DOES ANYONE REMEMBER CARTOON: WAIT TIL YOUR FATHER GETS HOME... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I remember this cartoon back in the mid 70's. The father was voiced by Tom Bosley (Happy Days). It had a mother, sister, hippie like brother and a young brother who would be considered the militant midget for the "white" people. There was a neighbor who was voiced by the actor who played Schneider the maintenance guy on "one day at a time". Can't recall his name right now. Anyhow, this to me was the first family animated cartoon (I don't count the Flintstones, that's in a category all by itself). It is the equivalent of Simpsons, and King of the Hill. It is the pioneer of these type of cartoons. I loved this show.

Here is a link to the website and you can even hear the show's theme. Check it out:

Yeah, it would be great. I wish they aired it on the cartoon network. They should bring it back in syndication so the new generation of people who didn't see it can watch and see how this stuff originated (cartoon families that is).

This was one of the few first run cartoons to air in prime time access. Actually, Pat Harrington didn't voice the neighbor, It was Jack Burns.
