Robert Young starred as Jim Anderson, head of the household, husband of Margaret, and an insurance man by occupation. The couple had three children. The weekly radio script, although played for laughs, offered words of wisdom and ""recipes for domestic happiness"" that American families could identify with.

Father Knows Best premiered on radio in 1949 and lasted until 1954 when it made its TV debut. For the radio show, Margaret was played by June Whitely and Jean Vander Pyle (best known for supplying the voice of Wilma in the animated series The Flintstones), Betty was played by Rhoda Williams, Bud by Ted Donaldson, and Kathy by Norma Jean Nilsson. 9/6/51 - ""Saving Money to Buy a Boat""9/27/51 - ""Billiard Table""10/11/51 - ""Birthday Present""10/18/51 - ""Gossip""11/1/51 - ""Neckties""11/15/51 - ""The Music Business""11/29/51 - ""Meteor""12/6/51 - ""Attic Auction""1/31/52 - ""An Evening Out""2/14/52 - ""Valentine Party""3/13/52 - ""Flowers and Candy""5/1/52 - ""My Name is Sam""5/8/52 - ""Kathy's Twin Sister""5/22/52 - ""Car Troubles""5/29/52 - ""Sorting Through an Old Trunk""6/5/52 - ""Aunt Ethel""
