Father Knows Best was an American radio and television comedy series which portrayed a middle class family life in the Midwest. It was created by writer Ed James in the 1940s, and ran on radio from 1949 to 1954 and on television from 1954 to 1960.
Only Robert Young remained of the radio cast when the series moved to CBS Television:
James "Jim" Anderson, Sr. – Robert Young
Margaret Anderson – Jane Wyatt
Betty "Princess" Anderson – Elinor Donahue
James "Bud" Anderson, Jr. – Billy Gray
Kathy "Kitten" Anderson – Lauren Chapin
The series began on CBS on October 3, 1954. Originally sponsored by Lorillard's Kent cigarettes in its first season, Scott Paper Company became the primary sponsor when the series moved to NBC in the fall of 1955, remaining as sponsor even after it moved back to CBS in September 1958, with Lever Brothers as an alternate sponsor from 1957 through 1960. A total of 203 episodes were produced, running until September 17, 1960, and appearing on all three of the television networks of the time, including prime-time repeats from September 1960 through April 1963.

I forgot to thank you for this series. Robert Young was always a favorite of mine from the radio series to tv and the Marcus Welby MD tv series as well. Thank you.
