William Bendix (who did say "What a revoltin'
development," had a TV show called "The Life
of Riley," not "Life With Father." He used the
line on his radio show of the same name in
the Forties, and it was a universal clich? of
the war years.

"Life With Father" was first a huge Broadway hit
play in 1939, then a 1947 movie with William
Powell and Irene Dunne, and then a TV show
from 1953 to 1955, with Leon Ames and Lurene
Tuttle. It was based on memoirs written by
Clarence Day Jr. about his father (logically
enough).

Don't they teach you kids anything...?
