Father Knows Best: Season One (1954)

Father Knows Best Season One

I have been waiting years for this series to come out, and now it has. With so little wholesome, family oriented programing on TV, it's nice to go back to a kinder, gentler, decent time. I watched it when it was on TV and I'm happy to walk down memory lane and see it again now. I hope they continue to come out with all the seasons, I think it went for five or six seasons. If you liked shows like Donna Reed, I love Lucy, and Leave it to Beaver, you'll love this one. Good for children of "all" ages! July 29, 2008

love the oldies ....

Love, love, love these dvds! I love the black and white shows. The entire family can sit down and enjoy the shows together. July 26, 2008

NOT NEARLY AS BAD A SOME HAVE REVIEWED!

OK, I know we all like pristine picture and sound on every DVD released, but I'm glad to have this show in any form at this point. This "oldie but goodie's" release was so long over due, it's was getting to the point where I thought I'd never see it!

I watched some of the first disc and I can tell you this, the episodes look better than they looked on TV in many years! The sound....well it's not all that great, but this show is quite old and it's not all 'that bad'. As for edited episodes, I can't remember the episodes that well to remember, but I haven't noticed anything missing so far. Although the fade out breaks seemed slightly rushed.

The set has some cool extra stuff too, so if you want to wait forever for a release that probably won't see the light of day...fine, but for those of us who want to enjoy the show now...buy it! It looks better than any of the Ozzie & Harriet series releases. Jim, Margret, Princess, Bud and Kitten haven't looked this good in years! July 22, 2008

Father Knows Best Season One

I would have liked to know that this DVD was not made from the original tapes, but from the TVLand or Nick at Night chopped up airings of the show. Sometimes the scene is cut in mid-sentence (apparently where they had placed a commercial.) It's a great show and I love it, but this DVD set is very poor quality July 14, 2008

Father Knows Best but not this time

I have been waiting for years for Father Knows Best to come out in DVD so I was excited to finally see it released. The show is great but as others have mentioned the product itself is poorly edited. The episodes are not complete!!!!!! Very disappointing. July 14, 2008
