5.0 out of 5 stars Waiting for more, September 29, 2005

This review is from: Trouble With Father:Vol 2 Classic TV (DVD)

Stu Erwin as bumbling father & school principal in a treasured sitcom of the 1950's, originally known as Life with the Erwins.

A true relic of the golden age of tv which is timelessly entertaining & fun to watch over & over again.

This review is from: Trouble With Father:Vol 2 Classic TV (DVD)

This is really good TV, better than much of the stuff on NBC, CBS and ABC lately. My favourite episode of the four episodes on this disc is "Barbeque", a true laugh-riot! I also enjoyed seeing the home decor of the time, and the 4th episode on the disc contains original commercials for Paper-Mate.

If you like vintage 50's television, like I do, this is an average show typical of the times. If your a collector you should at least have a volume.
