddie Haskell went on to a real life career as one of the "good guys," whose job is "to Protect and to Serve." Ken Osmond served an 18 year career with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). During his time on the force he worked in vice, narcotics and as a motorcycle officer. He retired after getting hit with three bullets while in a foot chase with a suspected car thief. He eventually returned to acting with appearances on Happy Days and the TV movie High School USA. Osmond reprised his role as “Eddie” on the TV series revival Still the Beaver and appeared in the 1997 feature film Leave It to Beaver. For the 1997 film, instead of attempting to replace Osmond's unforegettable Haskell character, Osmond played Eddie Haskell, Sr., with young actor Adam Zolotin in the role of Eddie Haskell, Jr...."
