clean-scrubbed 1950s America.

In other words: Before the collapse of society and before the demise of civilization.

An important thing that must be said about a noticeable number of the WWII generation is that they somehow lost the script in raising their kids.It was members of *my* generation,the Boomers,that started the long slide toward the cesspool.

We weren’t allowed to watch it. My father disapproved of their shenanigans.

Thanks for sharing. It is a lovely home. Where there are “before remodel” and “after remodel” photos, I generally preferred the before styles.

I never realized they were an actual family. I feel pretty dumb.

You know those absurd “terrorist” watch lists they have at the airport?

Someone named David Nelson was on one of those lists, and every time anyone named David Nelson tried to fly somewhere, they were subjected to extra hassles and searches.

Even David, the son of Ozzie and Harriet, was routinely hassled every time he flew out of John Wayne Airport in Orange County, even though everyone who worked at the airport knew who he was. Many other people with common Anglo names are also on the watch lists.

Meanwhile, I’ve heard stories of Muslim women being allowed to pat THEMSELVES down at the airport. Bizarro world.

The funniest thing I ever heard Ozzie say was on their radio show.

Johnson Wax was their sponsor and the announcer did a Johnson Wax commercial about the same time in every episode.

One show the announcer said, “Ozzie, I bet you can't guess what I'm going to talk about!”

Ozzie said, “Surprise me, Waxy”

Geez, the US has gone from Ozzie and Harriet (Nelson) to Ozzie and Sharon (Osbourne)

Great showbiz phenomenon, the Nelsons - I used to listen to them all the time on radio and later watched when they moved to TV - they also made a couple of movies as a family, and you can still catch Ozzie and Harriet - sometimes still Harriet Hilliard - in movies they made when TCM shows them - they played one just a week or so ago with Ozzie leading his band and Harriet playing some college administrator, looking so young I wouldn’t have recognized her except she had star billing next to Ozzie - good times, good times......
