Anyone remember an animated sitcom in the early 70's called "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home"? It was around 1973/74, and featured the voice of Tom Bosley as a father who was dealing with his kids growing up--it was patterned after the success of All in the Family. It even featured Jack Burns as a hardcore right-wing type who was looking out for "commie-plots." It touched on some controversial things like Archie Bunker and them were trying to do.

That show was the answer to a question on Jeopardy! a few days ago.

I remember this animated sitcom, which ran for two years in prime access syndication. There was one episode where daughter Alice bought a see-through dress and Harry lost his temper. Even memorable was the opening theme song which contained the line "Wait till your father gets..until your father gets...wait till your father gets home."

That was the first episode I ever saw. I thought, wow, what a cool show!! :lol:

I loved this show! I wish it was still airing somewhere. The last I saw it, it was on Comedy Central or Cartoon Network....I forget which one.

I loved the intro with the house's roof pops up momentarily once the father gets inside.

Wasn't that "My World And Welcome To It"? With father's voice of William Windom and the girl that played "Bess" on MTM (sorry - can't remember her real name) who voiced the daughter?

He was supposed to be a cartoonist for a newspaper or something. Never really liked it much. :confused:

End of Wait Til Your Father Gets Home intro

I remember this animated sitcom, which ran for two years in prime access syndication. There was one episode where daughter Alice bought a see-through dress and Harry lost his temper. Even memorable was the opening theme song which contained the line "Wait till your father gets..until your father gets...wait till your father gets home."


That episode was the original pilot (if animated shows can have pilots :lol: ) which aired on Love American Style, which lead to the series. Loved the show wish it would come out on DVD. :wave:

The neighbor was great, he was an anti-communist, and the little old lady that was in his group.

Theme song:

I love my mom and dad
and my brothers too
and the groovy way we
get along

Everytime the slightest thing
goes wrong, Mom starts to
sing this familiar song

Wait till your father gets
until your father gets,
wait till your father gets home

Moms not so bad and she
seldom gets mad, and the
odds about to desert her
Kids today like to have their
own way, and what daddy
doesn't know won't hurt him

I think my mom's just swell
till she starts to yell, everytime
we have a fuss
just wait till your father gets
until your father gets
wait till your father gets home

we know.......

No sure if I got it right. :lol: :crazy: ;) :p :D

Hi All....I loved 'Wait Until Your Father Gets Home'. Cartoon Network used to air it late nights before they started the Adult Swim toons. I'd love to see this show back on soon.

I posted this same thread over a week ago. Anyway, click the link below to listen to the theme song:

no, "My World and Welcome to it" was a short-lived live-action sitcom in 1969 or 70 on NBC. "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home" was on ABC.

If u dont have like a dish in some areas, u would not know about Boomerang so that might be why they didnt know about it... I wish we would get it here too.

I will be FIRST in line to GET THE WHOLE THING FROM YOU!:D

I notice TimeWarner owns it...since Timewarner took over our cable company two weeks ago, maybe they may add it to our line-up soon or ON DEMAND. *irene crosses her fingers*

The only Boomerang I get is on demand...I don't get the regular cable channel. Hopefully some episodes will be up there.

I guess I am lucky then, I have it on two channels for some reason, I have a regular one and then a spanish one, but both are in English so I don't know why I have two.

Look out Irene, I'll send you a copy when its done.

I have never actually seen it, but I have been wanting to for a while. I know Tom Bosley is in it.

Oh God yes!!!! I remember watching it back in the 70's. I thought, this cartoon is very weird, different, and one hell of a funny show. It definitely was waaaay ahead of its time. I am excited that Matt is going to record it. I really love this show, it's right up there with Family Guy.

...(which was originally pitched to ABC) appeared on "LOVE, AMERICAN STYLE" as the segment "Love and The Old-Fashioned Father", in January 1972[as part of Hanna-Barbera's deal with Paramount to release their theatrical feature "Charlotte's Web" in '73]. When their pilot episode was rejected by ABC as a weekly series, H-B decided to syndicate the show themselves (through their corporate parent Taft Broadcasting, and Worldvision Enterprises), picking up General Motors' Chevrolet division as a national sponsor {that's why there's a car prominently featured in the opening title}, and distributed the show to local stations [including New York's WNBC-TV] beginning in the fall of 1972. It lasted two seasons, and 48 episodes.

I remember that. LOVE, AMERICAN STYLE was a fun show to watch.

Just a friendly reminder to everyone it starts tomorrow at 3:30-4:00 AM w. I got my DVDR set up already!

Thanks for The Remineing us about My Wife and Kids weeknight's at 2:30 am Central Time

If anyone can copy this for me I would be interested.

:)

The neighbor was great, he was an anti-communist, and the little old lady that was in his group.

Did you see a movie produced by Norman Lear called "Cold Turkey" about people trying to quit smoking? Starring Dick van Dyke and Pippa Scott. and many actors from Norman Lear's TV shows, and other TV favs--Jean Stapleton, Tom Poston, Barnard Hughs, ...
I loved the movie! At the time, I was amazed to hear the word "bull****!" from the little old lady "Oldie Truman" ( played by the woman who played the grandma on the "Phyllis" show ( spin-off of Cloris Leachman's character on Mary Tyler Moore ). In one scene, she points a gun at one fellow, saying "I think he looks like a Communist!" ( in fact, he was the villain --an employee, maybe a PR of the Tobacco company who was putting up the money for the prize for the first town that could quit smoking --the town of Eagle Rock did so well, that this fellow sneaked in, with a lot of cigarettes to tempt the townsfolk. )

The old lady was dressed the same as the cartoon character, only her male cohort was the fellow who played Charlie Haggars on Mary Hartman, Graham Jarvis.
Judith Lowry was the woman's name. I think she must have provided the voice for the cartoon character. I couldn't find it on the imbd site.


http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0523337/

Jack Burns' character referred to the group as "my vigilante group."

Someone in a previous post said that William Windom was
the dad...
Actually, it was Tom Bosley, who was actually quite lucky the
show wasn't a huge hit as bigger things awaited him two
years later.
Kristina Holland, formerly of COURTSHIP OF EDDIE'S FATHER
provided the voice for Alice.

If anyone is interested I have all 48 episodes on Dvd with cases and art for sale. It took 12 years to collect every episode as they do not release some episodes for years so it very difficult to collect even 30 episodes. Email me @ united-dream@hotmail.com and I will give you a fair price for them.:)

Can someone please clear this up? I just got Boomerang a month ago, starting recording those episodes, only to find out that they're just cycling through season 1 eps over and over. With the official season one release coming out, I'd be interested at this point in season two, since it's likely I'll purchase the first season.
Have they shown any of the eps from seasons 2 and 3 on Boomerang? It seems ridiculous that they would show the same 24 eps seven days a week.

They've just been cycling through the same 24 episodes since September.

I think at one point they showed the Don Adams episode. I never saw it, but I remember seeing it listed at TitanTV

"Wait till your father gets home" was mostly animated by the then new Australian Hanna Barbera unit.
I say new because up until then Bill Hanna had sub contracted to Eric Porter Animation ( Funky phantom, Superfriends, The Chan Clan) and Air programs incorperated (Funky Phantom).
Bill talked many of the animators into leaving these two studios to form Australian Hanna Barbera.
One of the first shows was wait, many of the animators had earlier worked with Porters/artransa Park studios on the animated saturday morning Beatles cartoon.

Wait unitl your father gets home the first season comes on dvd June 5. You can check it out at: http://www.comingsoon.net/dvd/jun07.php
