“Father Knows Zilch” was remade many times during the 50s and 60s. As a sop to women, who had less freedoms than they have today, many series depicted the husband as a lovable boob whose beautiful, patient, ingenious wife would “save the day”, often figuring out a way for the husband to get the credit. Case in point: “Bewitched”

Maybe you could hook up a Calvin Entertainment System and play some Super Calvin Bros.

I wonder if his Spaceman Spiff idea could make the cut on TV.

Oddly enough Calvin, you’re currently watching the best show there is, the great outdoors.

Even a beloved young cartoon character can’t escape today’s cancel culture.

I’m with dad. Having grown up in the 50s, I cannot believe the amount of commercials on today’s TV, which is the main reason I am not connected.

I’ll miss “This Week on G.R.O.S.S.” A very informative show.

Sounds like something my dad would’ve done at the time. Also, I was seven when this comic was published.

Remember the days when parents could actually control what their kids watched without having to hide every tablet and cell phone AND the remote?
