Product Description
THE OZZIE & HARRIET COLLECTION
Here come the Nelsons! Ozzie, Harriet, David, and - of course - Ricky! They're all here along with Thorny, Wally, and the rest of the gang in 25 delightful episodes on 5 discs.

The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet was a landmark family sit-com (about a real family) that ran for a staggering fourteen years on ABC, from October of 1952 (when future heartthrob Ricky Nelson was only twelve years old) to September of 1966 (when he was twenty-six, married, and a father!). It's amazing to realize that one television program could start in the post-World War II era of Harry Truman and finish when Lyndon Johnson was dealing with Vietnam war protesters.

Today's audiences may be puzzled that these shows were called "adventures" when the stories revolved around such life-threatening crises as Harriet losing a pin or David's disappointment that he wasn't asked to a dance, but The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet entertained millions of viewers each and every week, and you'll discover (or rediscover) why in this classic comedy collection.

Aaarrrgh! With the exception of four episodes in the first disc (I've seen "Be On Time"), I've already seen all these episodes! I'm tired of Ozzie and Harriet episodes being released on DVD only to have them turn out to be the small handfull of Ozzie and Harriet episodes I've seen dozens of times before! They just keep releasing the same old episodes over and over again! For crying out loud! There are 435 episodes of this series! Certainly they can find different ones to release on DVD!!!!
