here they come with a rum-tee tum they're having a toy parade. a tin giraffe with a fife and drum is leading the kewpie parade. a gingham cat in a soldier's hat is waving a chinese fan, a plastic clown in a wedding gown is dancing with raggedy ann. fee fie fiddle dee dee they're crossing the living room floor fee fie fiddle dee dee they're up to the dining room door. they call a halt for a choc'late malt or cookies and lemonade then off they go with a ho ho ho right back to their toy brigade. dvd releases universal studios home entertainment has begun releasing leave it to beaver on dvd region 1. they have released seasons 1 and 2 thus far, and it is expected the remaining four seasons will follow. dvd name ep # release date the complete first season 39 november 22, 2005 the complete second season 39 may 2, 2006 the complete third season 39 tba the complete fourth season 39 tba the complete fifth season 39 tba the complete sixth season 39 tba urban legends in the mid 1970s, mathers appeared on the tomorrow show hosted by tom snyder. snyder pointed out that he hadn't worked for a long time and that there was rumor going around that he had been killed "in the war in southeast asia". mathers politely replied that he had heard that rumor and that he had no idea how it got started. the earliest appearance of the story in print was in a student newspaper at the university of kansas in 1972. later the author admitted that she had only heard the story from someone who had heard it a party in omaha, nebraska earlier that year. the paper printed a retraction but by then the story had swept the nation and this silly rumor joined the rest of the legends of americana. the story was later attributed to a member of a defunct omaha comedy improv group whose hobby was concocting outrageous stories and then convincing people they were true. "beaver died in vietnam"[1] was a classic urban legend, memorable for its juxtaposition of prelapsarian 1950s imagery with the chaos and violence of the 1960s. another urban legend was that actor ken osmond (eddie haskell) became porn star john holmes. holmes took osmond's name and did several movies satirically under the name "eddie haskell". it started because there was some facial resemblance between the two men, which porn distributors exploited by using the name eddie haskell in advertising holmes's films. "it was a pain in my butt for eleven years," says osmond,[citation needed] who brought a defamation suit against porn houses, producers and distributors. mr. osmond launched a $25 million suit. the suit went all the way to the california supreme court. the court ruled for mr. holmes, saying the name was protected as a satire. this case set a precedent in the matter, and is still referred by other cases in california today.[4] in a rolling stone interview with rock singer, alice cooper stated that he was "eddie haskell" as a child. he was speaking metaphorically, yet some readers interpreted him literally.[citation needed]
