Comments

This series was an immense success in the United States, dissociating family series of the time which often brushed the portrait of a little stupid characters.

Jane Wyatt, which took down three Emmy Awards for its service, was called at the time the ideal mom of television . A few years later, she interpreted the role of the mother of famous the Spock in the series Star Trek.
