Before the late 1980s and "Married... with Children" introduced

were wise and stolid; sometimes they seemed stern, but they always
had their children's best interests at heart.

Please see the 2-page handout at:

http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/7-8/dad.pdf

We give you the name of a classic (mostly 1950s-1980s) TV show, and
you tell us which picture shows the actor who played the father in
that show. Note that the pictures don't always show the actor in
character for the show. Some of the shows were in color, but the
handout isn't.

1. "Happy Days".
2. "Brady Bunch".
3. "The Waltons".
4. "Family Ties".
5. "My Three Sons".
6. "Eight is Enough".
7. "Father Knows Best".
