I met Ozzie and Harriet about 1968. Ozzie was just like he appeared on his show. He was very outgoing and friendly. He had been a successful band leader and was instrumental in producing and promoting Ricks early career. Harriet was relatively quiet but lovely and elegant. It was a great privilege to meet them. Its hard to know they are all gone now. Wonderful people.

To Ozzie in 2022, I'm 59, have lived very near Ridgefield park, it is still legally known as a village. They preserve their history, don't knock down the older homes. Your childhood home still stands on Teaneck road and your brother attended the dedication ceremony in the 1990s of Ozzie Nelson drive which still is near the high school. Your legacy survives with your never met grandson Sam Nelson currently restoring every episode of your beloved creation.

I don’t know much about him, but, Ozzie seems to not have been a carbon copy of the stereotypical straight-laced Conservative - he was an avowed atheist, he enjoyed rock ‘n roll (he got heat for featuring it on his show), and he could appreciate the positive aspects to the hippy-movement. Refreshing. Also, unlike shows like Leave it to Beaver, etc. references to alcohol use and sexual predilections, although mild, were not verboten. Amazingly enough, Father Knows Best, uncharacteristically, produced a couple of pretty subversive episodes regarding women’s issues, in its early days.

Yes. Not a true pattern. They wrote comedy. They weren't the simple perfect family. Ozzie the character often had bad ideas which launched the plots. He bumbled into problems. Harriet was always coming out with dry snappy comebacks. Rick flew by the seat of his pants. David was simple, straight forward, conservative. These weren't the classic, square, nuclear family (which is how they are remembered). By the way, most shows weren't like all other sitcoms which ran for 25 mins with one idea; one theme per show. Ozzie and Harriet often had several threads per story line running per show. It must have been harder to write but it often made for a packed, fast moving show. It was funnier too because the viewer would forget about something that was going on so the comedic punch later on would blind side them thus making it surprising.

I remember "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" when I was little, but not very well. Back when the Disney Channel was still good, they brought the program back in the mid-1980s at 12:30 p.m. I couldn't wait to watch it. I still enjoy the program immensely. I then became a Ricky Nelson addict and was obsessed with his early music. Ozzie was a genius in my book. He acts in this interview exactly like I expected. What a wonderful person with high standards. Sad to know they're all gone now. Thank goodness we can still watch the show. Thanks, Ozzie, for what you did. You were a part of so many American's lives. I surely wish we had these standards today for TV shows.
