    Rediscovering The 1970s Animated Sitcom Classic 'Wait Till Your Father Gets Home' Feb 06, 2025
    Show notes

    Send us Fan Mail

    Animation enthusiasts and fans of television history are in for a treat as we unpack the animated sitcom "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home," which aired from 1972 to 1974, and is now available on Blu-ray from the Warner Archive. Joined by animation historian Jerry Beck and George Feltenstein from the Warner Archive, we promise a journey through the series' daring exploration of social issues, reminiscent of the era's cultural shifts. Discover how Hanna-Barbera's foray into adult-oriented animation paralleled the success of "All in the Family," breaking new ground in programming strategy. With creative input from Harvey Bullock and R.S. Allen, this lesser-known gem offers a fascinating lens into the evolution of animated sitcoms.
    The episode doesn't stop at history; we also celebrate the show's unique aesthetic and lasting relevance. Playboy cartoonist Marty Murphy’s distinct artistic style brought an adult edge that set the series apart from typical Hanna-Barbera fare. Hear how the sharp writing and humor—highlighted by talents like Tom Bosley and Jack Burns—crafted a show with timeless appeal. Now restored on Blu-ray, "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home" is being rediscovered by new audiences, sparking conversations about its significance and resonance in today's world. Join us in appreciating this animated classic that boldly addressed societal themes through its clever narrative and design.

    Note: George also details the disc 6 replacement plan and the quality issues some viewers have noticed in season 2 episodes. The email to request a replacement Disk 6 is not yet available.
