It is the 39th episode of the [sixth season](/source/Leave_It_to_Beaver_(season_6)), and the 234th episode overall.

She gathers the family together in the living room to glance through the book. Brief highlights from the series are replayed as the Cleavers reminisce over old photographs (which are stills from earlier episodes). [Ken Osmond](/source/Ken_Osmond) as [Eddie Haskell](/source/Eddie_Haskell), [Rusty Stevens](/source/Rusty_Stevens) as [Larry Mondello](/source/Larry_Mondello), [Madge Blake](/source/Madge_Blake) as Mrs. Mondello, [Pamela Baird](/source/Pamela_Baird) as Mary Ellen Rogers, and [Sue Randall](/source/Sue_Randall) as Miss Landers are seen in [flashback](/source/Flashback_(narrative))s from several episodes including "Beaver Gets 'Spelled", "New Neighbors", "My Brother's Girl", "The Shave", "Beaver Runs Away", "Larry Hides Out", "Teacher Comes to Dinner", and "Wally's Election". The episode ends with the teenaged Cleaver boys playing with a wind-up toy and laughing like children. In this final episode, the viewer learns how Beaver got his nickname. ==Cast and crew== "Family Scrapbook" stars [Hugh Beaumont](/source/Hugh_Beaumont) and [Barbara Billingsley](/source/Barbara_Billingsley) as archetypal suburban couple, [Ward](/source/Ward_Cleaver) and [June Cleaver](/source/June_Cleaver). Along for the ride are [Tony Dow](/source/Tony_Dow) as the couple's older son, [Wally Cleaver](/source/Wally_Cleaver), and [Jerry Mathers](/source/Jerry_Mathers) as their younger son, [Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver](/source/Theodore_Cleaver).

No other series prior to ''Leave It to Beaver'' had a special final episode except ''[Howdy Doody](/source/Howdy_Doody)'' in 1960 (which did not use flashbacks and was not a primetime sitcom). Most series ended with a general storyline episode, not unlike any other episode in the series.{{Cite web |url=http://www.tv.com/leave-it-to-beaver/family-scrapbook/episode/81230/summary.html |title=Leave It to Beaver: Family Scrapbook - TV.com |access-date=2007-12-30 |archive-date=2008-11-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081106180238/http://www.tv.com/leave-it-to-beaver/family-scrapbook/episode/81230/summary.html |url-status=dead }} ==See also== *[List of ''Leave It to Beaver'' episodes](/source/List_of_Leave_It_to_Beaver_episodes) ==References== *Applebaum, Irwyn.
