The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet? The title alone is amusingly absurd. Unless your idea of adventure includes picnics, hay rides, recreational horseback riding, and square dances, the word hardly applies. As revealed in this four-disc, 24-episode boxed set (the first official Ozzie and Harriet release on DVD) that cherry-picks some of the best moments from the entire 1952-66 run, this was a show so mild it made Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood look like The Wire--and that was a big part of its considerable charm.
Bandleader Ozzie, singer Harriet (nee Hilliard), and sons David and Ricky had already been on the radio for several years before the television show appeared; there had also been a feature film, Here Come the Nelsons (with Rock Hudson). The TV series, likely the only one ever to feature an entire family portraying themselves, continued where the radio show had left off, with Ozzie (who directed, produced, and co-wrote the vast majority of the episodes) as the well-meaning but sometimes confused, bumbling patriarch, Harriet his sensible but gentle foil, David the dutiful, self-effacing older son, and Ricky the mischievous youngster. Things naturally changed over the next decade and a half, as the boys grew up, went to college, and got married, but the dynamic remained essentially the same. Ozzie and Harriet was nothing if not wholesome. The parents were decent, honest folks; never dictatorial or authoritarian, they guided their sons but gave them enough space to make their own decisions, and David and Ricky were as clean-cut as they come. Of course, there was also Ricky's emergence as a singing star. Broadcast in 1957, "Ricky, the Drummer" was his musical debut (he sings and plays the skins with surprising skill), and the boxed set does a decent job of charting his growth from a somewhat wooden 16-year-old into a legitimate musician with a great band (featuring James Burton on guitar) and undeniable charisma; Rick Nelson was no Elvis Presley, but he had far more substance than other teen idols of the era.
Fourteen years is a long run for any TV show (only The Simpsons has surpassed it in the sitcom category), and by the time The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet started airing episodes in color in the '65-66 season, it had run out steam. Still, this is a classic bit of Americana that will find favor with old and new viewers alike. Bonus features include commentary on four episodes by David (the only living member from the original show) and Sam (son of Rick) Nelson, along with a 1949 radio broadcast, home movies, and more. --Sam Graham

I brought the best of the adventures of ozzie and Harriet by stanley livingston, because l enjoyed watching this classic show,having purchased the ozzie and Harriet collection by Mills creek entertainment.The stanley livingston collection also contains two coloured epsiodes, that l really wanted to see. Though the quality isnt great, its still very watchable and entertaining. what i cant understand, and lm speaking for ozzie and harriet fans, is WHY THIS SHOW HAS BEEN RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC WITH ...

This DvD had the potential of giving Ozzie and Harriet Fans episodes that had not been released in previous collections,but instead opted out for the same old same old. I was very disappointed with both the episode content and quality of the digital remastering. If you are truly a fan of this sitcom the better choice for your money is the 100 episode collection by Millcreek Production, "The Essential Ozzie and Harriet Collection".
With over 400 episodes out there I hope Millcreek will ... Read More

You can spot the wonderful Janet Waldo (sounding every bit like Judy Jetson) in "The Swami" and as Wally Cox's wife(!) in "The Fraternity Rents Out a Room."
Legendary trumpet sidemen Pete Candoli appears in "Ricky the Drummer." His countless accomplishments include the trumpet work on "The Jetsons" theme and great Disney recordings like "Tutti's Trumpets."
Several epsiodes feature "voice of Disneyland and Walt Disney World" Jack Wagner! Speaking of Disneyland, actor Don DeFore, ... Read More

This is a good overview of the Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet from it's first year to it's last. Some of the earlier episodes are of ok quality, but it is at least good to have them available.
It is also great to see some of the Nelson home videos, and listen to some great audio commentaries from David Nelson and Ricky's son, Sam.
Here's hoping that Shout Factory will release the full season sets!
This is another testament in the great clean, comedy that was 50's ... Read More
