The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet David's 17th Birthday

[@toddcharry]

"Ask her once more and she's mine". lol Ricky had some good lines in this show.

[@calvinjackson8110]

David's face and voice is so sobering and reflective. He must have gone down memory lane looking at his past hundreds of times with these videos looking at himself, his brother and his mother and father as they all were. What a gift. To be able to watch the actual past as it was and as they looked at that time!

[@kosmokritikos9299]

He seemed nearly normal.

[@DEB781]

David and Rick, they sure were great men, so cute and likeable , real gentlemen! Great role models

[@jerid2998]

I was born in 1952 so way to young to watch these wonderful shows. I've discovered them on KZbin and love watching the boys grow up and enjoying their parties, kids sure had good parties especially the dancing.

[@davidbrown8303]

My 17 birthday was 1972.if he was 17 in the mid 50s it's no wonder why he is no longer around. I would give anything to be 17 again and my mom and dad still be alive. You don't know what you have till it's gone.

[@denieledwards6893]

AGREED.

[@kosmokritikos9299]

He could still be around, he'd just be extremely old, but much younger than that dancing comedian acrobat star, Doc Von Duke, of the Doc Von Duke show, Who is still lively, dancing and singing and doing acrobatics and was born 10 years before David Nelson.

[@Eve_Y]

He would be 88 today and 82 when you wrote the comment. if it wasn’t for cancer he very much could’ve been alive today.

David and Rick ... many thanks for being here. Ozzie and Harriet, we miss you. Jeff Aitken

Ozzie, Harriet, Dave and Rick are all rode that glory train and heaven is a better place for them being there!

[@milescoleman271]

Linda Moore Good thing that the Nelsons were normal, unlike what you find in family oriented entertainment of this age.

[@karenmallonee3867]

Linda Moore, I couldn't agree with you more! 🌠

[@rebeccadavis7219]

huh...…..hope they do not believe in fairy tales

[@willardarmbruster8111]

Ozzie may have missed the train. In his autobiography he claimed he was an atheist his entire life.

[@kosmokritikos9299]

@@willardarmbruster8111 He claimed that, but it turns out that he was lying about it. In fact, he was one of those Islamics and practiced the ritual of Rahmadon on a daily basis and would only consume a diet of Hillala meats and goat's yogurt. All that meat and yogurt killed him in the end.

[@sunshinecoastrealestatepho9970]

So so nice to see these wonderful reminders of the good days of the USA. no school shootings etc. Such a terrible terrible shame

[@JamaicaQueen-d4c]

❤ I'm glad I found this show didn't watch it in my days,I just found this show this year and I love it I watched it Once now I'm watching again I think I missed some of the movies so I'm watching it again I love it they are beautiful beautiful family

[@ellywinterquist7665]

I loved to watch this show!!! I miss those days, when life was way slower than it is today. There were real family connections, and spending time with the entire family. In our family we got together lots, I sure miss my family that has now passed away... People need to let each other know they love them while they are alive not just when they have passed away...

[@timklein3962]

What a great episode; this whole family was pure talent !!!

[@julieventura2657]

I really enjoy this show thank you for sharing

[@jesmelric]

+Julie Ventura Glad you enjoyed :)

[@karenmallonee3867]

Loved this episode, but I am in tears. It made it hit home that this beautiful Nelson family is no longer here. Like David said at the beginning, "we are on the Lord's time". You are all truly loved & missed, & and once again, all together. I am a huge fan of Rick & Kris's children...I know all of you would be so proud. They are kind, loving & respectful...oh ya, and very talented too, boy! I don't know anything about Dave's family, but I can bet they are quite the same. God Bless you all!!! ❤️

[@deborahrotondo7792]

Love this family , so funny, great stuff, fun to watch.

[@headbangerbunny]

this was a really cute episode with a nice surprise at the end of getting to hear ricky sing :)

[@lindyloftin]

Thank you CP for a nice tribute to David and the rest of "our" family.

[@Pinkittykat42]

I really love watching the Nelsons, this show presents decent family values, clever, classy and a talented family!

[@geraldmckillip5594]

Those TV shows of the Fifties were the best , God Bless ......

[@sweetitis]

If you saw me right now you’d see a 72 year old man with happy tears in his eyes …. Whew

[@josephcostello695]

Sad they are all gone. Grew up on the last few years of the shows first run and then in reruns.

[@frankburns8946]

And Ricky gets to sing!!!

[@superkat460]

The entire family is united and aboard the glory train. Fans miss them all especially Teen idol Ricky. He could sing all genres. His music is ageless.

[@kosmokritikos9299]

No. They are on the train that runs from Mainz to Düsseldorf. I saw them on the DB ICE.

[@sharrongregory5695]

Memories are the best.

[@rr7firefly]

Ricky had such a quick wit. The lines he was given gave him a comic edge.

[@Redeemed1951]

@Redeemed1951 As long as their show airs on u-tube they will always live . I feel like a little boy again while I watch it.

[@jeprice08]

19:19 - 19:28 I know it’s too late, but this popped into my head a few hours ago: DAVID: Is it over yet? HARRIET: What, son? Your life or the film? DAVID: If necessary, both!

[@Redeemed1951]

@jesmelric I just like the show, they were a class act family. It would have been nice to grow up in a family like the Nelson's. Bill Miller from East Liverpool, Ohio. March 12, 2012. My life goes by soooooo quickly........

[@PinkBow0676]

OMG LOL When Ozzie and Thorny were fighting over who was gonna give the horn to David reminds me of teenagers fighting over a baseball bat. LOL

[@JamaicaQueen-d4c]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I I love this show

[@miadrake333]

Boy, David sure did look like his father.

[@jesmelric]

@elmerhdga I love the Nelsons, and enjoy sharing with others who appreciate them as I do :)

[@rivaridge7211]

Such wise words from David Nelson. Cheers and thanks! P.S. Didn't "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" have the best laugh track ever?

[@lindaeasley5606]

It seems David looked alot like Ozzie and Rick resembled Harriet

[@kosmokritikos9299]

Neither of them looked like anyone.

[@ValleyoftheRogue]

Yep. David had Ozzie's eyes and forehead. Rick had Harriet's mouth, and both of them had Harriet's nose, obvious in profile.

[@Lava1964]

Curiosity compelled me to look this up: The actress who played Sally (Sally Fraser) was born in 1932 so she was actually close to being 21 in 1953 when this show was made. I didn't think she was 16.

[@wallyplumstead614]

Thanks!

[@michaelciccone2194]

There is nothing about this wonderfull family attending Church....it is all dances, malt shop, card games and bowling. Cannot forget Thorny !

[@kosmokritikos9299]

They did not go to a church. As Islamics, they attended weekly services at their local Hollywood mosque. They celebrated the Rahmadon regularly and only consumed Hillala meats and goat yogurt. They tried to convert Thorny, but he would have nothing to do with it. He said that he thought it was a silly idea.

[@veronicagravendijk4685]

Watching this makes me feel old

[@MrUhwoody]

Where can I get a hat like Ricky's? Nice rock n roll gospel tune.

[@slmacph]

Poor Ricky wound up boarding "the glory train" years too early. Hopefully he truly believed in the Master he was referring to in that song.

[@leonardmustard8365]

Ricky was my favorite person in this life time, he was my role model in this life, I sadly miss 💔 *Ricky Nelson for ever*

[@cmroszczyk1]

Didn't you hear what David said in the interview? God has a Time for us to go. Ricky didn't leave this world too soon or too late.

I knew David had passed, but found out just today when... 1/11/11. Just a week after my Grand Daughter was born. Your so right, he is truly missed!!! 🌹 3/22/19

[@howardkerr8174]

Ricky always had the funniest lines in these shows, I wonder if he was always a bit of a comedian or if this show encouraged his funnier side. Folks remember Ricky's singing and (hopefully) acting, but David appeared in a few films too, if I remember correctly.

[@MTknitter22]

Do check out the manners, grammar, vocabulary in normal conversation. Seriously - I remember when it was like that.

Hi Jes, I wondered if you had the version of "True love Ways" that we hear at the very beginning of this video. Because I've been looking for this second version of the song, which is great too :) I wanted to ask you, just in case.. Thanks a lot !

Out of All males on 🌎 If I had a choise. David is the Most Handsome and perfect. I know this is my opinion. I was Shocked when I saw a few yrs ago he and his Lovely wife June broke marriage. I couldn't find thur utube WHY?? It's so much 'fun' to be able to research Utube for FACTS. Anyway. Such is life. Enjoy the Blessed life Abundant God has intended for we Humans. Before. Eve and Adam went their own way and Disobeyed our Creator May David and All believers. RIP until. God's Trumpet sounds. Thessalonians. Happy Holidays. Everyone who loves. peace and GOODWILL JKUSA

At some point in the series Ricky stopped being "irrepressible" and became an ordinary Nelson with no strong opinions.
