Father Knows Best @ Thanksgiving - YouTube


Love of country and God and our religious freedom. Seems we are going in the other direction to our detriment. I miss "Father Knows Best" all the men on TV comedies now are goofballs. Sad.


WASHINGTON, DC (CNSNews.com) - On Thanksgiving week in 1954, NBC aired a holiday-themed "Father Knows Best" that ended with the family praying before their meal, including thanking God "for the privilege of living as free men in a country which respects our freedom and our personal rights to worship and think and speak as we choose."
The Nov. 21, 1954 show featured the Anderson family: Jim and Margaret and their three children, Betty, Bud and Kathy.

In the program, the family decided to forgo a Thanksgiving meal because of scheduling conflicts. But in the end, the parents and children decide that sitting down to a Thanksgiving meal together is the best way to celebrate.

A program such as that does not fit the totalitarian Marxist ethos this country has adopted, so no, I can't imagine seeing something like that on TV in this day and age.

What we will see is Joe 6 Pack chomping on Doritos, guzzling miller lite, and high fiving his buddies as they watch grown men prance around in tights at a sports bar.

That is the new "Western Man".

Thankfully, them good ol' boys down south and the frontiersmen out West do not fit that mold and are self-reliant and independent. Keep it up boys, don't let this culture corrupt you and your families.

Leave it to Beaver and Father knows best didn't exist in reality.

Give me the honeymooners and the three stooges, TV to last the ages.

Love of God and country does not have to wait for the 4th to be expressed. It can be expressed everyday, especially at Christmas.

Secularism stinks. No love of tradition or holidays.

Of course you can see those old shows again.

They're probably avialiable from netflix or amazon.

That's it!

Television networks broadcast programming that is popular and maximizes advertising sales because they're... [drum roll] ...Marxist!

Brilliant...

They are on Nickelodeon. Some parents only watch that channel anymore so their kids don't have to watch trash.

I grew up in the 80's.

And every person I know who grew up in the 50's and 60's talks about reality, and it wasn't what you saw on TV.

BTW, I'm not sorry for how I grew up. I grew up a lot more stable and in a lot better way then a lot of folks. I have a close knit family, but it isn't "Father knows best"
