The quality of these two DVD's are the worst I've seen on DVD. The picture is at times blurred and there are skips in the sound. In one episode entitled, "Kris And The Queen" the sound is lost half way thru the show.

Many of the original TV commericals have been included as a "Bonus" but the quality is so bad I could not even make out the picture on some. Although the episodes are classic Ozzie & Harriet, I can not give this set nothing more then a poor rating due to the quality of the disk.

I hope someday someone will release a top quality addition to this great classic TV sitcom on DVD.

The Quality Isn't That BadApr 11, 2003

The picture quality of these "Ozzie and Harriet" episodes is certainly not from a pristine print viewers of the show used to see when it aired on network television. But, it's about as much as you can expect until it's released from a master print.
That having been said, please check out these DVD's of this unbelievably loveable TV show. While these episodes all feature a much older David and Rick, the charm of the Nelson family, from Ozzie and Harriet to Kris and June is something so lacking on television today.
Art Linkletter says this show was the first "Show about nothing," which is what most people would call "Seinfeld" The difference between "Ozzie and Harriet" and "Seinfeld" is the Nelsons and their friends are all the type of people you do want to spend hours upon hours with. Look for the hilarious Skip Young as Dave and Rick's friend, Wally, and his extremely funny girlfriend Ginger. Their humor plays like Fred and Ethel Mertz in college.
This is a truly lovable show, and if you check it out, you'll certainly enjoy it.

Good family sit-comDec 30, 2003

Feminists attack O&H for its stereotyped roles (despite the fact that they were accurate for the time period of the series). Sophisticates see it as hokey saccharin family comedy (despite the fact that most American families were two parent households for the time period of the series). What O&H is is a simple, wholesome family sit com that was enormously popular for over a decade - and with good reason. It is warm, family-friendly, amusing (though rarely hilarious - the laugh track is over the top), and people could relate to the situations that still seem familiar to most people. It is too bad that this box set concentrates on the last few years - O&H was at its best when Ricky and David were kids and not married. I bought this and everyone in my family enjoyed it.

Only for those who like the David and Rick Get Married yearsAug 26, 2005

The quality of these DVDs is not great. The picture is rather wobbly, and at times the sound is difficult to hear. For me it's not such an issue as I've never seen the show in its "pristine" form. I was born after its original run and have watched only low quality reruns on small budget local television stations. What does disappoint me about this set is that all of the episodes come from the show's last few seasons, when it was way past its prime. This show's strongest episodes are in the early years when David and Ricky are children. In the later years the plots get too hokey and contrived and the jokes too forced. The episodes with Ozzie hanging out with the neighborhood children are especially cringe-inducing. This was Ozzie's way of having cute kid humor after David and Ricky were too old to provide it, similar to the Bradys' Cousin Oliver, the Huxtables getting a stepgrandchild and Ma and Pa Ingalls adopting 12 kids. If you've never seen Ozzie and Harriet I do not recommend these DVDs as an introduction to the show--you'll wonder how it ever lasted so long. I recommend this set only to those who enjoyed the show in its twilight years and can overlook the quality issues.
