* CondemnedByHistory: The show was hugely popular in TheFifties, running for six seasons and reran for years afterwards. In the 1960s and 1970s, when the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Women's Liberation movement came to re-define the American landscape, ''Father Knows Best'' and its idealized middle-class nuclear family, came off as antiquated. Today, it has become infamous as a symbol of '50s conservatism at its most cornball. Similar shows from its era, such as ''Series/LeaveItToBeaver'', ''Series/TheDonnaReedShow'', and ''Series/TheManyLovesOfDobieGillis'' have similar "rose-tinted" reputations, but they do not attract the same level of disdain (even if the latter has fallen into relative obscurity), probably because they don't have associations with rigid, outdated conservatism right there in the title.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: This show could not have been made in any time other than the '50s. It revolves around a standard NuclearFamily led by a [[StandardFiftiesFather responsible patriarch]] and is very much set in the "present day" (the show came out in 1954).
** Ironically, it's often lost in pop culture the show was being ''subversive'' at the time portraying Jim as a strong figure. In the original radio show, the title was meant to be ironic, with Jim being a traditional BumblingDad. There's even an episode of the TV series where Jim complains that fathers on television are always idiots.
