Fun with Ozzie & Harriet

The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet starring Ozzie, Harriet, David and Ricky Nelson, is television's longest running situation comedy. America watched as this active middle-class American family grew up. Created, directed and written by Ozzie Nelson. The house viewers see is an exact replica of the house the Nelsons owned in real life. The one mystique on the series was Ozzie's source of income - he was only seen hanging around the house! Stories revolve primarily around the four Nelsons, with a notable neighbor, Thorny Thornberry, who can be counted on to offer Ozzie ill-timed advice. As the series progressed, and the boys began to date, a succession of friends began to appear. The show that aired on April 10, 1957, featured son Ricky singing I'm Walkin (Fats Domino hit). It became a million selling record and Ricky started a career as a rock and roll star. Watch for some classic TV performers making guest and regular appearances on the show including:

Binghamton - McHale's Navy) Frank Cady (Mr. Drucker - Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, Petticoat Junction) Mary Jane Croft (Mary Jane - The Lucy Show) Joseph Kearns (Mr. Wilson - Dennis the Menace) Sterling Holloway (Waldo - Life of Riley) Hal Smith (Otis - Andy Griffith Show)
