Transcript

Is Maxwell House really the only coffee in the 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. The coffee that's bought and enjoyed by more people than any other brand of coffee at any price. Maxwell House, always good to the last drop. Slap a bunch of poets together, and at least one thing is bound to emerge, a new definition of love.

In one of his flossier moments, Shakespeare wrote, Love is a smoke raised with a few of size, which is very nice if you go in for that sort of thing. The Messers, Thurber, and White, on the other hand, viewed the emotion with a more practical eye.

love they said is the strange bewilderment which overtakes one person on account of another person. In Springfield and the White Frame House on Maple Street, the Andesans probably have ideas of their own on this ethereal subject. Like, well, like this. I think I'll have a little more rice. Would you mind passing it, Betty? Yes, Father. Jim. Honey, let's not start that

business about rice being fattening, it isn't. Well, you were the one who said that you're Wacelaw. Margaret Rice is not fattening. It's the stuff you put on it. Like butter. You put butter on anything, it's fattening.

But have you ever seen me put butter on my rice? No, dear. You darn right, you haven't. Kathy, please pass the gravy. Now that you've mentioned it, what's wrong with my waistline? I haven't gained a pound in 20 years.
