What happens
Jim Anderson tries to work at home on dictation while his children and wife keep interrupting him. A new family moves in next door, and the Anderson children take turns watching them from the window. Betty Anderson, a teenager, becomes eager to meet the new boy, Fred Tibbets, and her attempts to attract his attention are noticed by the whole household. Her brother Bud then tells Fred that Betty wants to meet him, and the family finds itself in turmoil over Betty's changing feelings. Father Knows Best is a radio comedy series, and this episode aired on January 15, 1953, starring Robert Young as Jim Anderson.

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.
