A fan of vintage TV's take on 'Adventures of Ozzie + Harriet'
I recently watched a 2 DVD box set that was available from my local library. They were not catagorized as by season. There were 2 discs called "Primary School" and 2 called "High School." Unlike other B/W vintage family TV series that I have really enjoyed: Make Room for Daddy, Leave it to Beaver, Beverly Hillbillies, Donna Reed Show, Father Knows Best, My Three Sons - these particular shows were badly reproduced/blurry, pretty charmless, and basically irritated me - especially the character of Wally (ick). Maybe knowing that this was an actual family living out their little dream life before an adoring public, tainted things somewhat for me. The fact that Ricky went on to become some kind of teen star amazes me since his energy level is so unappealingly low. Oh well, I will give them a try again if I see another possibility at higher resolution - but NO WALLY again, ever. He has to be the most gross totally irritating unappealing nerd character ever on TV?
