Mother, is Maxwell House really the only coffee in the world? Well, your father says so, and your father knows best. Yes, its father knows best. Transcribed in Hollywood, starring Robert Young as father. A half hour visit with your neighbors the Andesans, brought to you by America's favorite coffee, Maxwell House.
The coffee that's always good to the last drop. It was Oscar Wilde who said, children begin by loving their parents. As they grow older, they judge them. Sometimes they forgive them. There in a very small nutshell is the very foundation of what has become probably the least important of all American celebrations.
Father's Day. Now you may think that Father's Day is merely a time for the presentation of neckties that Your father won't wear socks that father can't use or books that father has time to read.
But in Springfield, in the White Frame House on Maple Street, the Andesans have an entirely different conception of the day, like this. Jumping creepers, why does it have to be on Sunday? Betty, I think that's a very selfish attitude.
After all your father is done for you. But I'm gonna buy him a necktie. Why can't we just polish the car or something? I don't mind spending Father's Day with Daddy. You keep out of this.
Daddy? Well, she doesn't have anything else to do anyway. I do too. I can do lots of things. Mother, I have a date with Dick Andrews, and I'll have to break it. Why can't we just polish the car or something?
I can go over to Patties and Slay, or I can look at Jimmy Woody's television. Kathy, we're going to devote the entire day to your father. I know. The Betty said I didn't have any place else to go, and I do, because I can go over to Patties and play, or I can mother.
