Trivia
When Beaver and Larry go downtown to spend their accumulated money, the stock footage used as an establishing shot for Mayfield is Lincoln Avenue, Skokie, Illinois in the 1950s. A 1955 Chevrolet is seen traveling North, toward St Peter's Church. As Beaver and Larry are shown turning a corner, inspecting what they've bought, the view is Universal Studios' back lot, looking toward the area known as 'Courthouse Square.' The sign at the corner of the street in front of Courthouse Square says "Dock St."

Goofs
When Larry and Beaver are standing at the lockers with 5 minutes to go in the show, Beaver is shown taking his lunch box out of his locker twice.

Quotes
Larry Mondello: Boy that was really neat the way you told him Beaver.

With Friends Like Larry Mondello Who Needs Enemies?

(*Wally to Beaver quote*) - "Beaver, you're a goof!"

5th grade bully, Sonny Cartwright is picking on the boys in Beaver's class and, as it turns out, Beaver is his next target (thanks to Larry Mondello's big mouth).

But Beaver has no fear since his fortune from the penny weighing machine tells him that today is, indeed, his lucky day.

Beaver decides to have a chat with his father about luck and that leaves him with a sense of certain doubt.

Anyway - All is not without hope for Beaver (even though his confidence has been shattered).
