Warner Home Video plans to take consumers on a nostalgic trip down memory lane with the release of Wait Till Your Father Gets Home: The Complete First Season on June 5th. Released in time for Father's Day, the DVD will include 24 episodes from the show's first season, plus bonus material on four discs. Wait Till Your Father Gets Home: The Complete First Season will retail for $44.98.
WHV has reached into Hanna-Barbera's classic cartoon vaults to bring consumers this animated comedy about the Boyles, a lovable dysfunctional American family living in the suburbs of Los Angeles in the early 70's. Wait Till Your Father Gets Home first aired in primetime on CBS. This show started out as a one-time segment on Love American Style and was later spun off into a syndicated series. Today, the show is often compared to such contemporary animated series as King of the Hill, Family Guy and The Simpsons.
Harry (Tom Bosley, Happy Days), a successful business man, owns a restaurant supply company, while his wife Irma (Joan Gerber) portrays the role of a typical housewife who occasionally stirs up the pot by exhibiting her independent side. Harry and Irma have three children: Chet (David Hayward), Alice (Kristina Holland) and the youngest, Jamie, who is voiced by actor Jackie Earle Haley, recently nominated for an Academy Award and a Screen Actor's Guild award for his role in Little Children.
Many of the show's storylines dealt with the generation gap between Harry and his children. Some of the plotlines featured in the show's first season include Chet being drafted, the Boyles having to deal with nude sunbathers during their beach vacation, Harry being accused of cheating on his wife, the family dealing with Chet's hippie friend, Alice joining a commune, Irma getting a job, Harry being mugged and many others.
