RIP. She left a lasting mark on our pop culture in A Christmas Story, very grateful for her talent.
They were all crappy friends to each other. Swartz put Flick up to licking the pole and laughed about it. No one stayed behind to help Flick. Boys that age don’t hold grudges over stuff like that.
Ok, according the Wikipedia, he is alive and well. Why would you make up a story like this?
I’ve been busier this year than usual and had company last night. Yes, there’s much less posting now than in the past. Some of us have been here, and before that on IMDB, posting together for about 15 years? It’s comforting to know that the regulars still stop by at least to check in. Maybe out of sight sometimes, but not out of mind. Merry Xmas, everyone!
Hi duval, so glad to see you again! It wouldn’t be the same without you
Hi nuts! So happy to see you here again this year!

Where did you get the notion that Ward spanked Beaver or ever hit the kids? On the contrary, Ward said numerous times that he did not ever hit the kids, and that he was raising them very different from the way his father raised him. Ward alluded several times to how his father had been abusive towards him. Also, the kids didn’t fear Ward, they respected him and wanted his approval and didn’t want to disappoint him. That was actually a very positive dynamic that is very lacking today in many families.
You’re missing the point of the show. lITB was unique in its day because it was the first series that was told from the perspective of the kids. It was not about the parents, but about the kids. It is safe to assume that Ward and June had a relationship apart from the kids and other interests, but that is not what the show is about.
