FATHER KNOWS BEST - THE COMPLETE SERIES + 2 EXCLUSIVE BONUS DISCS (CBS 1954-1955/NBC 1955-1958/CBS 1958-1960) EXCELLENT!!! RETAIL QUALITY!!! Robert Young, Jane Wyatt, Elinor Donahue, Billy Gray, Lauren Chapin

Step back into the golden age of television with one of the most beloved family sitcoms of all time. Father Knows Best captures the warmth, humor, and timeless values of 1950s American family life, starring Robert Young as Jim Anderson — the sensible, compassionate father who always seems to have just the right advice.

Alongside his devoted wife Margaret (Jane Wyatt) and their three children — Betty (Elinor Donahue), Bud (Billy Gray), and Kathy (Lauren Chapin) — Jim navigates the joys and challenges of everyday life in the small town of Springfield. Whether it’s handling teenage troubles, family squabbles, or simple lessons in kindness and responsibility, the Andersons show that love and understanding are the true foundations of home.

Originally airing from 1954 to 1960, this Emmy Award-winning series remains a cherished classic, offering a nostalgic look at mid-century America with stories that still resonate today.

Featuring beautifully restored episodes and exclusive bonus features, this complete collection is a must-have for classic TV fans and families alike.

Father Knows Best was so popular that when production ended, it continued on the primetime TV network schedule for the next three years (no other TV show in history has done that), and then ran another five years (until 1967) on ABC's daytime line-up.

Rediscover why generations have turned to Father Knows Best for comfort, laughter, and timeless life lessons — where every problem has a solution, and every home is filled with heart.
