Product Description |
|
America's most beloved television family returns to your living room in 100 heart-warming episodes. The television series was first broadcast in 1952. Like it's radio predecessor, it revolved around the Nelson family home, sharing the life lessons learned by the boys and their parents and letting us into the rhythm of their lives as they deal with schoolwork, competition, bullies, activities and girlfriends. Eventually the on-screen David and Ricky graduate from college and became attorneys. When the real David and Ricky wed June Blair and Kristin Harmon respectively, their spouces joined the cast of Ozzie and Harriet on television as well as in real life. Ozzie and Harriet ran for 14 years on American television, remaining on the air until 1966, but lives on as a reminder of kinder and gentler times in perpetual syndication. Truly a collector's item for fans of all ages! This special collection includes favorite episodes such as Halloween Party, The Pancake Mix and Ricky Nelson singing I'm Walkin'!

Ozzie & Harriet mega-marathon! |
I was a devout follower of this show for many years back in the mid 1980s when The Disney Channel ran this show. It came on weekday afternoons at 12:30 & weknights at 11pm & saturdays at 6pm & occasionally 11pm.
I couldn't get enough of this sitcom. It was pure escapism. Ozzie & Harriet is absolutely timeless in its appeal to fans of 1950s nostalgia & those who enjoy classic comedy at its best. I have always thought David was much more appealing & sexier than Ricky, & thought June was far more attractive than Kris. I was a Dave & June fan every bit as much as an Ozzie & Harriet fan. Just the overall chemistry between Dave & June & Ozzie & Harriet was great to watch.
I thought Ricky was so cute & adorable when he was younger on the show. I wanted to squeeze his cheeks. I thought he matured into a very attractive man as he got into his twenties. David was simply more sophisticated than Ricky, & that appealed to me greatly & still does.
One of the finest episodes in this set that comes to mind is Tutti Frutti Ice Cream - In which Ozzie has this huge craving for Tutti Futti Ice Cream & goes out in the middle of the night with Harriet to try & find a place open to buy some!
I also loved the episode, David & The Teenager, in which a young teenager (Bernadette Withers, Bachelor Father's Ginger) in Dave's building has a crush on him. Dave's married to June at this time. It's really cute! I don't see it listed in this particular set though, which amazes me as it's one of the best episodes in my opinion, & 100 shows covers alot of ground! But this is still an excellent addition to anyone's library & boasts the largest number of episodes contained in any set for this particular series.
Ozzie & Harriet is one of those shows you can watch over & over again & never tire of its magic & it's also the type of show that can even make you forget about your cares for awhile. I highly recommend this set to anyone. I'm prejudiced, I'm an admittedly huge fan of Ozzie & Harriet & have been for over twenty years when I first discovered it on The Disney Channel. Actually, when I was a teenager in the mid 1980s, my folks & I briefly lived in southern california & I recall Channel 5 (KTLA) doing a holiday retrospective of Ozzie & Harriet at christmas time that I'd never seen or heard about again. Does anyone at all have any recollection of this?
Anyway, I'd first heard of O&H then & had remembered about them a couple of years later when The Disney Channel began showing reruns, which is when I became a fan of the series.
I hope the entire series becomes available in season sets at some stage, however, I DO recall an article in an old Disney Channel magazine where David (who was doing his documentary, Rick Nelson: A Brother Remembers)was quoted as saying Ozzie was a perfectionist & critical of himself in certain episodes, which ended up being a list of about a hundred or so where Ozzie would make a note saying "Ozzie not good in this one", & those were the particular episodes that David said he didn't include in The Disney package when the reruns were showing because it was out of respect for his father, which of course is understandable, which means I would think, that maybe in a nutshell that is an answer to those of you hoping to see a complete release someday of all episodes. I myself would love nothing more than to see all 435 episodes restored & released, but am wondering if anyone can shed any potential light on the possibility of this actually coming to fruition.
Anyway FIVE BIG STARS for this OZZIE & HARRIET DVD set!!!
P.S. Now, all we need is Here Come The Nelsons on DVD. I've got the VHS, but there's a restriction against copying it to DVD, so let's hope an official release of this is in the works as well! :-) I'm a big fan of the old O&H radio series as well, needless to say :-) |

Great nostalgia! |

I ordered this set for my husband's birthday, as he is a long-time fan of this old 50s and 60s series, especially Ricky Nelson. The episodes are fun and many old commercials are included. I would recommend this for any fan of these vintage TV programs. |

Very enjoyable |
I received this as a Fathers' Day gift and have thoroughly enjoyed watching these episodes of a great old sitcom. For some reason, "Ozzie and Harriet" re-runs haven't been shown over the years as much as other programs of the era. I think I've seen every episode ever made of "Leave it to Beaver", "Dick Van Dyke Show", and "Andy Griffith Show". But almost all the episodes on this DVD set were new to me. So it wasn't a nostalgic experience so much as a discovery of a lost TV treasure.
The DVD set contains roughly a fourth of the episodes from the long-running series. They seem to be a pretty good sample distribution from 1952-1966. (A few might be out of sequence; for example, Dave is married in one episode and seems to be single again in the next). And speaking of the boys' wives, June (Dave's real and TV wife) is seen in a handful of episodes on the later discs (once or twice as a different character before settling in as June); and Kris (Rick's real and TV wife) is seen in several episodes as well. Interestingly, the two girls never appear together in any of the episodes in the set.
If the idea of a story in which the characters spend an entire sleepless night in a desperate, cravings-driven quest for tutti-frutti ice cream seems just too boring to you, steer clear of this DVD set. But if you believe that, in the hands of the right cast and writers, such an idea just might be charming and funny -- then get this set. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. |

Great DVD set |

I love this DVD series. It has some very funny episodes. Only a few of them are lacking in picture quality but some of them are 50 years old. Still a good value for the price. |

The Essential Ozzie & Harriet Collection |
If you liked Ozzie & Harriet you will LOVE this set! The quality is very good, not perfect, but I think they did a great job remastering it.
OMG I cannot get enough of this set! I completely go into another world, which is where those old shows seemed to come from. I feel like I'm back in the womb watching them!
My favorite episode, hands down, is Tutti Frutti Ice-Cream- I drive my family crazy !! Harriet, in her forties can dance up a storm! And David is sooooooooooo cute as the singing waiter. I love this family so much! Each member had their special charm :)
It's very funny to see characters change roles, as happened in those days.
My fav neighbor is Thorny (Don Defore) who went on to be stellar in "Hazel". He doesn't change but many others do. Frank Cady starts as a repairman and ends up as a doctor!!
I like the commercials as much as the shows! They are so primitive and funny. The simplicity can be appreciated in this new century of modern TV. I'm very glad they included them.
I'm so thrilled that Ozzie and Harriet is available to old TV show lovers like me.
It is simply a treasure! |
