Father Knows Best-2 Episodes From 1950 STEREO Father Knows Best was one of a slew of American middle class family sitcoms in which moms were moms, kids were kids, and fathers knew best.The brainchild of producer Eugene Rodney and series star Robert Young (who played insurance salesman Jim Anderson), Father Knows Best debuted as a radio sitcom in 1949. In the radio version the title ended with a question mark, suggesting that father's role as family leader was dubious. The series was transplanted to television in 1954 where it ran until 1963, appearing at various times on each of the three US networks.
