Jerry Mathers, best known for his role as Theodore “Beaver” Cleaver on the classic sitcom “Leave It to Beaver,” says he’s thankful the show continues to offer peace and comfort to audiences nearly seven decades after it first aired.

“Hard to believe it is almost 70 years since ‘Leave It to Beaver’ first aired on television,” the 77-year-old actor told Fox News Digital in a recent statement. “Our fans are so devoted, and many write to me that they record the show in the morning and watch it at night so they can have a peaceful sleep in this crazy world.”
