1966 - winds of change really blew. When the show ended Wally started Wal-Mart.

Color!

...however, the competition- CBS' "LOST IN SPACE" and NBC's "THE VIRGINIAN"- forced the network to move "OZZIE & HARRIET" from their established 7:30pm(et) Wednesday night time period, to Saturdays at 7:30 in January 1966. There, competition fron CBS' "JACKIE GLEASON SHOW" and NBC's "FLIPPER" just about diminished it to the point where Ozzie decided to end the series after 14 seasons [and a combined 22 years on radio and television].

Ok someone correct me if I'm wrong.... did Rick and Kris's kids ever appear on the show? Maybe it's just a misplaced memory but I could have sworn I remember seeing Tracy on the show at least once... or am I mistaken?

Compared to O&H, Leave it to Beaver is the Sopranos.

[bobluman4]

why did David have to die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tigerbuddy101]

This show has comedy that can never be replaced. :D

[weatherboi]

Sad to hear of the death of their oldest son David.

[xxxWarriorGoddessxxx]

All the Nelsons are deceased, David just died yesterday from cancer aged 74.

I dont like anyone knocking OZZIE & HARRIET Its great television. great talent and today look at the filth sex violence in movie tv etc 1952-66 this seies must had done something right. TV is suppose to be make believe . Skip Young as Wally was a great bonus 1958-66 classic tv

[omarskats3000]

that next door nieghbor chick is annoying. i bet the rose is for kirs...

[BobChippewa]

I grew up watching Ozzie and Harriet. And all I can say they did not reflect of what was going on this country! It was true fantasy and nothing else!

[hwy61media]

@BobChippewa Unless you're watching the evening news or a documentary, isn't most television "fantasy and nothing else!" I think most people watch television more for it's entertainment value than anything else.

We know all too well that dreadful things are happening around the world. People in the fifties and sixties were aware of it as well.

You are, however, entitled to your opinion.

[dotcomguy79]

@hwy61media amen i agree with you!

[ETericET]

@hwy61media News since it was taken over by the corperations is also fantacy.

[VictoriaRu29]

@BobChippewa I grew up at the same time you did, and we watched TV to be entertained and get some laughs. Why is it that people can no longer enjoy the gentle humor and family fun of those times without getting so serious? Thank God I can remember a time like this on television, these programs were sure better than the garbage they have on now! There is a reason these shows are still popular: they speak to the heart. There is always sorrow in life, we need joy and laughter to balance the tears.

[urbild]

I think Wally should be King of the Universe!

[hwy61media]

@urbild LOL. Thanks for commenting!

[markie4now]

Excellent in color. I saw an episode recently from 1966 that was in color, but it was in bad shape. It had Rick's wife, Kris Harmon, in it.

[goplh]

These shows make me want to start a family and become a homemaker.

[hwy61media]

This is a great comment. Thanks :)

[MichaelKazmar]

I had never seen an episode in color. I used to watch "Ozzie's Girls" in the 70's and that was in color. This is wonderful, though. After all the b/w shows now to see the Nelson's in color. Wow.

Thanks

[hwy61media]

I'm glad you liked it. I'm not sure but this may be the only color episode available in the public domain.

[KEREN2EARTH]

What a great series. Thank you for bringing it back! Wonder if they are having fried fish for dinner:))

[hwy61media]

You're welcome Keren. I think the Nelson's leaned toward pot roast :) I like pot roast but the fried fish was incredible! Too bad gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins :(

[Kleokhareia]

Great, thanks for posting my fav. colored version.

[hwy61media]

You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. It's the only color episode I have.
