Was forced to re-do the entire kitchen when my wife noticed in a rerun that Ozzie and Harriet had our same wallpaper.

When I was a little girl I was SO in LOVE with Ricky.

I used to wait till the end of the program eagerly because he would sing a song to ME, Personally!

I know someone who grew up in the Nelson neighborhood.

He tells me that all the kids looked up to Rickey and that he was a very good tennis player — good enough to have turned pro.

We watched the show every week. A while back someone posted a thread about the Nelson house being up for sale. Ozzie was supposed to be haunting the place, but this article says he's since left:

House Remodeled, Spirit Gone

Ozzie, hope you're enjoying your birthday, no matter where you are!!

Hilarious. Did you try to tell her it had gone out of style but just recently had come to be all the rage?

Ozzie Nelson - one of America's most famous atheists.

That's what's so pernicious about both muzzies and atheists. They often pose themselves as if they were good, wholesome Americans. Not all atheists (and mooselimbs) take on the appearances of Hitler or Osama bin Laden. Those stealth atheists and islamists are the most dangerous of all since they take extreme measures to disguise their satanic core. Just when they seem harmless and trustworthy is when they'll pounce and inflict their wickedness.

Conflicting info on that. Supposedly it was in an autobiography, but others claimed there was nothing about it at all in the book.
