ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Tony Dow and Barbara Billingsley, for their kindness in allowing me to conduct interviews to gather background information about Leave It To Beaver. Their insight and comments were extremely helpful, and they provided invaluable assistance which permitted me to conduct this analysis.

I would also like to thank my friend and advisor, Dr. Stephen Davies for his time, effort and advice, all of which helped to guide me through this project from its initial inception through to the finished product.
