Wait Till Your Father Gets Home

The Fling

Restaurant-equipment dealer Harry Boyle helps a sexy female customer, prompting everyone around him to think that Harry is cheating on his wife, Irma.

Alice's Dress

Harry and his family get invited to a party held by Harry's boss, and Harry wants everyone in the family to act and dress their best — which is easier said than done when Alice wants to wear a racy department-store dress with no brassiere, prompting Harry and Irma to worry about the influence that sex and sexuality in the media has on their daughter.

The Hippie

Chet befriends a hippie musician, which drives his family crazy and prompts Ralph and his anti-Communist Army buddies to create a wall around the neighborhood to keep out all hippies, alleged Communists, and free-thinkers.

The Beach Vacation

The Boyles rent a beach house, but things get complicated when Alice wants to wear a string bikini and Harry must decide whether or not to press charges against a nude sunbather who won't leave his property.

Help Wanted

Harry gets into trouble with special-interest groups when he fires his Jewish driver and must choose between hiring someone who's right for the job versus hiring someone in order to comply with affirmative action dictates.

Love Story

Alice shocks her family again by dating a homeless man named Norman. But when Harry and Irma find out that Norman has rich parents, they push Alice into staying with him.

Syndication

Wait Till Your Father Gets Home is an adult animated sitcom produced by Hanna-Barbera that aired in first-run syndication in the United States from 1972 to 1974 (airing on most NBC stations on Sunday nights at 10:30, except for the ones who had moved their late-night news to that slot). The show originated in 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 The Flintstones more than ten years earlier and would be the only one until The Simpsons fifteen years later. The show was inspired by All in the Family.
