Wait Till Your Father Gets Home was an animated television series produced from 1972 to 1974 by Hanna-Barbera which aired in first-run syndication in the United States.
The 49 episodes features Tom Bosley as Harry Boyle, the long-suffering suburban everyman dad and restaurant equipment dealer. The Boyle family consists of father Harry, wife Irma (voiced by Joan Gerber), overweight daughter Alice, lazy, unemployed young adult son Chet and a younger son, Jamie. Harry often bickers with the more liberal Alice and Chet over various social attitudes of the day with Irma endeavoring to remain neutral while Jamie is more sympathetic to his father's beliefs.
To balance out Harry's conservativism, there is Ralph Kane, Boyle's neighbour who is a right wing militant vigilante. Ralph's fanatically intolerant and potentially violent obsessions allow the disapproving Harry to appear reasonable and sympathetic in comparison. Ralph is possibly the model for Dale Gribble on King of the Hill.
Many of the stories revolve around the generation gap between Boyle and his children.
The show was inspired by All In The Family, itself a remake of the British series Til Death Us Do Part
The show premiered as a one-time segment on Love, American Style (as did the show Tom Bosley is better known for, Happy Days) and was spun off into a syndicated series.

I remember that cartoon! It's been over 10 years I think since I saw it on a station. Didn't Cartoon Network have it on Sunday nights? I remember staying up to watch it.

CORRECTION: i just looked it up. if you have directv, it comes out nightly at 1:30 am MST on BOOM (297).
funny that this comes up, but it was on tv a few weeks ago. i wish i could remember what channel, but it was on directv. not any of the cartoon networks. dang it, i wish i could remember, but it was cool to watch. i forgot about the freaky neighbor and how fat the daughter was.
not too many people know that it was a product of 'love, american style.' another great show. i wish that would be shown. can't even find it on dvd

Top class entertainment we all remember the choruus but heres the rest:
Wait Till Your Father Gets Home
I love my Mum and Dad and my brothers too,
And the groovy way we get along,
But every time the slightest little thing goes wrong,
Mum starts to sing this familiar song.
Wait till your father gets, until your father gets,
Wait till your father gets home.
Dad's not so bad, and he seldom gets made,
And we aren't about to desert him.
Kids today like to have their own way,
And what Dad doesn't know won't hurt him.
I think my Mum's just swell, but she starts to yell,
Everytime we have a ruck,
Just wait till your father gets, until your father gets,
Wait till your father gets home.
You see what I mean? Wait till your father gets home.
We know!
Please lets see it released on dvd would sell millions!!!!
Please Please Please

I do! It was pretty good. I remember the father was always telling the teenage son to get his hair cut. I think it was on in the 70's.
