===Television career===
Today, Young is most remembered as the affable insurance salesman in the long-running popular sitcom ''[[Father Knows Best]]'' (1949–1954 on radio, 1954–1960 on television), for which he and his co-star [[Jane Wyatt]] won several [[Emmy Award]]s.<ref>{{cite book|last=Newcomb|first=Horace |title=Encyclopedia of Television|publisher=CRC Press|year=2004|edition=2|pages=856|isbn=1-57958-411-X}}</ref> [[Elinor Donahue]] ("Betty"), [[Billy Gray (actor)|Billy Gray]] ("Bud"), and [[Lauren Chapin]] ("Kathy") played the Anderson children in the television version.

Young then created, produced, and starred with [[Ford Rainey]] and [[Constance Moore]] in the [[nostalgia|nostalgic]] CBS comedy series ''[[Window on Main Street]]'' (1961–1962).

Young's final television series was ''[[Marcus Welby, M.D.]]'' (1969–1976), co-starring a young [[James Brolin]]. This show earned an Emmy for Young, for best leading actor in a drama series.

He shared the stage on ''[[The Dick Cavett Show]]'' with [[Jimi Hendrix]] in September 1969.

Until 1982, he made numerous television commercials for [[Sanka]] coffee.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Pace |first1=Eric |title=Advertising; Last Cup of Sanka for Dr. Welby |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1982/08/26/business/advertising-last-cup-of-sanka-for-dr-welby.html |access-date=August 7, 2021 |work=The New York Times |date=August 26, 1982}}</ref>

The popular phrase "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV" from a commercial for [[Vicks]] 44 cough medicine has been erroneously attributed to Young due to his ''Marcus Welby, MD'' fame. It was actually spoken by actor [[Chris Robinson (American actor)|Chris Robinson]] and then by [[Peter Bergman]] during the 1980s.{{Citation needed |date=September 2022}}
