LOS ANGELES -- David Nelson, who starred on his parents' popular television show "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet," has died, a family spokesman said. He was 74.

David Nelson, who grew up in front of America in "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet," died Jan. 11 in Century City, Calif., of complications from colon cancer. He was 74. Nelson was the last surviving member of the Nelsons TV family: actor-bandleader Ozzie; his singing wife, Harriet Hilliard; and his teen-idol younger brother, Rick.

Instead of praising Wal-Mart for offering less expensive goods to stretched consumers, David Nelson depicted Wal-Mart as a thug on Fox News Channel’s “Cavuto on Business.” Nelson, DC Nelson Asset Management’s founder, harshly attacked Wal-Mart comparing the company to gangster Al Capone and calling it “the Antichrist” Feb. 14. Guest host Charles Payne was discussing Wal-Mart’s push to open new stores in Chicago, and argued that the city is more likely to allow the retail giant now that the recession has created a need for more sales tax revenue and new jobs. ..more (w/video)..
