Dad Knows Best was a situation comedy built around the Anderson family members and life about Maple Street in the fictitious Midwestern town of Springfield. Robert Adolescent starred as Jim Anderson, mind of family members, hubby of Margaret, and an insurance guy by occupation. The couple experienced three children. The weekly radio script, about Dad Knows Greatest, Vol. 1 although performed for laughs, provided words of knowledge and “dishes for domestic pleasure” that American households could recognize with. Jim’s understanding wife Margaret was the picture of domesticity as mother to Betty (aged eighteen), Bud (sixteen), and Kathy (ten).

Father Knows Best premiered in radio in 1949 and lasted until 1954 when it produced its Television debut. For the radio present, Margaret was performed by June Whitely and Jean Vander Pyle (best known for supplying the tone of voice of Wilma in the animated series The Flintstones), Betty was played by Rhoda Williams, Bud by Ted Donaldson, and Kathy by Norma Jean Nilsson.
