Father Knows Best

Bongos??? Bongos for Bud??? I don't think so....the next thing you know, Bud will become a beatnik....going around saying "coolsville", "man", "dig", etc. Heavens to Maynard G. Krebs! He'll start to wear old sweatshirts & a beret...and grow a goatee! I shudder at the thought! I say they should have sent him over to stay with Ricky & David at Ozzie & Harriet's house, having fun drinking malts & drawing moustaches on photos of President Eisenhower in the newspaper.  Good clean fun!

Boy been there done that. I became a very proficient guitarist though and ended up playing in bands and traveling. Changed my life.

well we had the onion field killings then that nasty stuff that capote wrote about. we put to death the isenburgs or whatever their names were, the couple accussed of being spys. not an entirely great decade.

this was one of my favorite re runs. it used to come on the mornings in the 70s. i was in the 5th grade and loved the show, still do. poor robert young suffered from horrble addiction the "cathy" drug addicted and selling herself to men show was NOT reality for sure.

I can't believe this when I read your comment, b/c I thought the very same thing! We SURE didn't have paper towels in those days either.

look again. there are paper towels hanging next to sink AND stove clearly visible in each scene.

I meant at my house we didn't have paper towels,and I was surprised to see that paper towels actually existed in the 50;s. At my house it wasn't until the 60'snthat we got them. Maybe only rich ppl. had them in the 50's.

oh i see, well it is still an interesting trivia question. given the price of them maybe rich people are still the only ones with them today!

The show was sponsored by the Scott Paper Company. Maybe that has something to do with it. (Reading a book in class - 'Connections: A Broadcast History Reader - Michele Hilmes').

now find out who sponsored the donna reed show, dobie gillis and the adventures of ozzie and harriet. nabisco sponsored the patty duke show so we're good there. we will establish a pattern here.
