Maybe he
didn't always know best, but insurance salesman Jim Anderson of
Springfield, Ohio, was America's favorite head of household. Father
Knows Best premiered on CBS in October 1954 and has been part of the
American cultural fabric ever since. Every week families gathered
around the television set to join Jim, Margaret, "Princess", "Bud"
and "Kitten" as everyone's favorite 50's family.
