Father Knows Best: Formula for Happiness (1959)
Season 5, Episode 30
10/10
Spellbound!
12 August 2014
This show should be required viewing for anyone attempting to write a screenplay for a pilot shown on 'today's' television boxes.

It's always a treat to remind ourselves what life was like 40 or 50 years ago.

Not for the differences – but for seeing the things that haven't changed.

If you have seen – and love – Hitchcock's "Spellbound", you will love this show.

It uses the same 'dream interpretation' plot in a beautiful, warm and witty way.

The characters, as usual, are both 'everyman' and larger than life.

The message is one both simple and profound.

And the best part is - it is one of those very rare TV sightings for which most viewers will not 'figure it out' before the end.
