Osmond's portrayal was hilarious, believable, and with just enough pathos to make you feel sorry for Eddie and not detract from the humor. My favorite portrayal of all TV characters.Economics Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885718745379320164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-66210019468021561722014-01-14T10:59:51.364-05:002014-01-14T10:59:51.364-05:00Eddie hid behind his trouble maker facade, but dee...Eddie hid behind his trouble maker facade, but deep down he had a heart. Who could forget that episode where he talks Wally out of wearing a sport coat he knew the Beaver ruined. At the end, Beaver told Ward about it and said he wanted to tell everyone what a nice thing Eddie did Ward said "Look Beaver, you know Edddie did something nice and Eddie knows he did something nice, let's just leave it at that".
