Review of Wait Till Your Father Gets Home

It's been a while since I've seen this show, but from what I remember, it was another cartoon version of a sitcom hit. Just as "The Flintstones" had parodied "The Flintstones" years earlier, "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home" was the Saturday morning version of "All in the Family." Generational wars of words were commonplace in the turbulent early seventies, and on "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home," the Boyles were no exception. Harry, much like his prime time counterpart Archie Bunker, was a reactionary middle aged businessman, while his wife, Irma, not unlike Edith, was the half-scatterbrained, half-sage housewife. Their children included young son Jamie, liberated daughter Alice, and hippie son Chet; the latter two would have been perfect soul mates for Mike and Gloria Stivic. And the groovy way they got along? This probably could best be answered with a line in the theme song. Kids today like to have their own way, and what Daddy doesn't know won't hurt him.
