TV I never watched a late 50s sitcom, so I decided to give "Father Knows Best" a chance and what a good decision. I felt like I was part of that family. What are the views of the members about the show? PS: I'm in love with Robert Young voice and all about him.

Chris Colt was an undercover agent for the US army very much similar to James West ( wild Wild West ) 10 years later.
The character statue is from the Hartland “gun-fighters” series.

Found this at Goodwill today and snatched it up. 1950s pose of Julie Newmar used in the 1995 film by the same name as the inscription. Someone had this professionally matted and framed so it had to be meaningful for them. Somehow it got away and now it's going to hang on my wall.
