Customer Reviews

The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet (1952–1966).

The original show was a radio series in 1944. Remember those 30-minute T.V. programs with fake canned laughter and fake corny applause? There are about 14 seasons. Each season has about 39 episodes. Each episode has a name that was conveniently left off the six episodes I watched. Everything seems to move slowly, with unimportant or trivial problems that arise and must be resolved within 30 minutes. Stilted dialogue and people yelling at each other, right in front of him or her. Periodically, an actor will look directly into the camera to address the audience. I have seen this again in “Ferris Bueller's Day Off” (1986) and “Sixteen Candles” (1984). We watch each of the Nelsons take turns goofing something up. And then their neighbors (sort of an extended family), Joe (Lyle Talbot) and Clair (Mary Jane Croft), get to goof something up. Also watched out of order the Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet - "The Busy Christmas" (1956 and 1964). As with most adventures, Ozzie has taken on more tasks than time allows. How will this be resolved, or will it be? This production was perfect for the period, but does not hold up in retrospect.
