Too Many Problems

Mother 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 his father. A half hour visit with your neighbors the Anderson's brought to you by America's favorite coffee, Maxwell House.

The coffee that's always good to the last drop. In every week there are seven days. In every day there are 24 hours. In every hour there are 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds. That's a lot of time, isn't it?

Time enough to do almost anything. Unless of course you happen to be a father. If you're a father like Jim Anderson, there's never enough time. Never enough minutes or hours or days. That's why as a conscientious father, you're forced to take steps like this.

And so, gentlemen of the Springfield Service Club, let's take a look at the record. Let's put a microscope on the past year and see exactly how much cooperation I ever see. Jim. Honey, if you're going to keep interrupting me, I'd...
