Lessons from TV Dads

Father Knows Best

Jim Anderson ran what appeared to be a perfect household. He had a hot wife, a son and two daughters. These kids didn't have any major problems. They got out of his way when he had to sell insurance.

Lesson Learned from TV Dad

Bud and Kitten had major problems after the show went off the air. Princess went on to marry Sheriff Andy Taylor, but then dumped him, ran off to New York City to be a semi-platonic gal to Felix Unger. His kids didn't come off as completely stable with Jim's life lessons being anchors.

The only time Jim showed his real face is the legendary "24 Hours in Tyrantland" when he teaches the kids a harsh lesson of living in a Soviet style state. Maybe if he traumatized the kids more, they would have been as upright as him.
