All 32 Uncut Episodes Robert Young stars as Jim Anderson in the final season of the television classic Father Knows Best. With Bud chasing girls, Betty off at college and Kathy nearing high school graduation, Jim and Margaret have their hands full in Season Six. Lucky for them, the father who knows best still has a wealth of good advice to impart to the Anderson clan. Throughout the previous five seasons, we've watched Betty, Bud and Kathy grow up under the watchful eye of the best in the business. A lot has changed through the years, but the loving relationships are still much the same.

Title: Always good and funny
Review: It takes us back to a day when TV actually promoted good behavior and a better America. They now thrive on trash and lowering stanedards. It was also back when they portrayed men as good, intelligent and worthy fathers and husbands. These are role models we should aspire to in many ways and the mother loves being a mother, not desiring to be the father. Wonderful. I had such parents and I was such a mother. Nice shows. Fun to watch!

Title: Best Season Yet!
Review: Unfortunately, this was the last year (1960) that new episodes of FKB were produced. It was so popular with the public, that reruns were shown in PRIMETIME through 1963.This last year has some of the finest, and most moving episodes, of all the years.In an era where TV show represented fathers as clowns, mothers as opionionless servants and children as stereotypical robots, with all families as white and no home having a bathroom, ha; Father Knows Best daringly broke out of the mold and and presented American families of the time (and even to a degree now) with an attempt at realism that we did not often see.It addresses issues, that other shows dared not approach, and would not have been permitted to by networks in the lates fifties and sixties. For example, in one episode a Caucasian family adopts a Korean boy. This family submits a picture and wins a contest for the ideal happy American family. With the moral being that the typical U.S. family does not have to be of a homogeneous race and white. Almost unbelievable that this flew under the radar of the censors of the day.In another episode, "Fronk" the Mexican garderner was selected to present an award to the mayor. However, city officials were doing everything in their power to prevent this, due to Frank's race and economic (lower) class. However, Jim forces the issue and Fronk presents the award. Moral being that race, color and class are irrelevant as we are all citizens of the U.S. As usual the writers and directors of FTB knew how to sneak by the bigotry of the network brass of the day. Morals were presented to the audience that just weren't getting out there in other shows.In an earlier season, a girl from India (actually portrayed by Rita Moreno of latin descent) stays with the Andersons and even sleeps in the same bedroom as Betty. In the fifties dark skinned individuals were rarely even seen on television, let alone staying in the home and even the same bedroom as white people. Had Father Knows Best stayed on the air, I would bet anything it would have been the first television show to have a African-American in an episode. At the time, the censors would have nixed the episode unless the black person were a servant (As in the Danny Thomas Show) or a buffoon (as in Amos and Andy).There was never a show on television that did such an accurate representation of middle class working America. The dialogue was realistic (right on target actually) and many of the situations that the episodes were built around were almost (unbelievably)identical with ones that my own family had while I was growing up in the fifties and early sixties.Yes, there occasionally was some farce, after all it was a comedy TV show made to entertain. But any show that still holds up for sixty years, has something going for it. Look at today's sitcoms. No semblance of reality whatsoever. Actors (if you can call them that) stand around and throw each other smart-alec one liners. With the writers doing nothing more than trying to get cheap laughs.There is no connections with the way people really interact. Now yes, there are some shows that are exceptions. But with FKB, maybe not every episode hit it right off with a totally plausible situation. But even then you didn't have too stretch your imagination too far. And the interaction and diaglogue between the characters was realistic and caught the true dynamics of a family. With fights, jealously, greed and sibling rivalry being honestly portrayed. Maybe someone lives in a totally dysfunctional family, or has diovrced parents or lives with realtives or is homeless. Well Father Knows Best was not about that. It was written about a middle class family that wasn't totally dusfunctional or had drunk parents or divorced parents. That just wasn't what is was supposed to be about.For those people in situations like that, FTB was a role model or mentor, that showed that there are people in this world who are not dysfunction. And it shows the viewer, that yes. There are times when we can work out our problems with each other. Sometimes by compromising, even when we don't want to. Most of all the show told us there is a consequence to our actions. Even thought none of us want there to be. It shows us there can be another way. At least something to strive for.I had once email one of the actors of FTW, Billy Gray, who portrayed Bud. He is quite proud of his work on FTW (as well as in Day the Earth Stood Still.), as well he should be! He is an impecable actor. HIs life was not exactly typical middle class American, and he has had some very unfortunate events in his personal life. Yet due to his great prowess as an actor he is able to very convincingly portray the character of Bud in Father Knows Best. (BTW, Billy is a expert and award winning motorcycle racer today).All of the actors in FKB are to be commended for their abilities in realistic acting that has stood the test of time as has the show itself.By all means, buy this, and all of the seasons of Father Knows Best. They are the "Feel Good" winners of American television!

Title: Family-friendly with positive role models
Review: This is the last season of this wonderful show. I'm pleased to have the entire series in my library. Robert Young, Jane Wyatt, and the rest of the cast did a wonderful job of depicting life in the 50s.
