Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet
Vintage Radio: Comedy
 Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet was a family situation comedy broadcast from 1944 to 1954. During its neat-decade run on CBS, NBC, and ABC, Ozzie and Harriet Nelson played themselves as suburban couple along with their two sons, David and Eric Nelson. Ozzie and Harriet both started their careers as musicians. Harriet joined Ozzie's band and after working for 3 years together, they were married in 1935. In 1944, Ozzie developed his own show featuring his family life with their two sons. The series was an instant hit from the outset. |

A sincere, laughter-filled comedy, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet depicts the Nelson's home life. The show centers around the goofball father Ozzie. It's greatly dramatized by Ozzie's frequent gaffes and flawed judgements. For near a decade, Ozzie and Harriet were almost an eternal part of the golden age of radio. The show, albeit enormously popular, inevitably drew to an end in 1954, as entertainment slowly drifted away from radio to television. |
