Maybe he didn't always know best, but begining in 1954 insurance slaesman Jim Anderson (Robert Young) of Springfield, Ohio, was America's favorite head of household.

Father Knows Best premiered on CBS in October 1954 and has been part of the American cultural fabric ever since.

So this is what happens in all the other houses."
