Transcript

Now listen to Father Knows Best transcribed starring Robert Young as Father. Welcome to Springfield and another half hour visit with the folks in the White Brain House on Maple Street. Sit back and enjoy life with the Anderson's, Kathy, Bud, Betty, Margaret and Jim.

As the head of this typical American household again sets out to prove that Father Knows Best. According to an old philosopher named Bo V, who I've never heard of, heard of, it is seldom that we find out how great our resources are until we are thrown upon them. A firm exponent of this sage viewpoint of self-reliance is one Jim

Anderson. However, little did Jim suspect what was ahead of him this noon when Margaret confronted him at the door for the telegram. Like this. The telegram from your folks you say? Anything wrong, Margaret? Oh no, they're moving. Dad says they have to leave He's been transferred to Omaha.

Oh. Honey, why are there never any hangers in this hall closet? I can't find any place to hang my coat. Dad says they're moving right away. I've been hanging my coat on a hook so long everyone thinks I have a pointed spine.

Jim, how long has it since you've been back to Toledo? Oh, I don't know. Long time. Well, you ought to enjoy the trip then. Yes, it would be very... Wait a minute. Enjoy what trip?

Well, they want you to come to Toledo. I'm not going to help them move. All they want you to do is look over all that stuff we have stored in their basement. Tell them what we want to keep and what we want to throw away.
