Wally's girlfriend Julie Foster (Cheryl Holdridge) is impressed by the moustache worn by transfer student Wayne Gregory (Robert Koff), so much so that she dumps Wally (Tony Dow) in favor of Wayne. Out of jealousy, Wally decides to cultivate a bit of lip fuzz himself. The results are far from suave and sophisticated -- in fact, they're downright laughable. The question is, will Julie laugh along with everyone else, or will she see the error of her ways? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Moving to a new night (Thursday rather than Saturday), and boasting a jazzy new arrangement of its theme song, Leave It to Beaver settles down for its sixth and final season. Hoping to impress his girlfriend Julie Foster (Cheryl Holdridge), Wally (Tony Dow) decides to take her on a fancy dinner date. He's even willing to go the whole nine yards by escorting Julie to the White Fox, the classiest place in town (needless to say, this was Julie's idea). As the couple enjoys their very expensive meal (80 cents for the soup alone), Wally confidently reaches for his wallet -- only to find it isn't in his pocket! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

After several appearances in the recurring role of Gloria Cusick, Cheryl Holdridge matriculates to the part of Wally's new girlfriend Julie Foster. Gloria's a sweetheart, but there's a problem -- she's also the daughter of Wally's English teacher, Mr. Foster (Ross Elliott). This sets Wally to worrying that he'll receive undeserved high grades now that he's squiring the teacher's daughter -- and later on, he is certain that he'll flunk out when he breaks up with Julie. Meanwhile, Lumpy Rutherford (Frank Bank), perennial failing student, moves in on Julie, convinced that he's now "got it made." He doesn't -- as is proven beyond all doubt in the episode's sidesplitting denouement. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Wally (Tony Dow) has taken a summer job selling Igloo ice cream. Naturally, his friends take advantage of Wally, begging him to sell them ice cream on credit. Threatened with bankruptcy, Wally calls in all his debts at once, whereupon an outraged Eddie Haskell (Ken Osmond) cooks up a clever revenge, placing a phony phone order for ice cream to be delivered at a girl's slumber party -- where, of course, no boys are allowed. The episode's slapstick finale is almost unbearably funny! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Disneyland began its fourth season on the air with a gala, all-star "special", essentially designed to promote all three of Disney's network TV series. Pressured by his cartoon creations and the latest crop of Mouseketeers to tell them what's in store for the 1957-58 season, host Walt Disney offers tantalizing glimpses of the new weekly adventure show Zorro, the Disneyland miniseries The Saga of Andy Burnett (with Jerome Courtland in the title role) and the newest installments of such Mickey Mouse Club serials as "Spin and Marty." The remainder of the Fourth Anniversary Show is an uncut presentation of the "Peter and the Wolf" segement from the 1946 animated feature Make Mine Music. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
