By FRED ROTH EN BERG AP Television Writer NEW YORK (AP) It's 20 years later, and Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver is still the poor schlemiel we all knew and loved In Saturday night's nostalgic and riotous, CBS movie, "Still the Beaver," writers Nick Abdo and Brian Levant have lovingly brought the 1960s Beaver into the '80s, turning him into the father we knew he would be, if he never grew up. About the only thing different about Beaver, now 33 and still wearing his baseball cap, is his slight paunch. It would have been too much of a culture shock if Beaver (Jerry trox, honesty and Ward Cleaver lessons which viewers learned a generation ago at the bruised knee of The Beav.

"Beaver has always needed guidance," says bis mother, played by Barbara Billingsley, who still looks great (for a mother) and can still dispense top-notch maternal advice: "If you don't rinse out your coffee right away, it leaves rings." In one of the well-integrated flashbacks from the old black-and-white "Leave It to Beaver" series, Beaver says he cant imagine being a parent and having his children fear and respect him. Not to worry; they don't. He takes his sons to the zoo, and one of them wonders how dad will "mess up." Beaver helps old ladies onto buses, but the doors close and he' gets stuck at the bus stop. He separates his kids during an argument in the car, but drives the vehicle into a lake. He's like many Americans unemployed but he lost his job when his father-in-law fired him.

Beaver's wife is fed up with his irresponsible and immature ways. Beaver fights for the marriage. "I don't want you to leave," he pleads. "I'm not. You are," she says.

End of marriage. Beginning of new life. With his two savvy sons in tow, Beaver returns to Mayfield (pop. 18,240) and his old house to bathe his family in the traditional mid-American values of a full ice- c9 FOR THE HEARTY. APPETITE! Feast On Our Super SUB SANDWICH lj Qwiss cheese, lettuce.
