The Anderson's were an average family in an average town in an average time in average America. Most shows revolved around some sort of misunderstanding, usually involving one of the children. By the end of the show everything worked out and usually a lesson of some sort was learned. Robert Young went on to star in the 1954 - 1963 television show of the same name.
