And Harry Boyle forgot to set his alarm. From the era of the live-action All in the Family comes the animated generation gap comedy Wait Till Your Father Gets Home. Tom Bosley provides the voice of Harry, an affable, forty something Everyman and suburban father of three whose daily routine is anything but, when he faces the burning questions of the “Make Love Not War” era. His eldest son Chet is a college dropout; his teenage daughter Alice finds female solidarity with Harry’s independent wife Irma; while their nine-year-old Jamie is a…Capitalist! Women’s Lib, Civil Rights, hippies, sexuality, communes, music and the Cold War are some of the hot-button petals in the series’ flower-powered laugh fest. They’re all part of Harry’s world, where a man’s home is his hassle. Mellow out and enjoy some peace, love and laughs!]]> .com Like All In the Family, Wait Till Your Father Gets Home's social commentary works because it appeals to every member in the household. Mocking nuclear family norms, this animated series is more radical than most Hanna-Barbera cartoons featuring dogs in hats, ghosts from space, and other zany characters. Wait Till Your Father Gets Home banks on stereotypes: the bread-winning, straight-laced, "crew cut" father, Harry Boyle (Tom Bosley of Happy Days), housewife, Irma, and their three revolutionary children. Alice, the conflicted feminist on a constant diet, Chet, proto-slacker perpetually meditating with long hair and bell bottoms, and the little businessman, scoffing idealism to emulate his father's good sense. Each episode in The Complete First Season explains the generation gap between baby boomers and hippies, making a virtual history book of what kids disagreed with back in the early seventies. In "The Hippie," Chet adopts a vagrant buddy to his parents chagrin. In "The New Car," Harry laments a consumerist society based on sales scams rather than old-fashioned customer service. In "Mama's Identity," Irma takes Alice's advice to reject her housewife lifestyle for an equally degrading secretarial position in a law office. And in each episode, The Boyle's racist, pro-war neighbor, Ralph, offers a glimpse into the paranoid fantasies upheld by those who feared post-Cold War, Communist takeover. This is not to mention the radical animation approach taken by Hanna-Barbera, who hired a Playboy cartoonist, Marty Murphy, to design the characters. The intro sequence has a soundtrack reminiscent of Schoolhouse Rock, and the fact that people are rendered in full color against flat, line-drawn backgrounds only further emphasizes the social aspect of the series. These sophisticated, adult cartoons are fresher now than they were when us kids viewed them back in the day. —Trinie Dalton ## Product Details - **Genre:** Comedy, Kids & Family - **Format:** Animated, Box set, Closed-captioned, Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC - **Contributor:** Harvey Bullock, Jack Burns, Joan Gerber, Joseph Barbera, Lennie Weinrib, R.S.

I wasn't aware of this show back when it came out so many years ago. But i got into it while seeing it on cable more than a few times so i did the search and found it here. Bought it and within a couple episodes i was already hooked. It took me by surprise some of things that get discussed at first but i realize race relations, feminism, communism, sexual liberation, women's lib and all that was a huge deal especially back in that time era. So with that i was able to look at those issues and take them to heart and learn a couple things from them as well. Just so folks know that race gets hit quite a bit in this series...i dont think its enough to stop someone from buying this. Because its done well and doesnt detract from the series as a whole.I love all the characters in the Boyle family and the show in general especially the youngest son he's like a going to be Donald Trump with all the money he's making in the show. Very level business type for a kid thats impressive always looking for a deal and coming to the aid of the father. Chet and his sis always seem to be on the Father about things he's doing and what he should be doing..coming from a guy that hasn't worked a steady job for any amount of time, is out of college and lives at home. He's not in a position to really go there even though he does much to his Dad's dismay.This is a series that while it has serious undertones they never bring down the show and actually make it better to watch. Give it a shout and you'll find another something to enjoy & add to your collection. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! THE BOYLE FAMILY IS COMING TO DVD!!! TOTALLY GROOVY!!! *by T***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 31, 2007* Wow! Never in my wildest dreams did I think this classic 70's cartoon would get released on dvd!!! I remember when the cartoon network briefly aired the episodes in prime-time several years ago. Unfortunately they were recorded on vhs from a old tv at the time, so the episodes had very poor sound quality. At that point I was just happy to record one of my favorite cartoon shows of the 1970's!!!The Boyle family included father Harry Boyle(voiced by Tom Bosley of Happy Days), wife Irma, oldest son Chet, daughter Alice, and youngest son Jamie. The oldest son Chet was a college dropout, who still lived at home and never really wanted to work. Alice was the sweet overweight daughter who was always the free thinker, and wanting to try new things, and the youngest son Jamie was the little capitalist always trying to make a fast buck! The mother Irma was just plain hilarious in her way of thinking and that whiney nasal voice simply added to the humor! There was also Harry's nextdoor neighbor Ralph, who was this military fanatic, that was paranoid about so-called communist, and being ready to attack at anytime.Althought Wait til your father gets home only lasted about 2 full seasons, they included some very funny episodes and funny guest stars like the voices of Don Knotts, Phyliss Diller, and Monty Hall. One of my favorite episodes was when Dad Harry Boyle decided to build a swimming pool and the nightmare that came along with it. I also loved the episode when the Boyles go on a summer vacation and there are nudist hanging around on the beach. Wow! I can't wait to enjoy this show all over again on dvd!!! June 5th can't come fast enough!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I love how harry's neighbor is supposed to describe the mugger ... *by E***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 20, 2016* I found the intro to this show on youtube many years ago, and watched the episode where harry gets mugged. I laughed really hard. I love how harry's neighbor is supposed to describe the mugger to the police but is describing his bowling ball instead. I picked up the dvd set not long after, but when my dvds got scratched, I bought a new dvd. And I still love this show. This was an adult cartoon long before the Simpsons and family guy. Harry grew up in the time of malt shops, simple fun, and boys with short haircuts. His daughter is a feminist, his wife is dimwitted, his son is a bit of a hippie and his other son loves to make money (even if it's paying people to look at his father's injured head). It's a very funny show, a bit outdated, but still funny. It's been called an animated version of all in the family, but I think harry has more heart than archie bunker. The show is a bit outdated, but it's still funny. It's a forgotten hanna-barbera jem --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/2234461-wait-till-your-father-gets-home-the-complete-first-season](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/2234461-wait-till-your-father-gets-home-the-complete-first-season) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
