Product Description:
Robert Young returns to the head of the dinner table to play the patriarch of America s most beloved family in Season Two of Father Knows Best.
During Season Two a growing number of families were tuning in to see what kind of trouble Bud (Billy Gray) was going to get into next, how Kathy (Lauren Chapin) was handling growing up, whether Betty (Elinor Donahue) and her boyfriend would breakup and how Margaret (Jane Wyatt) would inevitably hold the family together. A day in the life of the Andersons was a 1950s suburban dream come true.

The Teacher From Robert Young s very next TV series, Window On Main Street
Robert Young Pilot: Stagecoach To Yuma (12/7/1955)

Rating: - Season Two looks great!
Season Two arrived today. I watched the episode Kathy Makes Magic. Its great. Uncut with fine video and audio. Much improved over the quality of Season One. As many times as I've seen this episode it was a real treat seeing scenes I'd never seen before.
Rating: - Father Knows Best - Season 2 (unedited? We can hope)!
I used to watch this every morning & again late afternoons during the mid 1980s on The CBN Cable Network which was a channel that once showcased the finest vintage sitcoms ever.
I watched Bachelor Father, Dobie Gillis & Father Knows Best everyday & had my video machine going to put 'em all on tape. As a result I've got loads of Father Knows Best episodes & have even transferred some to DVD as the show hadn't been yet made available on DVD, so my homemade DVDs were something to tide me over anyway.
I'm very pleased to see the series finally get the DVD treatment. I, like some of the others am displeased & think it unfortunate that some of these are syndicated prints. However, as this is a true rarity & has been scarce in rerun markets over the years, I'll gladly take the first & second season & every & any additional seasons that become available in the future. Episodes of Father Knows Best in any DVD offering, syndicated and/or otherwise is better than not having it in any form at all. Sure, I'd love having the completely unedited prints same as many others who have griped about this, but if the syndicated are the majority of prints available in this set, then so be it. They will due until some distributor makes the unedited ones available. For the time being, I'm satisfied.
Some of my favorite episodes were the one where Kathy played a sleuth to unravel a mystery, the one where Kathy is a real tomboy & in the closing ... Read More
Rating: - Beautiful presentation! Unedited episodes & great bonus features
Here it is: the best season (in my opinion) of FATHER KNOWS BEST, with a wonderful DVD release. Every episode is complete, from the opening titles right through the "Screen Gems" logo at the end. They run close to 26 minutes each!
Video and audio quality is excellent. A few episodes even include the original sponsor cards during the opening/closing credits.
Why is this the best season? Everything clicks here: acting, writing, direction, music -- the sometimes silly storylines that permeated the first half of the first season are gone, and this second season more than builds on the momentum of the end of the first season (when the show was starting to get a lot more interesting).
Lots & lots of classic episodes here, including:
* "Advantage to Betty" (Betty doesn't play tennis as well as the team champ, but gets more attention from the press because she's prettier)
* "Persistent Guest" (Bud's homeless friend visits and won't leave)
* "Family Reunion" (No one wants to go to Margaret's family's reunion -- except Margaret)
* "Father, the Naturalist" (Kathy loses her Little Squaws nature folder in the woods)
There are very nice bonus features, too: a "flashback" episode from the final season, another episode of "Window on Main Street," more interviews with Elinor Donahue and Lauren Chapin, and the long-missing "Stage to Yuma" Western episode that fans have been seeking for years.

Rating: - You'll Love this DVD Set
I help maintain the fatherknowsbest.com website, and i just want to stop the uncertainity whether or not the season 2 dvds are complete. They are complete with each episode running about 26 minutes. There are no music alterations (like they did to "the Fugitive" or "My Three Sons".) The Screen Gems logo is on the ending credits, and some episodes have the sponsor opening and closing credits, things true fans love to see. The episodes came from uncut masters from the Sony Vaults. It is 50 years old, and originally was on film, so you will get the occasional specks that film has, but the overall picture is so sharp you can actually see the nail marks on some walls! This DVD set is about as close to perfection as you can get. (Minor flaws: the expanded version of "First Disillusionment" doesn't have the opening credits, and they used 1st season episode photos in the menus of the DVDs). For most everyone who watched the series in the past 25 years, we only got 22 minutes of each episode, so to see the full 26 minutes is a real treat! Definitely get this!
