Father Knows Best is a radio program based on a domestic comedy, which focuses on the Anderson family, and their experiences dealing with the day-to-day woes of life. The show centers around the family patriarch, Jim Anderson, as well as his wife Margaret, and their children Betty, Bud, and Kathy. The style and tone of Father Knows Best are light-hearted and family-oriented, with plotlines often involving misunderstandings, generation gap issues, and trivial arguments between the children. Although the comedy is not intended to be overly humorous, the program still manages to captivate the audience with its endearing and relatable characters.

Father Knows Best was broadcast from 1949 to 1954 on NBC, with a total of 203 episodes known to have aired. It was sponsored by General Foods during its three-year radio run, which led to numerous product advertisements throughout the show. Notably, the program was adapted to television in 1954, with the small screen version also starring Robert Young as Jim Anderson. The show ran on television until 1962, further solidifying its popularity and status as a classic family sitcom. Father Knows Best, then, served as a predecessor to other well-loved family comedies such as Ozzie and Harriet and Leave it to Beaver, and its impact can still be felt in today's television landscape.

Performers: Robert Young, June Whitley, Jean Vander Pyl, Rhoda Williams, Ted Donaldson, Norma Jean Nilsson
