Like "Ozzie and Harriet" and "Leave it to Beaver," "Father Knows Best" (CBS/NBC) was a quintessentially '50s show. Robert Young and Jane Wyatt played Jim and Margaret Anderson, the loving yet appropriately stern parents of young Betty, Bud and Kathy. Shows like "Father Knows Best" reflected a nuclear family ideal in which Dad works, Mom stays home, and the kids are raised with honest "American" values.
