Father Knows Best PROGRAM OF THE WEEK All good things come to those who wait, it says here. Even in TV. After suffering through several seasons of watching so-called normal families caught up in inane situation comedies, patient viewers can now reap their reward. It’s the new Robert Young-Jane Wyatt show. Father Knows Best. In what must herald a first for TV, the Anderson family here portrayed is as normal and true-to-life as that family next door, and the situations that be¬ fall them could happen to anybody. Naturally, Young and his king-size staff (11 writers contribute to the show) take dramatic license occasion¬ ally. The situations may be just a trifle exaggerated for more humor or Willy 1*001- June Havoc. After delaying her entrance into TV on a regular basis “until the right prop¬ erty came along,” she finally took the plunge this season with a situation comedy titled Willy. But if this is the right property, she should have stuck to guest appearances. Willy is so far be¬ neath her already proven talents as a come¬ dienne and actress that it seems a shame to have the show inflicted on her—let alone on the audience. As Willy, Miss Havoc plays a struggling young woman attorney in a small New England town. Her family are all characters straight out of “You Can’t Take It with You.” And the comedy dates Whitfield Connor and June Havoc in Willy. ►
