I have to agree with jwalsh67 on this. Why couldn't we have been allowed to rest in the fantasy that our favorite characters grew-up to be better than they were? There was simply no reason for the makers of this to have insisted that "Beaver" Cleaver's character not be allowed to do so.
And they didn't. Indeed, he's still whining, still clueless. And as has been noted, towards the end of the original series, Beaver was already on the road to maturity.
If I remember correctly, in the last episode Ward says to June, "We've either raised them right or we haven't." The answer to this was a resounding "You failed" from the producers.
