"Father Knows Best" depicted the all-American family as we wanted it to be. The kids fought with each other, but loved each other, and mom and dad kept them on the straight and narrow. All six seasons are on DVD and I have them all. What a stark contrast to the kind of programming on TV today!
It always made me question what was wrong with my family. Nothing like FKB. What a relief later on to find out that Father was an raging out-of-control alcoholic. Almost made my family seem normal.
I don't think it's coincidence that "The Simpsons" is also set in Springfield. After all, "The Simpsons" is just "Father Knows Best" set on its ear. Matt Groening, I am sure had that in mind.
