Name all the social issues that Beaver touched on.


I'll name the first one....alcoholism

reply

There were no gay folks.

reply

That's because the show was presented in black and white.

reply

Maybe not alcholism directly but they did deal with a drunk person. It was in the episode when Wally graduated and they had the all night party at the Country Club and when they came out, there was a drunk guy who spilled some alcohol on Wally and his date's father spelled in on Wally and got mad.

reply

They touched on smoking a bit in an episode called "The Pipe."

reply

Didn't Wally almost fall for a slut in one episode? I'm not trying to be funny. I remember it.
