If anyone can be labelled a television auteur , that man was the inimitable Ozzie Nelson. Not only did Ozzie produce, direct, star and occasionally write the long-running (1952-66) TV sitcom The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, but he also supplied the cast from his own home! You remember the dramatis personae : ex-bandleader Ozzie Nelson, the bemused, stammering paterfamilias whose source of income was always a matter of conjecture; Harriet Nelson, nee band singer/actress Harriet Hilliard, eternally the voice of calm and reason; David Nelson, the goody two-shoes older son; and Ricky Nelson, the mildly rebellious younger son and teen singing idol. The "Adventures" were among the least adventurous in television history, ranging from Ozzie's search for a gallon of tutti-frutti ice cream to Ricky's efforts to steal a moose head from a rival fraternity house.

Nelson, Ricky, Nelson, Ozzie, Nelson, David. New. 2003 Run time: 220. Buy with confidence-Satisfaction Guaranteed! Delivery Confirmation included for all orders in the US.
The longevity of this family based sit-com, surpassed only by the animated series, "The Simpsons", is a wonderful look at middle American values in the fifties and early sixties. We got to watch David and Eric (Ricky) grow up and Ricky even start his own career following in his father's footsteps as a musician, both quite accomplished).
Any of these compilations of episodes will be worth the investment of time and money. Some of the episodes I've watched even have the old commercials as part of the installment.
