... because it is classic Eddie Haskell.
Eddie's sons cause problems for the new generation of Cleavers as in getting one Cleaver suspended and another two Cleavers accused of shoplifting on the same day that Eddie's flirting with a wealthy widow in Wally's law office causes Wally to lose her as a client. This causes June to ban all Haskells from her house, and her argument to son Wally convinces him to do the same at his house. Eddie's attempts to make up with Wally are rebuffed.
This leads to an unintentional heart to heart between Eddie and his oldest son about how much they miss and need the Cleavers. At Wally's house, he and his son have the same conversation about how they don't know what that certain something is about the Haskells that makes them want them around in spite of all of the problems that they bring. How will this all work out? Watch and find out.
Two of the writers for this episode were regular writers of the original Leave It To Beaver show, and they certainly have the characters down. And Ken Osmond certainly remembers how it's done in spite of twenty years, a career as a LA policeman, and the rumors of him being Alice Cooper having occurred in the years since he last played the role of Eddie Haskell. Osmond's actual sons play his sons in the sitcom.
