I have this memory of a TV character being visited in a dream or something by Barbara Billingsley and all the stay-at-home moms from TV and being told they weren't so perfect because they had jobs, acting on TV.RIP Tony...Your character Wally, along with Jerry Mather's Beaver (or as Eddie Haskell said "Young Theodore ") were characters that we could all relate to growing up, Hugh Beaumont played a great Dad, but Barbara Billingsley's "Mom" was such a stereotyped representation of a 1950s Housewife even then, it seemed almost comic. In fact everyone should checkout Barbara Billingsley's cameo role in "Airplane" she was brilliant, a real gem.
