Bachelor Father is available on dvd >

dvdsentertainmentonline

I just order the (2) disc set. I'll let everyone know when I get it.

A lot of people always comment on how unrealistic shows like Bachelor Father was but the point was then (and should be now) it gave society something to aspire to be more like and provide good role models. Unlike today where the point seems be something very average (or often below avg) to relate to.

This isn't an accident. The powers that be are very well aware of what a powerful medium television & movies are and use it to control social consciousness. I just wish we could return (and I think we slowly are) to a much more conservative society w/ more humility, respect and compassion as American society had in the late 1950's - early 1960's. That conservatism starts w/ self respect I think.

I got dvds. The best way I describe them quality is the probably are very similar to how they'd look watching them at home on your television in 1962. They even contain the original commercials which are mostly Tareyton cigarette ad which seem outrageous knowing what we know now re: how dangerous cigarette smoking is. They were regarded like toothpaste or soap back then. Forsythe & Tong themselves each even do a Tareyton commercial. Reminds me of Laramie cigarette ads on The Simpsons. Overall I'd say they're definitely worth the $25 bucks I spent.

I love this series. I can catch Antenna TV now and you can bet I'll be glued to the TV. As another poster mentioned, I hope to see the Linda Evans episode. I think one of today's had a Cheryl Holdridge appearance, but I missed it.

I say most of Antenna TV's Bachelor Father now! Some are just super great! But they are beginning to repeat the episodes.

Is there a complete DVD series? Or has anyone found an online streaming for Bachelor Father?
