原題 Father Knows Best
1958年8月から1964年3月にかけて日本テレビ系で放映
モノクロ 30分 6シーズン 全203話
1954年〜1960年 アメリカ CBS制作
スプリングフィールドに住む典型的中流家庭アンダーソン一家を舞台にした、明るくユーモラスなホームドラマ。
アイゼンハワー時代のアメリカ人家族の理想像を表現した番組。
アメリカで1954年に放送が開始されたが、視聴率が全く振るわなかったので、CBSは1955年3月にこのシリーズを打ち切ったところ、視聴者から抗議が殺到したため、放送時間を早めて再会することになる。これが大ヒットにつながった。
良くも悪くも当時のアメリカ人一般の価値観を体現しているとも言える(たとえば、全話通じて黒人が一人も登場しない)。
第二次世界大戦がようやく終わったと思ったらソ連との冷戦が始まり、核戦争による人類滅亡という現実の危険への反動からか、平和な家族というものが特に視聴者から歓迎されたのではないかとも言われている。
1957年から1960年にかけてエミー賞の各部門賞を6回受賞している(ノミネートは20回)。
