Father Knows Best
Otac zna najbolje je portretisao porodicu koja je bila iznenađujuće slična stvarnim ljudima. Roditelji su uspeli da prebrode skoro svaku porodičnu situaciju bez nasilnog povređivanja svog dostojanstva, a troje Andersonovih mladića predstavljeni su kao deca pristojnog ponašanja koja poštuju i vole svoje roditelje. Novinski kritičar u to vreme je napisao da je „Džim Anderson možda prvi inteligentni otac kome je dozvoljeno da bude na televiziji otkako su oni izmislili tu stvar”.
