The Film Detective Is Celebrating Film Loving Fathers And Grandfathers In Honor Of Father's Day

A Special Announcement From The Film Detective:

Happy Father's Day from The Film Detective! This weekend, we're celebrating film loving fathers and grandfathers in honor of Father's Day. We know that the world's best Dads deserve the world's best TV marathons, so we're bringing 8 hours of Father Knows Best (1954-1960) to The Film Detective, this Sunday at 10:25AM ET!

From Radio to Television We're heading to the town of Springfield, home of Jim Anderson, his wife Margaret, and their children, Betty, Bud, and Kathy.  From the far more sarcastic radio program to the small screen, only Robert Young remained from the cast of the radio program by the time the sitcom launched on CBS in 1954. Young would be joined by Jane Wyatt, Elinor Donahue, Billy Gray, and Lauren Chapin.

The Andersons Take the Emmys Building the mold for the American sitcom family of the era, Father Knows Best took home six Emmy awards in its six seasons and over two hundred episodes, including three Emmy awards for Jane Wyatt and two for Robert Young.  Seventeen years after the conclusion of the series, the Anderson family returned to households for two TV reunion specials in 1977.

Fellow Fathers Share the Screen! Robert Young as Jim Anderson would not be the only legendary TV Dad to appear on Father Knows Best.  The show also had multiple guest appearances from familiar fatherly faces, including Herbert Anderson who played Henry Mitchell in Dennis the Menace (1959-1963) and Robert Reed, famous for his portrayal of Mike Brady in The Brady Bunch (1969-1974).

Join us on Sling TV, Plex, DistroTV, and more for The Film Detective's Father's Day marathon this Sunday, June 20, at 10:25AM ET or stream Father Knows Best anytime on The Film Detective app.  WATCH FATHER KNOWS BEST
