THE ADVENTURES OF OZZIE & HARRIET...!

Not only the most important sitcom in ABC's history, but the one that set the pattern for all networks' family sitcoms for decades. How soon we forget! This was a very significant series that I believe STILL holds the longevity record for a live-action family sitcom.

mets82 · 05-13-2016, 05:27 PM

Thats true. The thing that holds Ozzie and Harriet back, imo, is the fact that they are hardly seen anymore. They were on COZI-TV for a while and I'm not sure if they are still on the air. Also, are all the episodes intact? Thats probably why they are not on anymore. Maybe too many episodes are missing.

William Hogan Jr · 05-13-2016, 06:18 PM

My favorites are Bewitched, Leave It To Beaver(2-6), F Troop, The Addams Family, The Brady Bunch, Ozzie and Harriet, My Three Sons(1-5), Nanny and the Professor, Happy Days, The Odd Couple, Batman(Does this count?), The Real McCoys(1-5), The Flintstones.

I guess you could call it a comedy in a way, being that it was noted for being incredibly campy, IIRC.
