Ah, "A Date with Your Family"! One of my very favorite MST3K shorts. Fabulous. Especially during the dinner scene, where the riffs just get funnier and funnier till you can't catch your breath for laughing!
The Home Economics story, which happens to be from the Waffles episode that I mentioned a little while back.
I'm a huge MST3K fan, can you tell?

PS I may be wrong, but I really think the narrator is Hugh Beaumont (Ward Cleaver).

Check out the "Film Crew". If you're a member of Netflix, you can watch their movies online or rent the DVDs. They are the MST3K guys, without the puppets and the green screen. Same guys, same excellent commentary, only edgier and recently produced (2007).

Or RiffTrax, if you're a Mike Nelson fan.

I recall looking forward to those films they would occasionally play on a clickety projector in class in the 50s and 60s, unfortunately I rarely got to see the end as I would inevitably be send to the principals office for my running commentary.

Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image; make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong

I grew up in the early 60's and these instructional films were always anticipated. I bought a whole collection of them (not the MST versions, the originals) and run them for youngins that have co comprehension of what a polite society was. I have one with the ORIGINAL Emily Post. It makes me want to polish the sterling.

I used to watch this show faithfully when I lived in Chicago. Those three characters made those "B" and "C" movies worth watching!

"Emotions are for ethnic people." It's always just like this in the 8 (or 9?) perfect McCain Family dining rooms! BUT: It's all, like, "Gimme more mother$%#@in' ice tea!" at the Obama table.
