Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A series of 16 films made by MGM, about the homespun adventures of a Midwestern family: wise patriarch Judge Hardy (Lewis Stone), his wife Emily (Fay Holden), their daughter Marian (Cecilia Parker) and their rambunctious teenage son, Andy (Mickey Rooney). In each film, the family would find themselves embroiled in some minor trouble, only to be saved by the Judge’s good advice.With their combination of comedy, sentimentality, patriotism, and beautiful starlets, the films were hugely popular in their day. There were a whopping 14 films made between 1937 and 1944, which turned Mickey Rooney into the top box-office draw in the world, launched the careers of several actresses, and turned the Hardy family into iconic portraits of “true Americans.”After World War II, however, the mood of the country became more cynical and the films became derided for their corniness. The one movie made immediately after the war was a flop, as was a nostalgic reunion movie made in the 1950s. Despite their enormous success in their heyday, the movies, aside from those starring Judy Garland, haven’t been seen much since.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

comment
Early Installment Weirdness: The series format wasn't really nailed down until the fourth film, Love Finds Andy Hardy, so the first three have some unusual aspects in retrospect. Also, several characters were recast after the first film. (Lionel Barrymore, who played Judge Hardy in A Family Affair, was replaced thereafter by Lewis Stone.)

Breakout Character: Earlier films in the series focused on the entire Hardy family, but starting with Love Finds Andy Hardy Andy became the central character.
