Eddie H
Tuesday Aug 3
TV Guide voted the kiss up Eddie Haskell one of the 20th century's greatest tv characters. He would flatter Beaver’s mom in the kitchen ("Your hair looks lovely today, Mrs. Cleaver”) and then go upstairs and creep on Beaver.
There’s a syndrome named after him … someone who is oversolicitous to adults. My Girl Scout cookie robbing bestie Paul S was a Eddie H type. My baby sister Jessie liked him a lot. She had a pet fly - even though our dad forbid her to have it - and one day Paul told her it winked at him.
I learned early on…people like flattering comments… even coming from a kid, PS
