What happens
The Andersons are planning a Christmas party for the Springfield Country Club, and Jim Anderson is the club's president. Bud, Joe and their friends are rehearsing songs for a gay 90s theme, but Jim has doubts about it and may call the party off. Meanwhile, Kathy has pushed Brad Hathaway into a bathtub and refuses to apologize, and Jim and Margaret argue over the party committee's decisions and whether Lucille Hathaway has interfered. Father Knows Best is a family comedy series starring Robert Young as Jim Anderson, and this episode was broadcast on December 13, 1951.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
