Father Knows Best, Volume 3

As created by actor Robert Young and writer Ed James, &quote;Father Knows Best&quote; began as a fairly typical situation comedy but, by the time the show was first aired in 1949, most of the cliches had been removed. What was left was a solid, well-written portrayal of typical middle-American family life, with a surprising emphasis on well-shaded characters, rather than outlandish situations, to bring out the humorous side of suburban life. Thanks to excellent writing and the outstanding acting talents of the principals, these still-hilarious broadcasts rise above the norm to make &quote;Father Knows Best&quote; one of the highlights of late-era network radio entertainment.
