[Gaygarious]

Funny speaking of the name Nelson! Google "Louis Napoleon Nelson" and see how blacks foungt in the Confederate ranks themselves!

[jsilence418]

@Bestmanme08 So in other words, fought to keep themselves in slavery, clever!

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

@weatherboi I didn't know David had died, so I looked him up in Wikepedia.  Yes, he passed away January 2011. He had five kids ans seven grandkids.

[weatherboi]

@impCaesarAvg Yes, the date was January 11, 2011. I think you meant " He had five kids AND seven grandkids".

Hedda Hopper's son William was on the popular "Perry Mason" show; he played detective Paul Drake.

thank u for this post...as many times as I've seen tapes of this show, I had never seen Ozzie & Harriet episode!

[MattTheSaiyan]

If you ask me, Harriet Nelson was kinda hot.

[hourlynewscaster]

And, we have to remember that this was LIVE television. Anything could go wrong, but usually DIDN'T. These guys were professionals. They didn't rely on endless hours of re-editing and "sweetening" of the show AFTER the taping.

Hedda -- LOVE THE HAT!!!!

@markedwardindc

You're kidding! Minnie Pearl wouldn't be caught dead in that thing.

[jeprice08]

@fmichaelb Especially without a price tag. Just playing along with you.

what a scary hat!!!

[JudithIN410]

Hedda Hopper was known for her outrageous hats; it was her trademark.

[Hounsfield]

what a dumb hat

[Rikki0]

I miss this stuff so much. What a wonderful time that was. I wish my kids and grandkids could have gone through this type of era.

[operjxm]

Show's horrible without Arlene and Bennett......and oh that awful hat !!!

[satisfaction2000]

They are both so cute. David looked just like his father and Ricky looked more like his mom.

[sweetitis]

One of the most relaxing + enjoyable shows Ive ever watched, If only TV sitcoms had evolved from this example of how a family should treat each other and others, It was a great pleasure to grow up with this family, Good Luck David wherever you are + how I wish a comeback including kids/grandkids would air.

Thanx for posting this unusual clip. Originally broadcast in May 1956, Eammon Andrews (BBC executive / moderator of BBC WML) subs for Bennett Cerf. Kilgallen and Hedda Hopper both wrote showbiznia columns -- Dorothy concentrating on Broadway, Hedda on Hollywood. This says volumes for the game's good manners and civility that these rivals sat down together for a friendly game. Hedda's milliner should have been shot as a warning to bad hatters everywhere.
