Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod - Father Knows Best "2 Episodes From 1953"



2 Episodes From 1953 - "The Boy Next Door" (Aired January 15, 1953) and "Bud Likes Girls" (Aired January 29, 1953)




Father Knows Best, a family comedy of the 1950s, is perhaps more important for what it has come to represent than for what it actually was. In essence, the series was one of a slew of middle-class family sitcoms in which moms were moms, kids were kids, and fathers knew best. Today, many critics view it, at best, as high camp fun, and, at worst, as part of what critic David Marc once labeled the "Aryan melodramas" of the 1950s and 1960s. The brainchild of series star Robert Young, who played insurance salesman Jim Anderson, and producer Eugene B. Rodney, Father Knows Best first debuted as a radio sitcom in 1949.
