What happens
Wait Till Your Father Gets Home is an American-Australian adult animated sitcom produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions that aired in first-run syndication in the United States from 1972 to 1974. The show originated as a one-time segment on Love, American Style called "Love and the Old-Fashioned Father". The same pilot was later produced with a live cast (starring Van Johnson), but with no success. The show was the first primetime animated sitcom to run for more than a single season since fellow Hanna-Barbera show The Flintstones more than ten years earlier, and would be the only one until The Simpsons seventeen years later. As of 2025, the series appears Sunday nights 11p- 12a on the MeTV Toons channel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
