The Mouse.

WAIT TILL YOUR FATHER GETS HOME, the only successful, animated sitcom in the 27 year gap between the FLINTSTONES and SIMPSONS, progresses to its tenth regular episode...

But it feels oddly like a second pilot. Centering on the youngest kid, who was added after the LOVE AMERICAN STYLE pilot, and focusing on the series title concept of Dad being the 'heavy', expected to maintain discipline with the kids while Mom gets to be their favorite. This installment also has semi Fourth Wall breaks as characters seem to be addressing the audience directly, something not common in previous episodes.

From November, 1972.
