That's hard for me to say. Like boechsner, FKB would better be compared with The Donna Reed Show.

I am not really a big fan of either show. After the novelty of seeing it for the first time rubbed off, I really haven't been watching FKB. And I don't watch LITB, though I used to. Both shows have their good parts and bad parts:

- FKB really never got any worse from beginning to end.
- LITB I can't really judge on this though since I usually don't watch the last few years.
- FKB Elinor Donahue was great in the role of Betty.
- LITB I thought Barbara Billingsly was great in the role of Mrs. Cleaver.
- FKB . . . . and I also thought Jane Wyatt was good in the role of Mrs. Anderson.
- LITB Like someone else said, Ward & June seemed to be warmer towards their children then Jim and Margaret were.

So I'd say I like them both equally.

Leave it to Beaver!!!! I never really cared for Father Knows Best, but I always watch Beaver so it's no competition.
