The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet - 1952-1966

Show Summary

The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet was the real-life Nelson family on the air, with all the little adventures that an active middle-class American family might have, and two young boys growing up before their parents' and the television audience's eyes. The Nelsons lived in Hillsdale at 822 Sycamore Road. On TV Ozzie had no defined source of income, and always seemed to be hanging around the house.

In the early episodes the stories revolved mainly around the four Nelsons, with only a few friends and neighbors, most notably Thorny Thornberry, who regularly offered Ozzie bits of ill-timed advice. Later, as the boys began to date, a succession of girlfriends began to appear. In time both David and Ricky were married, and both real-life wives (June and Kris) appeared on the show.
