This brings me back to like 1995 when Cartoon Network just started and they’d put this on after the normal looney tunes block was over. That’s when I knew we stayed up past midnight. Good memories🙂
I remember that too. I specifically remember being at my nanas house. I also remember being slightly fascinated by this show cuz it seemed like it was from another world or something
Cartoon Network bought out Hanna Barbara and a few others and merged. That’s why they were able to play newer cartoons and old Toons such as looney tunes. Flinstones, wacky races, smurfs and do on
I remember watching this show when it was new and I've had this theme randomly stuck in my head for 45 years now. FINALLY I can hear it again and get it out of my head. THANK YOU!!!!!
I was 6 and I have dreamed of seeing it again: I can remember a Halloween Night sitting in my “Hobo” costume waiting for the dark to come and go trick-or-treating and watching WTYFGH before we were allowed to go out-and we were in the neighborhood where the Golden State Killer was murdering his victims in Goleta off Cathedral Oaks-making Halloween Xtra Scary 😱!!!!
All I remember is the "wait till your father gets home" part, but strangely enough I've never forgotten about this cartoon. I wish they'd bring these shows back, or put them on dvd for people to enjoy now.
This was the first 'adult' cartoon shown on TV in the UK. A definite precursor to 'The Simpsons' and 'Family Guy.' I was at primary school in Glasgow, Scotland and it was shown around one o'clock in the afternoon. I recall having only ten minutes to run to school after it finished.
I’m so happy I see this is on CZcams. I must have been 4 years old when I first seen this because my late sister used to sing the intro song and she sat me on the family couch to watch it with her... such fond childhood memories.. this brought a smile and a tears at the same time. I miss my sister ..this was a cartoon she loved.
I used to watch this show "all" the time! OMG!!! The memories I had watching it after all these years. My sister, whom lives in Florida, reminded me of it. Awesome!
I watched this in the 90s when Cartoon Network first came into existence and all the shows were old. I got my younger brothers hooked on it, they still talk about it to this day :)
I am 46 years of age, that makes me a child of the 70's. I grew up on this along with Josie and the Pussy Cats. Scoobie, Eltro Woman and Dyno Girl, Land of the Lost. and many more. My heart aches for my son in what he calls "good shows" and "good music". I remember the days when my mom would utter 'WAIT TILL YOUR FATHER GETS HOME" fear and trembling came over us. Now the computer is raising the kids and television is crap rather be on you tube with my memories.
beachgoddess1966 Now HR Puffnstuff is legal marijuana, or maybe cause I live in California everything is a "weed" reference. Can't you just weep for our grandchildren?
+markalan1two Am I the only one that remember H R Puff and stuff? My kid thinks I am talking about weed. You can tell we live in Los Angeles were it is now legal.
HR Puff n stuff was my all time favorite went to see the movie when it came out and I still have the collectable figures "mayor puff n stuff the two police " and don't forget the artful dogger and witchie poo
I remember this show! It aired on NBC here in NY at 7:30 pm on weeknights. It was the first cartoon I ever saw that didn't have at least one talking animal in it.
I remember watching this late at night with my brothers n sisters when my mom worked late in the mid 90's. This song just randomly popped in my head today...ah memories.
Always remember this from when I started junior school. The theme always stands out and was shown on Sunday lunch time in the UK about 1972-73 before Randall and Hopkirk deceased.
i remember being a kid and occasionally catching this when i stayed up late watching cartoons. I always enjoyed it and the theme has lived rent-free in my head all these years
This show was so ahead of its time. This episode in particular the Dad gets mugged and beaten. Could you imagine a family sitcom like Flintstones or Full House where something terrible like that happens to the main character? Not only that, but his older kids hate the dad for trying to prosecute the mugger and want him to have some sort of therapy instead.
Right you are Giovanni Vella. Fred really got mugged and robbed near the end of this episode right after Barney and him win $2000 at the racetrack by betting $50 on a 40-1 longshot named "Saber Tooth" that winds up winning. Naturally Wilma doesn't believe Fred at the end. ;-)
Centuries before the simpsons and family guy, this was on in the evening, the theme and the situations were very 1970s. After years of saying the title tag line, i can now play it whenever i want, life is good
I am in Tears!!!!! This is So Legendary Just a Precious Jewel...We was Partying With This Here.....The Fabulous 70's You had to be There To Know The Fun, The TV Shows, The Best Cartoons.. The Music, I am So Fortunate because I sat in Front of The Floor Model T.V that Lasted 20 Years! Lol... .. Wait Til Your Father gets Home...Right On Baby!
Wait til your father gets home is a great cartoon. Tom Bosley from shows like Happy Days and Father Downing Mysteries and the old movie Yours Mine And Ours with Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball where he played the doctor. Tom Bosley is the voice of the father. I once met his niece Cathy Bosley.
this show seems so cozy, i just discovered it and i love the vibes already! the daughter character is my favorite i think, she's a pretty progressive character for the era this show was made in!
Every time I see Family Guy popping up on my TV I get flashbacks of this show...and yes...Tom Bosley WAS the voice of Harry Boyle! Talk about childhood memories, I am sooo ninety!
This syndicated Hanna-Barbera cartoon series has an interesting begining,because it was first aired as an episode of ABC-TV's "LOVE AMERICAN STYLE",the first of two cartoon segments that Hanna-Barbera produced for the ABC/Paramount TV series,which was pretty rare,for this kind of Primetime show back then!
My goodness this is going back a long way. I remember watching this as a kid in the 70's. Ralph, his paranoid, commie hating next door neighbour that looked like Richard Nixon and that granny (I can't remember her name) with the army boots used to crack me up laughing. Great cartoon although it wasn't really a kids show considering some of the adult themes it dealt with at the time. Thanks for uploading this clip and bringing back the memories.
I remember when this reaired on CN around 1996/7. it was on awfully late at night but I always tried to watch any episode I could. I remember that it wasn't on for too long
Funny how we catch things as adults that we missed as kids. Just now noticing how the daughter arrived back home from her date. "What daddy doesn't know won't hurt him." 😂😂😂 Sick!!!
Funny how things get into your head, I remember watching this on ITV, on a black & white telly. It's now 2022 and for some reason, this popped up, after all those years ago lol...🤣👍🏻
Nowadays the family is broken and the government is not helping the situation its very very important to have a father who will lookout for his daughter ❤️❤️❤️
Awww...How Cute.. There Is Something About This Cartoon, Its Like Having A Window That... Allows You To See Exactly What Things Were Like In The Past...The Seventies! .. It Gives You A Very Interesting Perspective!
We used to watch this London in the late 70's. I think on BBC 2...that theme just started playing in my head while walking around Amsterdam....do.you.think we have been PROGRAMMED?....Hummm¡¡!!!
This theme song meant we were leaving my Grandparents house to an hour car ride home. I was about 5 at the time and always wanted to stay and watch the cartoon. My "father" was a master at deprivation so whatever we wanted he made sure we didn't get it. Remember the song word for word and him bitching in the background to hurry up and get in the GD car. Aren't memories precious?
I remember watching this show everyday after school. I was eight and lived in West Covina at the time. Show was way ahead of its time. Eat your heart out Family Guy and F is For Family.
I remember watching this as a kid, it was another primetime show that really was shooting for adults just like the Flintstones, but it a great family show.
Yes I remember watching this cartoon as a young kid back in the day. Wait until your father comes home was one of those cartoons that you could get enough of watching. cartoons like this are hard to come by today and they don't make them the way they use to either, which by the way is a sad thing. I would say cartoons from 1970s up to 1989 was the greatest of all.
When I bad as a kid bk in the 90s my mom always said wait till yr father gets home it used to scare the crap out of me I knew I was gonna get told off 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
My Dad was director of animation on this show
Prove it
Wow that's amazing can remember this from been very young , still good
Really I love this show when I was a little girl tell him thank you for my memories
@@moonleverette5611 if you like the complete season 1 is on dvd today
He did a good job.
This brings me back to like 1995 when Cartoon Network just started and they’d put this on after the normal looney tunes block was over. That’s when I knew we stayed up past midnight. Good memories🙂
And now look at it. Nothing but the same damn cartoon made by talentless hacks, with different colors of paint.
I remember that too. I specifically remember being at my nanas house. I also remember being slightly fascinated by this show cuz it seemed like it was from another world or something
Yup. U had to stay up late in the summer time to catch this show. Memories
I have those same memories :)
Cartoon Network bought out Hanna Barbara and a few others and merged. That’s why they were able to play newer cartoons and old Toons such as looney tunes. Flinstones, wacky races, smurfs and do on
I remember watching this show when it was new and I've had this theme randomly stuck in my head for 45 years now. FINALLY I can hear it again and get it out of my head. THANK YOU!!!!!
It won't go though.. :)
Social Media ruined our relationships, but CZcams will always be out time capsule! 🤗
Me too 😂
You thought listening to this tume will get it out of your head? It will only exacerbate it! 😅
Same here. I thought I was alone.
I was 8 when this cartoon first came out in 1972 and i have never forgotten the tune.
I was 6 and I have dreamed of seeing it again: I can remember a Halloween Night sitting in my “Hobo” costume waiting for the dark to come and go trick-or-treating and watching WTYFGH before we were allowed to go out-and we were in the neighborhood where the Golden State Killer was murdering his victims in Goleta off Cathedral Oaks-making Halloween Xtra Scary 😱!!!!

I’m 30 and remember watching this all the time at like 2am on Cartoon Network when I was a kid. Watching it now as an adult it’s so underrated lol.
This was the first 'adult' cartoon shown on TV in the UK. A definite precursor to 'The Simpsons' and 'Family Guy.' I was at primary school in Glasgow, Scotland and it was shown around one o'clock in the afternoon. I recall having only ten minutes to run to school after it finished.
No, that was the Great Space Coaster.

$ same sentiment my brother $
😢 es muy triste amigo se me llenaron los ojos de lagrimas al leer tu comentario que Dios la tenga en la gloria.
Bicycle. Home. Dinner. This show. Bed. Crickets. Sleep.
Life was good.
That's such a great way to put things. I relate.
Yes it was.
Finn McCool what about fireflies ??
Bed Crickets!
@@ernestinemaloy6752 Yes, they were there too. Beautiful.
I wasn't old enough to appreciate this show, but my older brother loved it.
Love this show! It brings back soooo many childhood memories.
if you love it the complete season 1 is on dvd today
Anything that's fun
I used to watch this show "all" the time! OMG!!! The memories I had watching it after all these years. My sister, whom lives in Florida, reminded me of it. Awesome!
This show is among my earliest memories when I was 3 years old.
cartoon network at nite 1994-95 everything was so much better then
I hear ya. Cartoon Network back then rocked. The shows today fall into 3 catagories. Garbage junk and crap.
No it fucking wasn't. Adult Swim is fantastic. You can see your Vietnam era cartoons on CZcams, Agnes.
i hear you
Mr. CherryCola just ur view but keep living past. Oh yea remember this show and looking back it was lame
Oh ok then
Classic! I was a young kid of 9 back in 1972 when this came out....great memories!
same
I watched this in the 90s when Cartoon Network first came into existence and all the shows were old. I got my younger brothers hooked on it, they still talk about it to this day :)
I was 9 too!
I was 5 and it stuck in my head for 50 years 🤯
You've just got to love the vocals on this song
The original Family Guy.
Lol.
+Cameron Renton I never said he was wrong.
It seems way nicer and more civil than "Family Guy".
like in the early seasons
Not nearly as crass, vulgar, cynical and militantly atheistic though.
Any other Millennials here who managed to catch this show on CN when they shoulda been in bed? 😂
I am 46 years of age, that makes me a child of the 70's. I grew up on this along with Josie and the Pussy Cats. Scoobie, Eltro Woman and Dyno Girl, Land of the Lost. and many more.

I grew up with those cartoons that you listed. I also miss HR Puffnstuff!
beachgoddess1966 Now HR Puffnstuff is legal marijuana, or maybe cause I live in California everything is a "weed" reference. Can't you just weep for our grandchildren?
+shoeladyt i also grew up with these TV is so boring now mostly reality shows
+markalan1two Am I the only one that remember H R Puff and stuff? My kid thinks I am talking about weed. You can tell we live in Los Angeles were it is now legal.

What about the Duffy's Dozen pilot that was decent
I see a lot of people comparing this to Family Guy, seems more like 70s King of the Hill to me
Hardly anyone remembers this! I tell people about it, and they think it is one of my flashbacks! It really happened!
"Kids today like to have their own way and what Daddy doesn't know won't hurt him"
That verse is as still as true today as it was back then.
I remember watching this late at night with my brothers n sisters when my mom worked late in the mid 90's. This song just randomly popped in my head today...ah memories.
Omg I feel really nostalgic.. not heard that since I was a kid.
Me too!
Always remember this from when I started junior school. The theme always stands out and was shown on Sunday lunch time in the UK about 1972-73 before Randall and Hopkirk deceased.

Could you imagine a family sitcom like Flintstones or Full House where something terrible like that happens to the main character? Not only that, but his older kids hate the dad for trying to prosecute the mugger and want him to have some sort of therapy instead.
Fred Flinstone had a gambling addiction in one episode. That's way worse than being mugged.
Bmm Wtw They did have some serious episodes like when Kimmy got drunk or Stephanie’s friend was being abused at home
Right you are Giovanni Vella. Fred really got mugged and robbed near the end of this episode right after Barney and him win $2000 at the racetrack by betting $50 on a 40-1 longshot named "Saber Tooth" that winds up winning. Naturally Wilma doesn't believe Fred at the end. ;-)
Didn't this show "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home" come on tv in the early 70s,like 1972?
This song is so stuck in my head,I actually love singing along with it.
this show is so underrated. it’s very good.
Velma let herself go.
ha ha ha That's funny
FireLightning16 she has to many secret scoops snacks 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Looks good with a ponytail though.
I like her fluffy tho.
@@wishagoodfluffyhoneylovego4657 Then you have no standards. Listen to Tom Leykis.
I'm sure if we waterboarded Seth McFarland he would admit to this being a strong influence on "Family Guy"
Who is Seth McFarland?
Ill get my bucket and towels. ..are you in???
I was going to say the same thing, not the waterboarding part - but yeah.
@@vicegirlsusa You know he means Seth McFarlane, the Commie who ripped off this show and created the vile Family Guy.
You could do that to anyone to get them to lie. Not saying it would be in Seth’s case.
Centuries before the simpsons and family guy, this was on in the evening, the theme and the situations were very 1970s. After years of saying the title tag line, i can now play it whenever i want, life is good

Wow. Thank you so much mom sissy and I we watch this on a regular basis. We sing the song to this day mom is 93 and has a great memory
God, I loved this show. It used to be on a Friday night, at about 7 o'clock, on ITV, in the early 1970s. I was about 8.
Wait til your father gets home is a great cartoon. Tom Bosley from shows like Happy Days and Father Downing Mysteries and the old movie Yours Mine And Ours with Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball where he played the doctor. Tom Bosley is the voice of the father. I once met his niece Cathy Bosley.
RIP to jack Burns who played neighbor Ralph.
I like that descending bass line on the "Wait til your father gets, wait til your father gets..." chorus part.
this show seems so cozy, i just discovered it and i love the vibes already! the daughter character is my favorite i think, she's a pretty progressive character for the era this show was made in!

joe hill Didn't know that. I'll have to search that down now.
This takes me back to the late eighties in nursery school. Crazy😅 But I could still remember the intro chorus & the setting.
This was one of the best cartoon shows to watch growing up. It was so funny and I remember I would watch with my Aunt and she would laugh so much.
Mid 90s. Cartoon Network. Sunday. Late Night. This show would come on and I loved it!
Shoot, mom sung that familiar song, too, when I was a kid-with a leather belt driving the rhythm/percussion section.
Michael Philbert 😂😂😂
😂🤣
Is it a joke? I don't get it.
Blue Fire He was saying that he heard the same line--with some corporal punishment included.
Oh.
philo1978 Love your copy, looks much better than the DVD versions!
I saw this show in 1972 when I was 6. That means this damn theme song has been stuck in my head for 50 years !.
My goodness this is going back a long way. I remember watching this as a kid in the 70's. Ralph, his paranoid, commie hating next door neighbour that looked like Richard Nixon and that granny (I can't remember her name) with the army boots used to crack me up laughing.

I watched this in 1972 when I was a kid! Seems like yesterday...48 years ago...
I watched this brand new when I was eight years old. Good times. Underrated, short-lived cartoons need to have a home here on YT.
All of our family watched this is 1972.
I remember when this show was on the cartoon network in the late 1980s. Seeing this show meant: "you stayed up too late. Go to bed."
Yeah.. It was my cue to go to bed. Never watched a full episode. lol
Rashaed Cartoon Network didn't exist in the 80s.
Steven Johnson 1992 I guess.
I remember when this reaired on CN around 1996/7. it was on awfully late at night but I always tried to watch any episode I could. I remember that it wasn't on for too long
Sean LoPresti Yeah I used to sneak to watch this late at night on the weekdays.
Fun tidbit: The youngest kid was voiced by Jackie Earle Haley in season 1.
Tom Bosley,Mr Cunningham on "Happy Days" was the Father's voice!
Don't forget Sheriff Amos Tuffer on Murder She Wrote for the first 4 seasons.
I barely realized this!
I remember THIS show and THIS episode. 7:30 on WPVI 6. This and Zoom on PBS.
+Tony G. Pizza Captain Noah, Sally Starr, Gene London, Wee Willie Webber and Dr. Shock too.
I actually remember this show as a kid. Thats Tom Bosley from Happy Days.. he had a very distrnctive voice.,
Funny how we catch things as adults that we missed as kids. Just now noticing how the daughter arrived back home from her date. "What daddy doesn't know won't hurt him." 😂😂😂 Sick!!!
I remember this was basically an animated "All in the Family ", it was good!
Actually, the was a 1972 Saturday morning cartoon “The Barkleys” that was virtually an animated “All in the Family.”
This title just sprung into my head for some reason .thank God youtube verified it for me 😂 it was on UK tv on Saturday mornings in the mid 80's
I was 5 years old when this was out and until now I thought it was just a fever dream. I need to find this on DVD.
Me too! Born 1966.
Funny how things get into your head,
I remember watching this on ITV, on a black & white telly. It's now 2022 and for some reason, this popped up, after all those years ago lol...🤣👍🏻
OMG ... I remember this show. My mom used to say that to me almost daily !!
classic ..... afterschool at home sat infront of tv ..... ahhhh bliss
Nowadays the family is broken and the government is not helping the situation its very very important to have a father who will lookout for his daughter ❤️❤️❤️
I was 4 when this came out. I wasn't allowed to watch it! 😂
I loved this cartoon. I was very young. Miss this. Thanks for the vid. Subscribed.
I remember when these episodes were first run back in the early '70s Classic stuff!
1972 to be exact.
This takes me back
family guy before family guy
+Thethreebrothers Before the Simpsons, too.
Except Harry Boyle wasn't a dope like homer and peter
Freezepark I'm suprised Hong Kong Phoey or Harry Boyle and family never appeared in Harvey Birdman:Attroney at Law
Freezepark
*ONLY IN THE CHARACTER DESIGNS . IT REALLY DOESN'T GO ANY FURTHER THAN THAT .*
WOW! Memories flooding back!!! This show was SO before Family Guy
Alice is probably one of the cutest cartoon characters I've ever seen
Shared this with my family .. I was 10 when it first came on.. loved this show. Didn't realize it was only on for 1 season
Two seasons, actually.
Awww...How Cute..
There Is Something About This Cartoon, Its Like Having A Window That... Allows You To See Exactly What Things Were Like In The Past...The Seventies! .. It Gives You A Very Interesting Perspective!
We used to watch this London in the late 70's. I think on BBC 2...that theme just started playing in my head while walking around Amsterdam....do.you.think we have been PROGRAMMED?....Hummm¡¡!!!
I would watch this with Mom back in the 90s on Cartoon Network. God, I love this show so much!
This theme song meant we were leaving my Grandparents house to an hour car ride home. I was about 5 at the time and always wanted to stay and watch the cartoon.
My "father" was a master at deprivation so whatever we wanted he made sure we didn't get it.

Aren't memories precious?
I'm glad my husband told me about this one. Because I didn't know we're in a gap relationship.
For the last two decades were married
I remember the show from 1972-1974. It was hysterical. My favorite character was Sergeant Whitaker.
Wow!! My youth!! Loved this!!!
I remember watching this show everyday after school. I was eight and lived in West Covina at the time. Show was way ahead of its time. Eat your heart out Family Guy and F is For Family.
Love it! I was trying to get someone to remember this and no one remembers!! I loved this show! Haha
Long before its time. I used to watch this with my Mum.
Remember it well from the 70s ..national treasures those cartoons from back then.🫠🏴
I remember watching this as a kid, it was another primetime show that really was shooting for adults just like the Flintstones, but it a great family show.
Cartoon Network mid-90’s early in the morning like 6am...simpler times
I was born in 72, but do indeed remember watching this on TV, maybe as a toddler. I guess it was reruns maybe.
Thank u so much for these videos
Yes I remember watching this cartoon as a young kid back in the day.
Wait until your father comes home was one of those cartoons that you could get enough of watching. cartoons like this are hard to come by today and they don't make them the way they use to either, which by the way is a sad thing. I would say cartoons from 1970s up to 1989 was the greatest of all.
Your Dad was way ahead of his time. The social commentary on this show was very good. It's like a time capsule now.
I remember this show when I was a lil kid.. God im old!
Reminds me of happy days as a child i remember this tune it brings it all back now my family is all gone.
Just discovered this show today, this theme song is low key a bop 😂😂🤷🏽♂️
This was so far ahead of its time
Great memories
Kisses and some tears of nostalgy from Italy
Absolutely brilliant I always watched this
Hell nah they gonna put this oldschool cartoon on MeTv Toons next month lol 😆
When I bad as a kid bk in the 90s my mom always said wait till yr father gets home it used to scare the crap out of me I knew I was gonna get told off 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I got a flashback to 40 years ago when I was in kindergarten to 1st grade watch this tv sitcom cartoon during late 1970s.
