In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole?

We see The Sci-Fi Christian, in all its iterations, as being about the collision between faith and nerdom. We believe that good genre fiction is about more than just entertainment. We seek to engage with the themes and philosophies behind our favorite stories, wrestling with the big ideas within speculative fiction. We’re unabashedly nerdy and unabashedly Christian.

Welcome back to My 70’s TV Childhood, the podcast where we revisit the television greats that shaped our lives growing up in 1970s Britain.
In this episode, we’re taking a nostalgic journey into Wait Till Your Father Gets Home, an animated sitcom created by Hanna-Barbera. While it offered a distinctly American take on suburban life, its themes of generational conflict and shifting societal values struck a chord with British audiences who were already familiar with similar clashes through sitcoms like Till Death Us Do Part.
Harry Boyle, the conservative patriarch of the family, seemed cut from the same cloth as Alf Garnett—his traditionalist views constantly clashing with the liberal ideals of his son Chet, feminist daughter Alice, and his inquisitive youngest son Jamie. The show masterfully blended sharp humour with cultural commentary, highlighting major social changes of the era, from feminism to the rise of counterculture.
Though rooted in Americana, Wait Till Your Father Gets Home resonated on this side of the Atlantic because its portrayal of family dynamics and generational clashes was universal. Just as Alf Garnett struggled to accept the changing world in Till Death Us Do Part, Harry Boyle’s bewilderment at modern life provided both comedy and reflection, making the show a unique addition to British households in the 70s.
What are your memories of Wait Till Your Father Gets Home? Did its humour and themes strike a chord with you back in the day? Let me know by getting in touch via social media or leaving a comment on the blog at www.my70stvchildhood.com. You can also email me at [email protected]. Don’t forget to subscribe and leave a review—it really helps the podcast grow.
Until next time, thanks for listening.
Take care,
Oliver
