I just saw this episode on ION today. It features Ricky singing "I Catch Myself Crying" and "Truck Drivin Man". Paul Hartman from The Andy Griffith Show is also in this show. This is a good one!

If it doesn't get too boring, I would like to try to do a small recap of the show each day, including the songs. If any of you would rather I didn't, please respond! Since many of the episode titles are confusing, maybe some of you could help with correcting them for us.

I checked out the episode list and this is what I believe is the correct title. If anyone has better info, please correct me:

Episode # 422 Ghost Town 12-8-1965

This show must be a 1965-66 episode judging by the songs. I would like to see an episode recap each day.

honeybea, what time did you see the show on ION? The ION channel where I live just shows infomercials and a few religious shows along with the normal ION schedule of shows.

It comes on at 9:30 am, 11:30 am and 11:00 pm Monday through Friday. The guide still says "paid programming". At 10:00 am, it's I Married Joan, 10:30am, My Little Margie, and 11:00 am, The Beverly Hillbillies. I have Time Warner cable and there are different "feeds" for different areas. I don't know exactly how many episodes they show, maybe twenty different ones and they just keep rerunning them. I taped them all long ago, but now I want to organize them with titles and hope to get some help with some of the confusing titles. This is another reason why I hope to do a small recap of the show each day.

Honeybea, by all means, discuss the episodes! Keep our board alive and thriving! :D

I like Ghost Town. It's a color episode too.

Harrietsville. One of the only times Harriet ever gets duped.

It was a fun episode and got Ozzie and Harriet out of the house.

I didn't know it was in color. They show it in black and white on ION. I bet it looks great in color with all the western scenery.

ILUVO&H would you know what season started to be all color shows? I've only got a very few of the color episodes.

The last season, (14) the whole season is in color. Those are the only color episodes.

I've seen a couple of the color episodes on b/w on some dollar dvd's and it bugged me so much. First off 'cause I knew they were really color episodes and I had them in color. And then cause everything just looked so off to me because the color was gone.

Example, take a good look at Harriet's and Clara's lips There makeup looks so odd because of the lack of color. That always bugs me.

Honeybea, I think that would be great to have recaps of your ION episodes. I will help you narrow them down if you need help identifying them, if I can. I have scrounged around the net and beyond and have gotten a few different episode guides, and have some of the episodes committed to memory.

Oh, and ILUVO&H, regarding ''Harrietsville'', LOL. My mom grew up in Harriettsville, Ohio. It is in Noble County in SE Ohio, next to Washington County [Marietta].

Well, I'm surely going to need help with the titles after seeing today's show and I really appreciate it since I'm trying to organize my epiodes as well.

Episode 233 The Other Guy's Girl 4-8-1959 (or the best I can figure out)

While looking for wrapping paper and ribbon, a wrapped Christmas present is found in the box. Everyone tries to figure out where who it came from. The Joyce Maynard character is also featured and I believe she's played by Roberta Shore. Wrong, it's Cheryl Holdridge. I am not sure about this title at all, but it's not Lost Christmas Gift. The reason I think this may be the title is both boys dated the girl and it was mentioned it was four months after Christmas, and this show was dated in Arpril or about 4 months after Christmas.

Another thing with this episode, the closing credits have nothing to do with the show as far as the characters and the real names. This may just be ION and not the show itself.

I think this is the episode that you are describing.

9.29 [303] Ozzie & Harriet:THE PEN AND PENCIL SET 12Apr61
The pen and pencil set is a Christmas gift found among some old items in
the Nelson household. Guest Cast: Cherryl Holdridge (as Joyce Maynard)
David Lweis (as Mr. Maynard) Lucy Prentis (as Mrs. Maynard)

The Pen-and-Pencil Set - The Nelsons are puzzled by a Christmas present which no one seemed to give

That's it for sure! Thanks so much. The character of Joyce Maynard was in a previous show, but I believe she might have been played by someone else. So many of the episodes don't even have descriptions, so this could be hard, for me anyway.

Honeybea, I think that would be great to have recaps of your ION episodes. I will help you narrow them down if you need help identifying them, if I can. I have scrounged around the net and beyond and have gotten a few different episode guides, and have some of the episodes committed to memory.

Oh, and ILUVO&H, regarding ''Harrietsville'', LOL. My mom grew up in Harriettsville, Ohio. It is in Noble County in SE Ohio, next to Washington County [Marietta].


Harrietsville! That's great! Maybe that one was named after Harriet's great aunt Harriet. lol

Look at that you had an O&H connection before you were even born.

Honeybe, they sure aren't showing those episodes in order are they! lol

I think the only part of Pen and Pencil Set I have seen is a box of Christmas items falling out of a closet. That is where my video tape ran out so many years ago. LOL

Way back when, on Disney O&H would air at 11pm, and I'd set my vcr to record it each it night. After all, I was in Middle School back then ! lol

Todays show was David's Almost Inlaws. Episode 283 11-23-1960.
The parents think their children are getting very serious but Ozzie and the girl's father just don't get along at all.

I really enjoy that episode--nice change of pace to see Ozzie really at odds with another guy! LOL

I like that episode too.

As Jude said, it's an interesting twist to see Ozzie not getting along with someone no matter how much either of them try.

And it has a sense of reality in it, because as soon as the pressure is off of them having to like each other they do get along. They were trying to hard to like the other that they ended up resenting eachother.

Yes that is a fun one! Boy do they sure NOT get along!:crazy:

A really unusual episode but a memorable one. Ozzie showed us something.

Today's episode: Rick, The Law Clerk 3-18-1964 episode # 381

David hires Rick as a part time law clerk. Judge Roberts pressures Dave into hiring his favorite nephew for the position unknowing that Dave has already hired Rick. This episodes also features Connie Harper, Roy Roberts, and Buck Taylor of Gunsmoke fame.

Thanks for the recap, good episode. I seem to remember Roy Roberts on a few episodes of the series.

I like that episode too.

It's hard to imagine someone not liking 'ol Oz. Now, Joe Randolph and Wally are another story. Well, I wouldn't say dislike, but they really can get on your nerves (IMHO). And both are SUCH moochers.

you would think that Joe is the dad and Wally is the son! :lol:

you would think that Joe is the dad and Wally is the son! :lol:

Don't know why I never thought of that myself but YES you would! :crazy: :lol:

Episode # 422 Ghost Town 12-8-1965

Hi Honeybea. I haven't seen this ep in a long time, but remember not caring for it much - however did go back and watch it a 2nd time . Now I remember why. I thought Ozzie was hamming it up way too much, and to me, is not a good actor. However, as a businessperson, producer, bandleader and musician he was superb, and without his magic in these areas, the show would never have lasted as long as it did.

And that scamming old geezer. Harrietsville my a$$! Just making up a new name as a new "sucker" comes along. And the way he fleeced O&H with all that nickel and diming - after that outrageous charge for the meal (VERY VERY TACKY - he invited them, remember) they should have told him to forget the whole thing and left. Wonder if he's a long lost relative of Wally's :crazy: maybe not- even Wally wasn't this dishonest.

Ricky singing was nice but these songs weren't my favorites of his.

While I just love the series as a whole, I have to be frank - there are a few eps - 3 or 4 - I don't really care for - and this was one of them. But then there are the one's a I REALLY REALLY LOVE - like David & The Teenager and Rick's 21st Birthday. There are at least 15-20 eps I feel this way out. (There'd probably be more but I only have 174 distinct eps)

Rich I totally understand! There's some I don't care for either, mostly the ones with Clara. She's too whiney for me. Some others I don't like are with Kris, I just always liked June better, Kris seemed to much like a child and it's understandable since they married when she was so young and she started on the show.

June was definitely a better actress than Kris & has Harriet's excellent sense of timing. I enjoy her a lot too. But there are times I kinda enjoy 'ol screechy voiced Clara. Watch The Tangled Web & let me know what you think of "'ol screechy" in that one:lol:!! I personally enjoyed this one. It's her hubby, the most annoying Joe Randolph, Grand Exalted Mystic Poobah of the Moochers, who I could live without. Wally and The Tigers too.

This brings up another question, who do you like best, Joe or Thorny? I never cared for Joe as much as Thorney, even though Thorney was nerve racking at times.

This brings up another question, who do you like best, Joe or Thorny? I never cared for Joe as much as Thorney, even though Thorney was nerve racking at times.

I like Thorney much better, despite the fact that he has such a "quiet" wife:lol: He's also nowhere's near as much a mooch.

I don't know why but I like Joe better. I think because with Thorny it was just Oz and Thorn paling around. I liked Oz with all his buddies. Joe, Darb, Doc Williams.

I also like the episodes with Barry Livingston. There are a few of the neighborhood I didn't care for like Joel and the red headed boy.

I like both June and Kris. Though June always seems aloof to me. A couple of my favorite Kris episodes are Kris the helpless female, at least that's what I call it. And Kris goes to college. I also like the one where Kris gets tired of the Frat boys taking advantage of her having her doing their laundry, mending, and all sorts of favors for them. Like buying gifts for their girlfriends, baking cakes for them, So she sabatages a whole thing of laundry on them when she gets fed up with them, then feels really bad when she learns they put on a whole dinner in her honor to thank her for all she's done for them.

June was more scheming to get Dave to do the things she wanted, like go on trips and buy lamps. lol I guess in that way she was a lot like Harriet as well. lol
Kris was much more insecure, more whining about Rick paying attention to her.

I loved Wally, but Ginger annoyed me a lot. I think they really needed Wally to be the instigator and boisterous one since Dave and Rick were so mellow, low key and quiet. They needed a wise guy type. Ricky filled the spot when he was young, but as he grew up into Rick, you can see him retreat into himself.

One thing I like about the older shows is that they have so many recurring characters, family and friends who just pop up whenever needed. The cast is small but they have a large community of characters to liven things up. Nowadays it seems like they just keep adding more and more regular characters flooding the show with 'stars' of the show and losing focus on who/what the show is suppose to be about. On Ozzie and Harriet for example (lol) it's still a show that revolves around the 4 Nelsons but they have like 10 or more different characters who weave in and out of the show effortlessly as needed and don't take attention or focus from the main characters. It's like a real little neighborhood.

I agree a character like Wally is needed to contrast against the nice guys David and Rick. Wally's a necessary evil I suppose.

June really appealed to me over Kris because she seemed a bit more intelligent and crafty...and yeah - she sure did seem to know how to maneuver David right around her little finger.

The point you make abt the characters weaving in & out is a good one; yes, this does seem to happen and IT DOES make the show seem like a nice little neighborhood. Sycamore Ave. rocks! :thumbsup:

There is also an episode late night on the weekends, so I have three episodes today.

The Randolph's Niece 1-25-1962 episode # 325

Clara invites Rick and his parents to dinner hoping to hook up Rick and her niece, played by Linda Evans, who went by Evanstad at the time. Rick has been trying to get a date with another girl, but they just can't seem to get their schedules together. She's played by Cheryl Holdridge.

Any Date In A Storm 3-7-1963

Dave gives Rick 4 tickets for free dinners at a new restaurant. Since Wally's and Rick's girls are at the cabin,and the tickets are only good for one night, they ask two other girls, but due to a misunderstanding, the girls return and they have to end up taking both girls to dinner, separately, but the same night.

I can't find the title for this one, so any help would be appreciated:

Harriet catches a cold and stays in bed. Ozzie and Darby had planned to play golf, but Ozzie tell Darby he's staying home and plans to fix Harriet breakfast in bed. When he takes it to her, she' sleeping, so he eats the breakfast. He makes breakfast again, but she is still sleeping so he decides to go to the driving range. When he returns, he finds Darby and wife Sally fixing breakfast for Harriet, who is at the table eating. Ozzie gets upset with Darby since it was his idea.

Edited, I found it!

Breakfast For Harriet 3-7-1963 Episode 406

There is also an episode late night on the weekends, so I have three episodes today.

I have these three - all very enjoyable - I believe the last is called Breakfast for Harriet.

Looking forward to seeing the last one......

Yes, I believe the name IS Breakfast For Harriet, but I can't seem to find the episode number and date though. I will try to find it later.

It's in the 13th Season somewhere I believe

Those were all good episodes over the weekend.

I remember I didn't like Linda Evans hair in any of the episodes she appeared in on O&H. I also think she looked much better 25 years later on Dynasty.
Not that that has anything to do with anything. lol


Breakfast for Harriet was the first episode of Ozzie and Harriet I ever taped; way back in 1985.

You're so right about Linda Evans, she did look better on Dynasty. I think she looked nice on The Big Valley, but the hair was awful.

The Petition 1-6-1965 episode 401

Today's episode reallly has two stories. The title comes from Harriet getting a petition for wives day. The reason she started the petition was to try to get a woman's signature needed for comparision in Dave's law practice. The wives day petition was a huge success though.

Hayride 3-11-1964 Episode 372

After hearing about Rick and his friends going on a hayride, Clara and Harriet decide it would be fun to do the same. Well, Joe and Ozzie would rather play cards with their friends. Harriet and Clara decide to go to a drive in movie while the boys are playing cards at Ozzie's house. Ozzie and Joe plan a hayride and then go to the drive in to surprise the girls.

Thanks for the recap. I haven't seen that episode for some time. I'm still looking for " The Desk Photo" episode. My daughter taped over it.

Thanks for the recap. I haven't seen that episode for some time. I'm still looking for " The Desk Photo" episode. My daughter taped over it.

It's been a while since I saw that one too. I've done SOME organizing of my DVD's and tapes, and haven't found that one yet, but I'm sure I have it. About half of mine don't have menus, so now I have to do that.:(

I like The Petition. I always call it Wives Day. About half way through the show you forget all about the original concept about the forgery. That subject is closed and ended and a whole new situation arises.

As honeybea said it really is two episodes in one.

I like the wives day half best.

that's a funny one! :)

Kris, The Little Helper 1-5-1966 Episode #424

Kris is always doing little chores for Rick's friends and feel like she's not appreciated, so she plans revenge unaware that the friends are giving a party to thank her for all she does for them.

That episode is pure Kris. I remember it well.

I like that episode too. Now that you mention it, it is classic Kris.
There seem to be many more episodes with Kris as a central character to the plot, or the plot revolving around her than there is with June.

I don't think June appeared in a couple seasons.
I only know of one episode that Kris and June appereared in together.

There's also one episode in the 14th season where you can tell June is pregnant. Which one it is I can't remember off the top of my head, but she is walking through the living room with a big coat in front in of her but you see her from the side and can definitely tell she's pregnant.

It's to bad they didn't write in the grandkids. They could have made history again, what other show had as regulars parents, children and grandchildren? lol

I'm sure Oz coupld have written some nice episodes with Ozzie and Harriet as the doting grandpaprents, or afraid they were interfering with their child rearing advice.

That episode is pure Kris. I remember it well.

I remember this ep too & it is a nice one. It came on a DVD set that was particulary cheesy - it didn't even list the ep titles - I had to look them up afterwards - but it was still good in the sense that I got 9 new eps from it.

The Nelsons Decide To Move 11-11-1959 ep.250

Ozzie gets frustrated at all the small repairs he has to do around the house and thinks about selling it and moving to an apartment. However, a dream or nightmare, soon makes him have second thoughts. Howard McNear as Floyd of The Andy Griffith Show makes an appearance.

Edidted to correct title, date, ep.

Another great episode, the Nelsons decide to move. And if you notice, and if I remember correctly, the apartment set is later used for Dave and Junes apartment.

They have all their stuff shoved into this little tiny apaprtment. And the swim toys!

Isn't Clara trying to get dibs on their dining room table too?

I haven't watched that one in a long time.

Honeybea, you're bringing back so many great memories fo these shows, I will just HAVE to get out the old tapes and watch all my episodes again.

That should keep my busy for a LONG time. lol

I thought that was Dave and June's apartment, but wasn't positive. Yes, Clara had her mind set to get that dining set for sure. I was trying to recall just how many episodes ION shows, the best I can remember is maybe a little over twenty or so. I have them all on tape, but didn't label them. That's another project for me to do.

Is that all? Only about 20 episodes they show. Wow what a shame, 20 out of 435.

The Nelsons Decide To Move is another of my favorite eps-def in the top 20. Those dreams that Ozzie has are a hoot and the photography is so well done. Never knew "Floyd" from Mayberry sold real estate on the side.:lol: And the ending is very touching. It added a very charming element to the ep IMO. This was another of the very first Ozzies I got on a Madacy VHS set back in '97.

The Nelsons Decide To Move or The Apartment, which is the correct title or is it one of those that has two titles? Sometimes the titles are so confusing. I thought it was The Apartment for sure since neither of the boys was married yet.

It is a shame they only have a handful of the episodes to show. I sure hope someone releases some of the early seasons next.

I did a little research and The Apartment isn't the correct title because David was married before that episode. I've corrected it in the original thread.

Dave's Golf Story 3-8-1961 episode # 299

Wally is with Dave when he shoots a hole in one. Wally encourages Dave to write a story about it to be published in the school paper, but Dave isn't sure he wants to. Wally writes the story and makes it sound like he's the one that did the deed. Meanwhile, Dave has second thoughts and writes the story. When Dave finds out what Wally did, he and Ricky cook up a scheme to get even with Wally. Ginger is very good in this episode.

I just watched this episode yesterday.

That was a good story. The girl who played the editor of the paper, Suzie had been on the show several times before in the earlier years. One episode where Ozzie and Harriet thought Dave was eloping when he was about 17.

I watched this episode again yesterday as well! :lol: Another one of those Wally really is a sneaky rat episodes! :brent

Dave, The Worrier 12-1-1965

I'm not 100% positive about this title, but believe it's right. Dave has been working very hard, so June and his parents convince him to go to a cabin for a few days to rest. This leaves Ricky in charge of the law office. Dave just cannot rest and get his mind off work and ends up going back to the office in the middle of the night, only to find Ricky there, along with his parents.

This is the only show I can remember with Kris and June in the same episode except for the Christmas scene with Ricky singing. I always wondered if maybe they just didn't get along with each other.

Ricky The Milkman 12-14-1961

Ricky and Wally help out a friend for a few days with his milk delivery route. Ricky meets a nice girl and yet the next time he sees her, she's very unfriendly and he can't figure out why. The friend needs help once again and Ozzie has to take over since everyone else is going skiing. This includes a very funny dream sequence. This episodes also features Susan Oliver.

Nice episode and a nice recap. I look forward to your daily posts.

Dave, The Worrier 12-1-1965

I'm with you Honeybea, this is the only episode I've seen that Kris and June are in the same episode.

I'm trying to think now, which episode is it, I know it's a color episode. Where June is walking with Hariet in the living room, has her coat in front of her, but you can clearly tell from the side that June us pregnant.

Now a days instead of just having to hide the cabin phone from Dave, June would be having to hide hsi cell phone, his lap top, his blackberry...lol

And really in that episode can they have Kris being any more juvinile? Here she is suppose to be being a fill in secratary at a law office and she's playing the radio and dancing with her friend in the office.

Rick the Milkman.

I like that episode too. I seem to say that alot! lol When did milkmen stop exsisting? Anyone know?

Wally and Rick chasing this woman all around town. And here it is she thinks he's married with children.
He also sings Everlovin' in the episode.

The girl, honeybea, you gave her name, what would I know her from.
She has a very distinct voice.

I remember seeing June in the living room with the big coat on, but don't recall the story. Also, another episode where you know she's pregnant is when David is working at home, I believe. She has on a big housecoat a lot of the time.

Kris always seemed immature to me, but I guess it was her age and comparing her to June. June had done some acting before O & H ut I doubt Kris had since she was only 17 when they married..

Susan Oliver, in The Milkman, she did a lot of shows, but for some reason the one thing that I remember well is her being in The Hank Williams Story, Your Cheatin Heart as Audrey Williams. She was also on the soap, Days Of Our Lives a long time ago.

Ricky, The Host 11-22-1962 episode # 342


Ricky meets a new coed and wants to spend some time alone with her without Wally and the other guys around. He decided to make a meal at his home for her, but Wally gets wind of it and it doesn't make for a quiet evening for just the two of them.

I watched that one a few weeks ago on Mill Creek set--I think they mis-titled it on the set as "Rick's Dinner Guests". A fun episode with Wally the moocher being his mooching self :lol:

Yes honeybea, Susan Oliver was on Days Of Our Lives for a bit as Laura Horton. And ILUVO&H, probably way before your time, but she was on Peyton Place as Ann Howard. She also was on an episode of The Andy Griffith Show, where she played a gorgeous prisoner and Andy and Barney were both a little smitten with her. She distracts Barney and tries to escape, just as Andy comes in the door and catches her.

The Little House Guest 3-22-1961 episode # 286

Little Barry Martin stays with the Nelson's when his mother goes to the hospital to have a baby. Barry really wants a baby brother, but it's a girl. Before they tell him, Ozzie and the boys try to find ways to show him that a little sister would be just as good or better than a brother. There's a cute scene with Ricky and his teddy bear. Barry comes though and gets a gift for his new sister.

Nice episode but Dave and Rick look out of place lying in their single beds.

One of my favs. I love little Barry. He's so cute, even with his lazy eye.

He wants to name his new sister George. As I said in the Barry thread, he was my favorite of the neighborhood kids.

I forget if it was on Barry or Stanley's website, but they had a photo gallery and included is a photo of one of them with Ricky.

I'm just not big on the kiddie themes per se but I do remember there being some nice moments in the ep. But in the scheme of things, when there are SO MANY O & H ep vibrant in my mind, like Wally's Traffic Ticket, Rick The Drummer, Trip Trap, The Fraternity Rents A Room, that I could and have watched at least 12 times (and I could go on & on here - there are about another 15 I really really love not to mention the many more I like) that one that one was OK to me (and of course this is just my taste folks - as in some people like the color green while others flip for red) - just doesn't send me. Barry was a good child actor and I really liked him in My Three Sons. But Billy Mumy and Ron Howard were my very favorite child actors from the 50s and 60s. My ALL TIME FAV from any era (and an exception to the kiddie theme rule) was Shirley Temple. Love her love her love her. She set the gold standard IMHO.

The Bachelor 4-16-1958 epiosode # 199

John is a bachelor friend of the Nelsons and the Darbys. After attending a wedding, Harriet is determined to show John how wonderful married life can be. John agrees and says he wants to get married. Ozzie and Harriet plan a wedding at their home for him and when they tell John it's all arranged for October 8, their anniversary, John tells them it's too soon, he doesn't have a bride yet. Harriet insists a wedding WILL take place on that date at their house, and there is a wedding after all. Ozzie and Harriet renew their vows instead of John getting married.

The episode was in 1959, so it would have been closer to their 24th anniversary than their 22nd as used in the show. I remember the date, October 8th very well, it's my anniversary too, not the year though.

You mean you weren't married in 1935 honeybea? :lol:

You mean you weren't married in 1935 honeybea? :lol:

Sometimes it feels like I've been married that long.:lol:
Actually, it will be 41 years this year, but I did marry VERY young.:)

Weekend Vacation 6-15-1960 episode #278

Ozzie wants a weekend alone with Harriet at the lodge, but she doesn't know this and invites Clara and Joe to go also. Ozzie decides they won't go since The Randolphs are going, but they decide not to go if the Nelsons aren't going. Both couples decide to go alone since the other couple isn't going, so they all end up at the lodge and Joe and Ozzie get mad with each other about it. Clara and Harriet try to smooth things over and finally it works out.

This is not a favorite of mine, I guess it's just too much "Clara" for me.

I agree, Clara is best taken in small doses.

Well with Clara you can see why Oz wouldn't want to spend the entire weekend with them. lol sorry Clara.

I always thought it odd that Harriet and Clara were such good friends. They are nothing alike, and not much in the way of intellectual stimulation.

Harriet just seemed like someone who would be around someone she could talk to about current events not just gossip with.

Though a lot of the time Harriet just seemed amused by Clara and her ditziness.

Just saw it again this morning on my Mill Creek Set. Now everyone be sure to get your newest up-to-date 1958 Kodak camera at the Kodak Camera Carnival nearest you:lol:!

A nice enuf ep, with the Nelsons and Darbys conspiring to get John Archer all married off. Different theme than many of the other eps. With all their conspiring to match make for John, he seems to find someone very naturally at the very end. Sort of a general lesson: when you try to force something it often DOESN'T happen.

This is not a favorite of mine, I guess it's just too much "Clara" for me.

IMO "Ol Screechy Voice" (aka Clara) is an acquired taste - you either really like her or can't stand her. To me she's always been kinda fun; just the right amt. of daffy - its her hubby - Joe Randolph who works my nerves. I thought Clara was particularly fun in The Tangled Web. It's a good thing the eps are only abt 22-25 mins cause I don't think they could have kept up the charade much longer in The T.W.!

See, that's the beauty of Mary Jane Croft.....she can from daffy to snobby in a minute's notice (see Audrey Simmons on The Lucy Show) :lol:

Rich, I agree with you about Joe. Thorney had his faults, but Joe can really get on my nerves fast. His son that played on Beaver was the same way. I guess they weren't acting, they really were this way.

I found this site and there's 22 episodes you can watch online. It's a small screen and I'm sure most of you have seen or have them but in case you haven't:

Yeah, I've always liked Mary Jane. But she is one of those types you either REALLY LIKE or REALLY HATE. (Me likes!!!!) And BTW she was A HOOT in my favorite I Love Lucy ep "Return Home From Europe" where she plays a new mother nursing her baby right along Lucy and "The Big Cheese" LOL!

Rich, I agree with you about Joe. Thorney had his faults, but Joe can really get on my nerves fast. His son that played on Beaver was the same way. I guess they weren't acting, they really were this way.

Yep, to me Joe's funny like a migrane! He was particularly irritating in Ozzie A Go Go. Now Doc Williams is my fav of Ozzie's buddies - & I really liked Thorney too. And Don was also gr8 as Mr. B with EST-like maid Hazel--who elevated pushiness to a fine art.

Sweet of you to post this Honeybea, because you're right...you just never know. Unf. I have all of these. But thanks again...and Happy Viewing! Don't forget to see Wally's Traffic Ticket! It's a gas!

A Letter Of Recommendation 10-14-1964 episode 385

Wally decides to get a job and enlists The Nelsons to write a letter of recommendation for him. Since they are all kind of hesitate to do it, Wally writes himself a glowing letter and gets David to sign it. This leads to a possible job offer from a client of David's and it worrys David since the letter isn't very accurate.
All works out and Wally lands a perfect job suited to him at the end. The job couldn't have lasted long though, since this is the first and last time we see Wally working at any job.:lol:

Rick Gets Even 12-16-1959 episode 256

A snooty girl that Rick has tried to get a date with hits David's car, when Rick borrowed it. She wants to pay for the damage but has no money and want to work off the debt by doing errands and such for Rick. He finally agrees and really makes her work for him. She also excepts a date to a dance with him after the accident, but soon cancels with phoney sounding excuses.
He fianally finds out that she canceled the date because she couldn't pay for a new dress for the dance and Harriet saves the day.

Little Handprints In The Sidewalk 4-19-1962 episode 335

The slab of concrete in the walk that has the boys handprints needs to be replaced. Ozzie and Harriet hate to get rid of it or have it destroyed, and try to move it to various places without any luck. They eventually save the slab.

Little Handprints is another one of those later season shows that flashback to an early season episode.

Ozzie's friends in terms of likeability

1. Doc
2. Thorny
3. Darby
4. Joe

there was another guy who was seen for maybe two seasons after Thorny but before Joe, correct? Butch?? Haven't seen enough of him to make a fair judgment.

The Letter of Recommendation

I like that one a lot. Classic Wally all the way.
He ends up getting a job he's totally unsuited for. He has every Nelson even Miss Edwards helping him out. He's made a mess of everything.

I like Ricks description of Wally.. Has a hide of a Rhinoceros. Hie job was very well suited for him. In customer relations at the Emporium.

I also like when all the Nelsons are sitting around trying to figure out just what to say in this letter.

They get as far as To whom it may concern, and can't think of a thing positive to say.


The only other time I remember seeing Wally with a job was in Ricks Raise.
Wally was working at the malt shop and after a couple he decides he wants to ask for a raise which gets Rick thinking about his own need for a raise.
Even in that job, the Nelsons need to help him out. It takes 3 Nelsons to finish up an order for Wally after he runs out after Ginger.

I must be alone. I like Joe.

I like Joe and Ozzies friendship too. They are great buddies but it doesn't mean that they don't get on each others nerves at times or get irritated by the other. So in that sense it's quite realistic. They have plenty of little tiffs to make their relationship believeable.

1. Doc
2. Thorny
3. Darby
4. Joe

there was another guy who was seen for maybe two seasons after Thorny but before Joe, correct? Butch?? Haven't seen enough of him to make a fair judgment.

I can't remember his name either, but he's in at least two episodes, one being Top Gun.

Never said I didn't like Joe! :)

Butch Barton, played by Gordon Jones. I can't remember many episodes with him either.

Butch Barton, played by Gordon Jones. I can't remember many episodes with him either.

Neither can I but I know he was in Road Race.

Frank Cady was really good as Doc Williams, Lyle Talbot was the perfect Joe but Thorny was really excellent in my opinion. Thorny could steal a scene with his wise guy attitude. Darby had his moments also like in " The Christmas Tree Lot" where he tries to buy a tree for 50 cents.

The Bowling Alley 3-27-1953 episode 26

Ozzie pretends a cold coming on to keep from going to the Emporium with Harriet and Mary Dunkle to return some items. Just like most men I guess, he doesn't like returning items. After they leave, Thorny comes and convinces him that they should go bowling since they are giving away a case of Ginger Ale for the high scorer. After their game, Thorny spots Harriet and Mary at the alley and the boys make a fast getaway before being spotted by the two women. Their secret would be safe except for the case of ginger ale which shows up the next day and Ozzie calling everyone, even Tenefly NJ to tell them about his win. Ozzie confesses the story to everyone, including Harriet, who doesn't have the heart to admit she bowled a few games too and the high score may be hers. Some funny comments by a young Ricky in this episode. I like this one, mainly because it's the early years and the boys are younger.

I thought originally there was only maybe 20 episodes, but now I think it's a little more than 30. I can recall at least 7 more shows to show. This was number 22.

Honeybea, hopefully there is even more than 30!

Top Gun 4-02-1958 episode 197, some say 196

The little neighborhood boys are watching Tex Barton, a cowboy hero in Of couse, Ozzie begins to brag about his own fast draw. Tex Barton is coming to a local super market opening and the boys want Ozzie to be one of the contestants to challenge Tex and hopefully win a tent for their club.

Ozzie tried to back out claiming yard work and chores and the boys do the chores, so Ozzie has to enter the contest and he loses. This episodes features Doc and Butch, and Butch uses stratergy to win the tent for the boys.

Stanley Livingston and Tony also appear in this episode. Tony was also in one of the Christmas shows, but I don't remember him being one of the boys in any other episodes.

Ricky sings, "Believe" and this is the first show I remember with Ricky singing, that James Burton appears, who, in my opinion was/is one of the three greatest guitar players ever.

Tony was in quite a few shows. I believe I read somewhere that his father worked on the show.

10 mile hike I know he was in also. And the episode Freddy. Freddy is one of my favorites.

Tony is going out of town, and asks Ozzie to tend to one of his many pets for the weekend. Tony leaves the pet outside the Nelson home as the Nelsons are out. Ozzie comes home to find a kitten at the doorstep, he takes in Freddy the kitten. Chaos ensues as the poor little kitten gets out of the house and is missing. Ozzie the Nelsons and all the neighbors, Darb, Sally, Joe and Clara are out at night in their jammies looking for Freddy, Finally Freddy is found under the house. They have to call the fire department to get him out.

Ozzie then tries to get to sleep, it's after midnight now, and this bull frog keeps croaking keeping him from falling asleep. Ozzie goes out again, find the frog and takes him to a pond. Finally Ozzie gets some sleep. Next morning Tony comes back to pick up Freddy. Ozzie hands the boy the box he found at the doorstep with the kitten in it. Tony opens it up and says This isn't Freddy! Freddy was a Bull Frog! Ozzie takes Tony to the pond and they pick up his Bull Frog Freddy. Tony also adopts the kitten.

I remember the episode about Freddy, but for some reason, don't remember Tony. I do remember reading that his father was a crew member on the show.

Tony also was the kid that got the message mixed up in Ricky The Drummer.

He's the one who told Harriet that the band wanted Ricky to sit in and play drums. Look at that, Tony's immortal! He has a place in Rock n Roll history. The show that launched s Rock n Roll Legend!

The Orchid And The Violet 4-03-1953 Episode 27

Ozzie heads down to the florist in dirty clothes after having played baseball with the boys. He traditionally sends a bunch of violets to Harriet on this day. When the florist sees Ozzie's clothes and how he has to scrap up enough change for the cheap violets since he left his wallet home, he decides to do a good deed and have the more expensive orchids delivered in it's place. Ricky is with him and he's dirty too, so it's easy for the florist to assume they are poor. Harriet is surprised by the gift and so is Ozzie when he sees the flowers are orchids. He believes they were sent by his old rival, Cranston Poole, a wealthy playboy type.

This episode has Thorney and as usual, he's "stirring the pot". This drives Ozzie and Thorney to drink, MILK of course. You can figure out the out come from the beginning when Harriet sees the orchids and Ozzie starts about Cranston Poole sending the orchids.

Another first season show and I really enjoy them the best. I wish I had more of the early years. Maybe with the next release, they will add a few.

"Another first season show and I really enjoy them the best. I wish I had more of the early years. Maybe with the next release, they will add a few. "

It does seem as though the dvd relseases especially the Nelson Authorized ones concentrate more on the later episodes than the earlier ones.

I wonder if they somehow think they are more marketable; maybe because of Ricks singing and his teen idol status at the time.

I think Ricky's singing has a lot to do with the later episodes being shown. Unfortunately, when he sang at the end of the show, it always gets deleted. That may be due to legal rights or something, I don't know. It's fun to watch the boys when they were young and growing up. Once they married, the show wasn't centered around them as much.

I liked Dave and Rickys bantering when they young. Their sibling rivalry, smart aleck remarks to eachother.

Oh yeah. Yeah. Oh Yeah. Yeah.

"I don't mess around, boy!" :lol:

You are so irrepressable!:lol: I like the later yrs more than the first two, but there are a couple of cute eps from the beginning. One I particularly liked was Ozzie's Night Out.

What was really cool about Ricky from the early ones was how he held his own with David. One sharp kid that Ricky!

That sounds pretty plausible to me. While I like all the eras, it was the ones when Rick was 16 yrs plus that appeal to me the most. The only eps I could really live without are the ones with the Tigers. Don't hate 'em but don't ring my bell either.

Safe Husbands 1-11-1961 episode 289

You can tell from the very beginning that the first scene was edited out just by the dialog between Joe and Ozzie. They are in a diner or cafe and talking about their recent conversation with Clara and Harriet. The girls must have said something about being able to trust them because they were older and didn't have to worry about them attracting younger women anymore.

The order "the usual" from the waitress, expecting she knows them very well, and she doesn't have a clue who they are or what "the usual" is and even serves Ozzie the wrong kind of pie.

The leave and find two women that ran out of gas beside the road. They proceed to take the women to a gas station and the women insist they all sit in the front seat together. Well, of course, Clara and harriet see them and decide they were probably taking the women to a gas stion and decide not to bring it up. At first, Joe and Ozzie are afraid what they will say about the two women in their car, but when they don't mention it, they are a little miffed. They then tell them about it and they say they weren't concerned anyway.

Joe and Ozzie make a big production of dressing nice and saying they're going out together trying to make Clara and Harriet a little jealous, but they don't seem to care. Of course, they eventually decide to find out what they are up to and go to the restaurant and find them alone, but there was a moment when Joe and Ozzie saw the two women they helped come into the restaurant and they thought they were there to see them, but they weren't.

David's Car Payments 1-20-1960 episode 259

David is borrowing money from everyone he knows to help out a friend. When Ozzie misinterprets a letter from a finance company to David, (it's an advertising flier), he thinks that David's car in being repossessed. David's car wasn't even financed with the company in question. All comes out in the open when a man from the finance company comes to their home to return a check that Harriet had sent for the payment. Ozzie is trying to say Harriet was the one all worried until she shows David and Ozzie a returned envelope with a check for the payment that Ozzie sent but forgot to put a stamp on it.

What I love about that episode, is that Joe is off bragging about this nephew of his. How he's doing so wel bla bla bla just bought a boat. Joe's asking, snooping, about Dave and his finances. Ozzie's a bit flustered because of the letter and doesn't really know what to say. And he gets a tad embarrassed when Joe finds out Dave needs money.

Come to find out the friend Dave is trying to help out and get the money for is none other than Joe's nephew!! I like that bit of irony in there.

Joe always makes it seem like Clara is the nosey one, but he's as bad or worse. You have to admire Dave for not telling everyone why he needed the money too. That's a true friend.

The Pennies 10-28-1964 episode 259

The Tigers entrust Ozzie with ther $3.15 in pennies wheich they bury in the back yard. Ozzie has a poker game at his house and Ricky didn't return the poker chips so he decides to use the boys pennies. This creates a problem because some of the pennies could be collectibles.

Lonesome Parents 3-15-1962 episode 324

Ozzie and Harriet haven't heard from Dave and June in two weeks and wonder what's wrong. They go by the apartment and they are expecting dinner guests so they decide they're just too boring for them to want to spend time with. They plan Japanese style evening for them instead of the usual. Turns out, they've just been busy and enjoy their usual visits with them. Harriet gets a phone call from her mother at the end wondering why she hasn't been in touch. Same excuse, they were busy.

Both are nice episodes. Watching the later shows, you can see what Dave Nelson once said: The show practically directs itself.

The Tigers Go To A Dance 11-1-1962 episode 339

Harriet's Women's Club is having a dance for 7-10 year olds, but they can't get any little boys to come. Ozzie, being an honorary member of The Tigers boys club, bribes them with baseball equipment to get them to go to the dance and dance with little girls too.

The Tigers Go To A Dance 11-1-1962 episode 339

Harriet's Women's Club is having a dance for 7-10 year olds, but they can't get any little boys to come. Ozzie, being an honorary member of The Tigers boys club, bribes them with baseball equipment to get them to go to the dance and dance with little girls too.

Yes, I remember this one. How could I not...I have 7 copies of the cacamamie thing from various DVD sets - it has a cute quality I suppose - but I was never a big fan of any of the Tiger eps- but this was probably the best of them.

I also have 5 of The Fraternity Rents A Room - but am happy I do - this was a CLASSIC ep of the series and is an EXCELLENT addition to any DVD set of the series. It was only the ep I recall where a guest got almost equal billing to the Nelsons. Wally Cox was superb as the nerdy prof who really knows how to PILE ON the homework and be the 5th wheel cramping the Frat's normally carefree style.

I know what you mean about having five copies of some episodes. That's why it's such a mess trying to organize them. I wish I had more of the early episodes.

No News For Harriet 6-8-1960 episode 277

Harriet wants Ozzie to share his daily activities and what he does with her, like Joe does with Clara. Joe exagerates things to make them more interesting for Clara, but she doesn't know this. Ozzie decides to write down every lillte detail for Harriet. Joe tells Clara that Ozzie knows a famous author and Clara proceeds to get him for as a guest speaker for a Women's Club speaker. Bill Harvery the so-called author is not an author, and he has been exagerating things to his wife also, and she thinks Ozzie is a golf pro.

Kris Plays Cupid 11-25-1964 episode 396

Ginger abnd "Fatso" as she calls him in this episode, have yet another argument. This time, because she sees him carrying the books of a beautiful blonde. After a few days, Kris decides to get them back together with Ginger's help. Ginger fixes dinner at Kris and Rick's with the help of Harriet's apple struedel, a favorite of Wally's, but then EVERYTHING food is his favorite. Wally thinks they are just trying to get him and Ginger back together, which they are, but Rick tells him he can bring anyone he wants and he brings the blonde to dinner. Somehow, Rick, Kris, and Wally manage to keep Ginger from finding out Wally brought a date to dinner, with the help of a male friend of Rick's that just happens to show up.

Forgot to add, but in this episode, ION DID include Rick singing a song at the end. I'm not positive of the title, but I believe it's Happy Guy. He whistles a lot in the song. I have one copy on a DVD that doesn't include the song.

Somehow, Rick, Kris, and Wally manage to keep Ginger from finding out Wally brought a date to dinner, with the help of a male friend of Rick's that just happens to show up.

Well only for so long anyways cause if I remember Ginger does find out(at pretty much the the end) AND HITS THE ROOF - chasing Wally with a frying pan screaming 'I'll sweetie pie you!!"

She does chase Wally, but it is Kris who chases Rick with the frying pan (and getting in some good swats too!) :lol:

Kris And The Queen 9-29-1965 episode 412

Wally and Ginger have another fight and Rick and Ozzie convince him to ask someone else out to a dance. Rick asks the prom queen to accept a date with Wally, as it could be an experience for the physcology class they have together and boost Wally's confidence at the same time. It works, but Kris has convinced Ginger to make up with Wally. Now they have to convince Wally he really doesn't want to take the prom queen to the dance. This is accomplished with the help of Harriet and the phone. Kris gets Rick to take the prom queen to the dance since she doesn't have a date because of them interferring. Ozzie and Harriet take Kris out since she can't go to the dance without Rick. When they return, Kris is upset because Rick is still out, or so she thinks.

I've tried not to give away the complete endings in most of the episodes, but I guess most of you have seen them and it doesn't matter, but I'm leaving theis one out anyway.:happyface

Joe always makes it seem like Clara is the nosey one, but he's as bad or worse. You have to admire Dave for not telling everyone why he needed the money too. That's a true friend.

Yeah Dave's a good guy. And in real life too; he helped keep the extended family together through lots of tense situations. While I LIKE all the Nelsons, Dave's my favorite.

"You love Ginger you wanna take Ginger to the dance. You love Ginger, you want to take Ginger to the dance."

Just remember Ginger's good!"


A Ginger milkshake .. that's really different.

The ending in this one is pretty funny.

And I believe the outfit was worn by Ozzie in The Prowler. At least it looks like the same one.

You just have to love Ozzie's accents too.

You just have to love Ozzie's accents too.

Like in Ozzie's Double where he does that great British accent. It really took me by surprise, that's for sure.

He does the British accent in this episode too. It's hard to keep from laughing hearing him though, knowing how he really sounds.

A Wife In The Office 2-5-1964 episode 378

June convinces David to let her take his secretary's place while she's on vacation. June really tries, but can't handle the job and wants to quit, but doesn't know how to handle it. It seems David and she have the same idea and send a message to his secretary at the same time.

I always thought David looked more like Harriet when he was younger. There is a scene with David and Harriet towards the end of the show and they really look a lot alike, to me anyway. As David got older, he looks so much like his father.

This is the last of the ION shows, a total of 33 episodes, all but 4 were from seasons 8 through 14, so this is my las "recap". I really would like to see more of the first 7 seasons when the boys were younger.:)
