Penny would replace Judy Hensler as Beaver's classroom nemesis in the following season when Jeri Weil leaves the show.Īctors Lucas 'Tiger' Fafara II (Tooey Brown), Buddy Hart (Chester Anderson), and Bobby Mittelstaedt (Charles Fredericks) leave the show. Karen Sue Trent joins the cast as Penny Woods.

Richard Correll joins the show and remains for the duration as Beaver's classmate and friend, Richard Rickover. Like the previous two seasons, all four main characters appear in every episode. The third season closing sequence features the new house and is used for both the fourth and fifth seasons. The boys walk along, approach the house and go to the door. Beaver walks along the curbstone carrying a baseball glove rather than schoolbooks until a passing vehicle forces him onto the sidewalk. The boys are seen in the distance approaching the viewer. Like the second season, the closing sequence shows Beaver and Wally walking down the street. The camera zooms in for a close-up of Beaver as he rubs the sleep from his eyes and smiles at Ward. Ward wakes Wally, while June wakes Beaver. The opening sequence shows Ward and June entering the boys' bedroom to wake them for a new day. Like the first two seasons, the third consists of 39 black-and-white, full-screen, half-hour episodes (with ads) recorded on 35mm film. The show moved from its Thursday time-slot to Saturday at 8:30 P.M., where it remained until September 1962, when it moved yet again for the final season. The third season of Leave It to Beaver debuted on ABC October 3, 1959, with 'Blind Date Committee' and concluded its run June 25, 1960, with 'Beaver's Team'.
