Transcript

My little 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 Andesans.

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. Once upon a time, there was a popular little jingle that went something like this.

Needles and pins, needles and pins, when a man marries his trouble begins. Well, as my wife will probably tell you, and me, that isn't always the case. Even after his children are born, a man shouldn't figure on more than an average amount of trouble.

It says here, but when a man like Jim Anderson makes a date for his entire family and has to get them all dressed and out of the house at a specific time, brother. That's trouble, like this.

Margaret, for the love of Pete! I'm all finished in the kitchen, dear. You should have finished two hours ago. I told you what Mr. Gribble said. It won't do you any good to show, Jim. I had to put the roast in the oven.

Margaret, do you realize that it's almost one o'clock and I promised Mr. Gribble? It's only 1230. But if he's nice enough to invite us to the tennis matches, as his guest... Hey, Dad! we can do is be ready on time.

We'll be ready on time. Bad. What is it, bud? Did you see my blue sweater? No, I didn't see your blue sweater. Did you look in your top drawer, dear? No. Well, look in it.
