Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet - 70th Anniversary Tribute. 2022 by Stephen B. Whatley
A new cartoon tribute by Stephen B. Whatley, created gradually over the past few months, celebrating one of America's classic TV sitcoms, The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet ; that ran on ABC from 1952 to 1966.
The series starring the real Nelson family, Ozzie Nelson (1905-1975) and Harriet Hilliard Nelson (1909-1994) and their handsome sons actor & trapeze artist David Nelson (1936-2011) and actor and singer, Ricky Nelson (1940-1985).
Harriet Hilliard who played the mother and wife - which in real life she was - had been a singer and actress for decades before ; and the artist was charmed by her in the 1943 film The Falcon Strikes Back (1943).
Loving old Hollywood and the USA Whatley only first watched episodes via Youtube about a year or so ago. Since then through DVDs he has found the show sofunny and uplifting.
As it is the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the TV show - (it began on radio) - maybe in America they will re-run the series ; certainly more DVD releases are coming.
Here are 2 of the artist's favourite episodes :
The Newly Weds Get Settled (1961)

The Tangled Web (1966/ colour) - co-stars Audrey Christie who is brilliant as 'Barbara', Clara's friend.
