Love and the Old-Fashioned Father | The-N 

I used to watch this as a little girl .waiting for my granny to get off work . She worked 3 to 11, so when this was over, I knew my granny was on her way home. I'll be 50 June 13 . Missing you, granny 💜💜💜

And when the daughter grew up, she went on to meet Shaggy, Fred, Daphne and a talking dog.

The Flintstones: the past The Jetsons: the future Wait Till Your Father Gets Home: the present Hanna Barbera sure knew how to make the shows with the exact same premise take place in different time periods

Back when the Cartoon Network was in it’s beginning & with quality & wholesomeness, circa 1993-94 I was introduced to this terrific show because it was always followed by Top Cat Rest In Peace Tom Bosley, Hanna & Barbera, Jack Burns & all who were part of this incredible show who aren’t here with us anymore 😊

I love how they show realistic body types in this show.

I remember LOVING this show. Was super bummed when it was cancelled and that it seems like NOBODY remembers this show

The great grandfather of all adult animation!

I remember running home and waiting for this show to come on when I was 6 years old. it was one of the first prime time cartoons since the Flintstones. didn't last long.

I remember this coming on at midnight during the 90s and I thought it was so cool. Back then you couldn't just look on the net for old shows.

I watched this show when I was eight, but the humor went way over my head.

Seth MacFarlane definitely got some of Family Guy from this

The daughter looks very much like Velma out of Scooby doo. Use to love watching this at night In early 80s.cant remember last time I saw it. Waking up from an afternoon nap I thought I Google it

I like Chet,he’s got the real hippie look

There is a new 24/7 channel on television showing this cartoon and sooo many forgotten favorites stumbled upon it..nice to see them....again 😊

They could air this in today's world, not much has changed.

I remember watching this as a child. I remember it as “Wait till your father gets home”

I feel like this show was the inspiration for Family Guy. Does anyone else get those vibes?

It's 2023, I'm 35 years old, and I'm a huge fan of animation. This was my first time watching this cartoon and holy shit was it hilarious!

I wish Hanna Barbera would have released the entire series on dvd. They stopped after season one. You can’t even watch the other seasons on tv because nobody runs them

Lenny Weinrib,who voices Chet,also voiced H.R. Pufnstuf in 1969 and wrote the episodes of the show. He was in tons of shows back in the 60’s and 70’s. He starred in an episode of “The Dick Van Dyke show” as well. A very funny guy.

I remember watching this on "Love, American Style", and then watching the TV series it created. So very long ago.

i remember this pre Simpson adult cartoon vividly

I loved this show. ❤️

This is like all in the family meets happy days 😂

Family Guy sure loved this and all in the family

Bob,Carol, Ted and Alice

It’s funny how in the 70s, teenagers were like “I don’t need money” now the dollar tree is a $1.25

Ralph is a real one.

Wow, so this is the Love American Style’s version. Harry was more mellowed out for Wait til Your Father gets Home.

What David the Gnome would be like if he yelled all the time

I used to really love this show, although it didn't seem to be on often. Quite why I'm not sure, as I was in single figures and surely can't have understand too much of it. Maybe what I loved is that the father seems like a genuinely nice guy, unlike my own father who was not. Ah well! I really enjoyed watching that! Thanks for uploading.

The nostalgia of this show

I was a senior in high school 50 years ago when this cartoon came out. My friends and I laughed hysterically watching this, but realized how great a conversation piece it could be between teens and parents. I really love the part when the father says, " what we don't need in the world today is a bunch of cool pappas and hot mama's. OMG! We now have a overload of both. 😂

Alice's hippie boyfriend is out-eating Michael Stivic! 😂😂

I am surprised these characters never appeared in Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law.

Loved this when it first came on in the 70s...was surprised in retrospect that it was only one season.. and I forgot his neighbor..lol.. vigilante..who knew how prescient they were back then

This feels like Hanna-Barbera doing Norman Lear.

watching this on a cold cold February night Feb 4 2023 drinking on some egg nod lol and laughing at this

They really aped All In The Family on this one, down to the progressive boyfriend designed like Meathead

The couch scene was 1972’s crystal ball into Gen Z.

Way way better then family guy

Even when i was a kid watching this show in the 80s I understood how brilliant it was. When you're a kid all you wanna be is a "big kid" so this was kinda like my gateway into adult humour.

This is the first cartoon sitcom made for adults

I just love Tom Bosley as the dad's voice on this,it is too much ‼️‼️🤣🤣😂

This is awesome

Mr. Cunningham doing a cartoon.

Notice how Ralph resembles Richard Nixon.

My favorite show, American guy.

This is actually the first time I've seen this since I was a child. As a kid in the 70's we ate this up, not aware of the innuendo.

Great show

😂😂😂 my favorite cartoon

Lol. This was really a different time.

I thought I'd recognized Tom Bosley's voice 😊❤

this is the pilot as the younger son isnt in it , its totally brilliant ,

is that Tom Bosley from happy days

I didn’t’ know that former President Nixon(Harry Boyle’s next door neighbor) was a cartoon character😁

The original blueprint for Family Guy

Kinda gives me married with children meets all in the family vibes

This was a great show thanks for posting

AITF as a cartoon: 6:25. " Aw cheez, one of them types."

Tim Bosley from the show Happy Days is the voice of the dad

This was one of the most underrated shows ever. It was at least as controversial as the Norman Lear shows, but I don't know of a single time it actually ran into any controversy (except for that lawsuit over the Cal Worthington parody).

Alice was clearly the inspiration for Meg Griffin.

Its so funny but back then a common feature of even the most modest homes was a small wet bar with stools!

The brilliance of Boyle and Burns!

Very good job dudes and well done and happy Juneteenth!! Congratulations 999.84% yo throughout the 4th sizzling week of said joyous June y'all. This is the first cartoon sitcom made for adults.

This is still relevant today.

Busted Open bought me here. I've got to find more episodes now.

Quality show. Don't see those anymore

Thanks for this. I used to love this. Especially Ralph's resemblance to Richard Nixon.😂

In 1996, this re-ran for a bit on very late night tv. I can't remember which channel. I was 11, my brother was 9. We watched this, Bullwinkle and The 3 Stooges during summer break because we were allowed to stay up late. Kids in 2024 have MUCH better options!❤

I really liked that tbh.

See Chet and Alice, Millennials , Gen-Z, and Gen-Alpha? This is how [some] your grandparents were--actual "boomers"--in their youth... not much different than you. Why'd they stop being that way? Because they GREW-UP!!... and faced reality, and became mindful & pursuant of the things that really matter in a modern society, for the sake of theirs and their children's comfort & survival--just like your parents, too!

I'm not one for adult cartoons, but this one was cleverly funny.

"they will take over with pornography and fluoride" 👁️ 💉 when the programming predates Alex Jones! 😂😂😂

Before Meet the Simpsons…before Family Guy and Southpark!!! Ahhhh the GOOD OLD DAYS! 💖✌️🇦🇺🌼

I remember watching this back in 1977....it was a rerun and I was 6 years old. I got to see the generation gap, the hippie life and the sexual revolution in one cartoon.

Really amazing how the men who played reactionary characters like this were far from their roles in real life. Tom Bosley was Harry Boyle but actually Liberal; Jackie Gleason played Ralph Kramden and was also Frank Morrison in a movie version of Thunder On Sycamore Street but was known to be an extravagant spender and also defended black performers in the same way Frank Sinatra did; Ed Begley played a racist in 12 Angry Men but was actually far from being that. Hey!! They were actors.

$4,000 a year for college? That’s a bargain these days.

The first spin-off of LAS 2 years before Happy Days (also with Tom Bosley)

Originally telecast on February 11, 1972.

pretty cool

I remember watching this as a kid on cartoon network not knowing it’s from the 70s 😂 I like the simplicity of it

All in the family

I like this show

Yikes the neighbor’s a Proud Boy. 😂

This became the shiow Wait Till You're Father' Gets Home.

In addition to “Wait Till Your Father Gets Home”, “Happy Days” also grew out of a “Love, American Style” episode.

Do you prefer this instead of the endless teen sitcoms

This show is like an actual sitcom of

My god. The black maid character is just perfect. Reminds me of every hardworking old woman ive met.

I had no idea this show aired on MeTV

"Mr C" from happy days!

It's okay, back in those days, banks hadn't yet figured out how to slam us with all kinds of garbage fees.

Meg.🤣

The boyfriend kinda looks like TONY ORLANDO.

I really do miss this show

I always used to watch this

I remember this back when it was first broadcast. Sadly you can’t find the rest of the seasons anywhere. Chico and the Man is another show that seems to have disappeared from the air and memories of most people.

Grew up watching this late at night with lots of siblings sitting around bored abused and traumatised. Lesson in Narcissism misogyny and ignorance. Would anyone like to trade childhood places😢
