Floyd's Saxophone Playing Son?
21 October 2021
Never did get to see any of Floyd's family. Inquiring minds want to know -- who played his saxophone playing son? I don't see his name anywhere in the credits (credited or not).

Dennis the Menace (1959–1963)
10/10
A Classic Masterpiece
25 June 2020
Born in 1955 I remember watching "Dennis the Menace" in prime time along with "Lassie," and others shows that were a mainstay of our family Sunday evening viewing. I just discovered the entire series is now available on the ROKU app.

This TV classic is a underrated masterpiece! Jay North was brilliant as Dennis and I regret the experience was painful for him. Glad to hear Jay has come to terms with his performance and his experience as he gave great joy to his audience.

Dennis must be the smartest kid on TV! All the schemes he devised is unparalleled by any other kid character. The chemistry between Jay North and Joseph Kearns (Mr. Wilson) worked beautifully. Kearns was equally as brilliant playing the good-hearted curmudgeon who lived next door. Lets face it -- Dennis loved Mr. Wilson and, although he rarely admitted it, Mr. Wilson loved Dennis.

The best part of childhood are the friends we had growing up. Tommy Anderson (played by Billy Booth) exemplified the "best friend" every kid had (or wanted to have).

The only negative comment pertains to Dennis' parents. They seem clueless on how to handle an incredibly intelligent and energetic son

Not sure how well this classic translates to today's audience, but this is one of the best sitcom's from the early days of television.
