54 years later Father still Knows Best

I need some Shelley Fabares and Paul Petersen on DVD!

I used to bathe with my father. He always told me not to tell, but I guess it's ok to say it now.

The charming Elinor Donahue is on "The Frank DeCaro Show" now being interviewed for the DVD.

BTW she is very funny playing Miriam Welby [get the joke?] on THE ODD COUPLE as Felix's girlfriend.

Me TOO !

I think "Father Knows Best" is one of the best of the 50's family sitcoms. The title was not always true of the episode of the week - Father was sometimes wrong - sometimes Mother or even one of the kids knew best. I especially liked the character of the son, Bud. He was often the butt of jokes, but his dignity was intact, and the part was so well-acted by Billy Gray. That guy should have had a bigger career. I did read somewhere that he was actually cast in "Rebel Without a Cause" but the producers of FKB wouldn't shoot around him for the movie's filming, so he couldn't do it. (No doubt, a real impossibility at the time.)

I love this show and Donna Reed.
