Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Father Knows Best was the stereotypical 1950s Dom Com TV show about the average American home with 2.5 children. It aired from 1954 to 1960, channel-hopping from CBS to NBC and then back to CBS again during its run.Robert Young played Jim Anderson, an insurance agent; Jane Wyatt (who would later go on to play Spock's mother Amanda in the original Star Trek) was Jim's wife, Margaret; Billy Gray played Bud, the wisecracking teenage son; Elinor Donahue appeared as the typical teenage daughter, Betty; and Lauren Chapin as the youngest girl, Kathy (nicknamed "Kitten.")The story revolved around the various issues the family got involved in. It is also noteworthy for being a complete subversion of the trope it supposedly represents. Like most sitcoms of its time, it originated as a radio program that lasted from 1949 to 1954, around the time the television version aired.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This is the show that marked veteran actors Robert Young and Jane Wyatt’s transition from the big screen to the small screen. Young would also become famous for his portrayal as a doctor and the title character in Marcus Welby, M.D..A pair of reunion movies featuring the TV cast were made in 1977. | |
