The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet ran from 1952[1] to 1966 over 14 seasons. It started as a radio show, and for around the first two seasons, the television series ran simultaneously with the radio show. This wholesome family sitcom features the Nelson family, consisting of Ozzie, Harriet, David, and Rick Nelson, and later on David's wife, June Blair, and Rick's wife, Kris Nelson. The earlier seasons feature a pal for Ozzie, the competitive, yet good-natured, Thorny (played by Don Defore). Later seasons also include characters Doc Williams (played by Frank Cady), Joe Randolph (played by Lyle Talbot), Clara Randolph (played by Mary Jane Croft), and Darby (played by Parley Baer).
