About this product
The history of FATHER KNOWS BEST stretches back to the late 1940s, when the comedy about the family life of insurance salesman Jim Anderson (Robert Young) debuted as a radio show. In 1954 CBS picked up the show and turned it into a hit sitcom that ran until 1960. This includes the entire first season of episodes, which follow the distinctly middle-class lives of Jim, his wife Margaret (Jane Wyatt), and their kids, Betty InchPrincessInch Anderson (Elinor Donahue), James InchBudInch Anderson (Billy Gray), and Kathy InchKittenInch Anderson (Laurin Chapin). Each episode finds the family members slotting into very traditional roles, but Young and the co-creator of the show, Eugene Rodney, would occasionally subvert events to show that, in fact, father doesn't always know best. Star Robert Young, Jane Wyatt, Elinor Donahue, Billy Gray Special Features Full Frame 1.33 Audio (Unspecified), English Additional Material Audio Commentary Cast and Crew Behind the Scenes Year of 2007.

Following Season One's cancellation from it's 10 30 p.m. time slot on CBS, fans protested, prompting rival network NBC to pick up the series for a second season. The show became successful when it began airing in August 1955 at the more family-friendly time of 8 30 p.m.. a growing number of families began tuning in to see what kind of trouble 'Bud' (Billy Gray) was going to get into next, how Kathy (Lauren Chapin) was handling growing up, whether Betty (Elinor Donahue) and her boyfriend du jour would break up and how Margaret (Jane Wyatt) would inevitably hold their universe together. A day in the life of the Andersons was a 1950s suburban dream come true.
