Transcript

Mother is Maxwell House the best coffee in the whole world? Well, your father says so, and your father knows best. Yes, it's Father Knows Best, transcribed in Hollywood starring Robert Young as father. A half hour visit with your neighbors the Anderson's, brought to you by Maxwell House.
