There’s just something comforting about Leave It to Beaver — and this August, FETV is giving us a perfect excuse to slow down and savor the final days of summer with a full day of classic episodes during their Leave It to Beaver Back-to-School Marathon. The marathon is set to air this Sunday, August 3, 2025, and it’s packed with episodes that remind us what it felt like to be a kid. Viewers can expect classics like “Beaver’s I.Q.” and “The Dramatic Club,” where we see our favorite little brother wrestle with school, friends and family.

FETV has been airing Leave It to Beaver since 2021, and over the years, they’ve made it a home for some of TV’s most beloved families. The show reminds us what good parenting looked like in the golden age of television, even if the situations were sometimes a little too perfect.
