Father Knows Best
Situation Comedy (1949 - 52)

Robert Young with MicrophoneFather Knows BestThe radio version of Father Knows Best stars Robert Young as Jim Anderson, and was the forerunner to the classic TV show of the same name. June Whitley plays his wife Margaret, with Jean Vander Pyl later taking the role. The kids act very similar to the way they do on the better-known TV show. Daughter Betty is played on the radio version by Rhoda Williams, Ted Donaldson plays Bud, and Norma Jean Nilsson is great as the littlest Anderson, Kathy. Of course, to Father, Kathy is "Kitten" and Betty is "Princess." Bud is just Bud.

The plots are family friendly, often misunderstandings that get blown out of proportion, generation gap issues or trivial but lesson-inspiring arguments between the kids. Jim Anderson works for an insurance company, but this is little more than background, since the stories invariably begin after Jim enters, saying, "Margaret, I'm home." The sponsor for the three-year run was General Foods. Of course, the Anderson's extol the virtues of the many fine General Foods products drawing a lucid connection between family bliss and consumerism.

Father Knows Best CastRobert Young appeared in his first movie in 1924, and was in many fine films such as Hitchcock's Secret Agent (1936), Northwest Passage (1940), H.M. Pulham, Esq. (1941) and Crossfire (1947). He had ultimately well over a hundred movies to his credit. In the early 1950s Young had effectively retired from films, Yet on the success of the old time radio show, he welcomed the return to on-screen acting, even if the screen was only 9 inches high! The rest of the TV cast are the ones fans of Robert Young Publicity StillNick at Night know and love. Along with Ozzie and Harriet and Leave it to Beaver, Father Knows Best was one of the first and best-loved All-American sweet-hearted family situation comedies. The old time radio show created a loyal audience that were happy to see their show on the "little screen" after hearing it on the radio.

More radio family situation comedies are Blondie, The Aldrich Family, The Life of Riley, Ozzie and Harriet, The Goldbergs, Phil Harris and Alice Faye, The Great Gildersleeve, and Vic and Sade. Of course, couple-type family comedies were on radio, too, such as Burns and Allen, Fibber McGee and Molly, My Favorite Husband, and Easy Aces. And of course, there were some funny singles such as Our Miss Brooks, The Mel Blanc Show, Life with Luigi, Honest Harold and Jack Benny.

    COMMENTS

    I enjoy my mp3s every night. I am an avid listener of old time radio and try to get others to enjoy it too. My 15 year old granddaughter loves Father Knows Best and some of the other family shows. I think it is important to remember how important radio was to America and pass that along to the younger generation.

    NBC debuted Father Knows Best on Thursday night. The program aired for five years. Robert Young played the role of Jim Anderson, the ever patient father. And it continued for many years on television, still starring Robert Young as Jim Anderson.

    The rest of the family included wife Margaret, son Bud and lovely daughters Betty (the eldest) and Kathy. The family lived on Maple Street in Springfield.

    These stories are so cute!

    I adore this radio show. I find it much fresher than the tv show. The writing and characters are sharp and the running gags are hilarious. I found it took me some time to separate this version from the tv series. Once I did, I was able to enjoy it more. And appreciate these situations that don’t have a didactic ending. These are just a messy family being messy. Robert Young’s performance here also doesn’t veer too far away from those of his film career. He often played nice, but irritable. As well as bland and placid. I always preferred him as that frustrated human. Seemed more real. The generation gap plays funnier here to me. And the situations, because they don’t have to be created IRL, are much grander in scope. I really enjoy the saccharine opening, because it feels tongue-in-cheek to me. And I adore the Postum commercials, in particular. Not to ramble on. Just to recommend a listed or to give it another try. I haven’t in a while, but was so surprised when I started listening to the whole series. It was a happy find.

    "Holy cow!"

    I listen to old time radio when ever I can. It reminds me of the simpler times when all was peaceful and we had to use our imaginations. My favorite radio shows were the Christmas episodes

    Daniel Verified Purchase

    I watched this show on my granpa's RCA Victor TV back in 1955-1959 and was entertained by the show .I never realized that it was on radio as our radio must have been tuned to another station at the time. I have listened to the radio show now and enjoy it as much as the TV program. Thumbs Up!

    Carl Verified Purchase

    I loved the tv show and I love the radio program. The stories are so fun.

    Pam Verified Purchase

    Very good radio show. The quality of the recording is very good, and these are a pleasure to listen to! So glad we found this website!

    April Verified Purchase

    Listening to Father Knows Best takes you back to a simpler time. These shows are so good.

    Jim Verified Purchase

    Love this website and the shows it offers. I have bought both seasons of Father Knows Best but learned today there are additional seasons that were broadcast on the radio.
