Father Knows Best (1954–1960)
2/10
Good idea, poor execution
6 December 2022
While I am all for a family show depicting a higher level of morals and values (or at least depicting a family striving for those), this show is virtually unwatchable for me for one major reason. These child characters are the most annoying, whiney, melodramatic, overwrought bunch of brats on TV at that time. I really don't care about the actors' real lives, good or bad. It has NOTHING to do with the show and what is on the screen. But, those character/kids...I would give at least momentary thought to mass-murder if they were mine! Everything is a major disaster, a life-ruiner - whine, cry, scream! No, thanks! The writers had a good vehicle, but really overdid it.
