Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In this Walt Disney Presents salute to the American father, cartoon hero Goofy appears in the guise of "George", a typical example of Yankee manhood (or is it doghood?). After a brief segment in which bachelor George's head is turned by the pretty girl who will soon become his wife, the episode settles down to choice clips from previous Disney theatrical animated shorts stitched together to illustrate an average day in the life of a suburban daddy. "A Salute to Father" was rerun on June 20, 1976, as "Goofy's Salute to Father," the title it has borne ever since.
