Here is another example of a classic episode of Ozzie and Harriet.
Wally is in trouble with Ginger again. He needs Dave to help him out with an alibi and wants him to be seen with him when Ginger goes by. Dave of course is naturally suspicious as he doesn't trust Wally. Wally tells him that the only catch is that he has to have his arm in a sling. Dave refuses and walks away, Rick pops up and sells Wally that this sounds interesting. Wally decides that Rick will do instead of Dave.
Jack, a medical student, puts Rick's arm in a cast and Wally and Rick head out to find Ginger. Ginger catches on quickly and tells Wally that she thought it was Dave that Wally was with. She also confronts Wally with the fact that he said Dave's leg was broken not his arm. Since The Alibi didn't work she storms off and and Wally decides that it's time for Rick to go to get the cast off.
Well on his way he runs into his girlfriend Janet who asks how he is feeling and is concerned that he has appeared to have broken his arm. Rick decides to go with it and pretends that he has broken his arm to get some sympathy from Janet.

The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet: The Costume Dance (1959)
It is a fantasy
This was a cute episode of Ozzie and Harriet. Ozzie has been wanting to change up the way the Men's Club has their dances. This year he wants to have a costume party for something different. The rest of the Men's Club aren't too sure about the idea. They go so far as to make sure Ozzie isn't at the meeting by not telling him about it. Clara of course is the one to spill the beans to Ozzie and he gets upset and rushes out to the meeting.
At the meeting the rest of the men placate Ozzie into thinking that they will have a costume party instead.
Overall it was a light hearted episode as is the case with this series.

A cute episode that was addressing the trend of the late 50s of "kids" getting married young.

They remember when they were young and first married. Ozzie remembers Harriet's cooking and thinks Dave isn't in for a very good meal which prompts a remark from Harriet.
This was a good episode to watch and deals with the issue that the boys are growing up and will someday get married. That's what made this show so unique. There was character growth as all the characters got older.

"Then someone makes the motion that I'm the best treasurer..."
The Treasurer's son, Ricky Nelson. Ozzie gives us a great episode continuing his story of being the treasurer for the Men's Club. This comes with a twist as this is about Ricky helping Wally who is the treasurer for the fraternity.
Wally has been struggling with the books and the fraternity assigns Ricky to help Wally out. They have just put in a new hot water heater for the fraternity house and also have been planning an upcoming dance.
Ricky decides to ask the Men's Club for a space to rent so they can hold the dance. He goes to Ozzie for the details and gets a spot for the Boys and the dance.
This was a funny episode and as mentioned earlier, it reminded us that Ozzie is still stuck being the treasurer.

There is another misunderstanding and now Ricky is in trouble with Betty.
This was a funny episode and it was good to watch.
The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet: Togetherness (1959)
"There's been a slight change in plans".
This is a good episode about husbands and wives spending all of their time together. This takes a little bit of a turn when David and Ricky feel they haven't been spending as much time with their parents as they used too.
Ozzie goes to a Women's Club Meeting lecture about the above subject. He listens to the female speaker and afterwards starts to feel pressured into doing things with Harriet. She asks him if he can play golf with him the next day with Joe. Ozzie trying not to hurt her feelings agrees to it.
Joe gives him a hard time over not being strong enough to stand up to Harriet. However at the golf course, we find that Clara and Sally Darby are with their husbands at the golf course too.
A light hearted episode that has a nice ending. This was an enjoyable episode.
The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet: Ricky, the Bullfighter (1959)
"I Have my Libro with me."
This was a well written and delightful episode. Ricky is attracted to a new Spanish exchange student. He is a little nervous and Zeke introduces him to her. He decides to take some Spanish lessons from her even though he doesn't need the help.
It doesn't work out to well because he informs the guys of his plan who happen to take Spanish lessons with him at the same time. Ricky has to think of another way to get to know this girl alone. He finds out that her brother is a great bullfighter back in Spain. Ricky decides to learn a little bit more about bullfighting to impress the girl.
Senor Vicente Gomez appears in this episode with a guitar number which shows his tremendous talent.
The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet: The Small Tent (1959)
"It'll be in a lodge getting warmed by the fire"
This was a very funny episode compared to the last one. This was well thought of and written beautifully. What a fantastic idea to have the men and the women camping outside during a frozen night.
Ozzie once again speaks without thinking when talking about camping outside and the pioneer spirit. Ozzie, Darby and Joe make a little bet with their wives, Harriet, Sally and Clara about who can handle camping outside in the cold.
Darby and Joe aren't very happy with Ozzie making this little bet with them when the wives actually agree.
The usual shenanigans happen between the husbands and wives as they see who can outlast the other.
The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet: Ozzie Changes History (1959)
"How come you got stuck with this job?"
This was a decent episode from Ozzie. It wasn't the best and I didn't care for the arguing between Ozzie and Darby. It was a little sad for certain reasons (not to spoil anything) that Darby behaved the way he did.
Ozzie is trying to find out about Phineas Warfield, the man who founded their city 100 years ago at the time. Ozzie tries to find out about him from an older man but doesn't get anywhere. He writes to the town historical society who gives him the truth about Phineas Warfield.
Ozzie tries to bring the truth to light about the town but runs into trouble with Darby. Again this wasn't the best idea to come from the writers who usually do a pretty good job. Not one of my favorites.
The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet: The Exploding Book (1959)
"Why don't you grow up and act your age?"
This was a terrific and funny show. It was included in the dvd "Ozzie and Harriet - Favorite Memories". It certainly is that and more.
David has been going out with a girl named Betty, whose father just happens to be David and Wally's history teacher. Wally informs David that he also has been taking Betty out on a few dates. David gets a little upset when he finds out. Wally has been struggling in history and is hoping the professor will take it easy on him if he is dating his daughter.
This sets off a little rivalry between Dave and Wally to fight for Betty's affections. Wally tries to use deception to keep Dave away from Betty by not telling him she invited Dave to her birthday party. She runs into David and tells him herself, thwarting Wally's scheme.
This sets the stage for what is to come as David tries to find the right birthday present for Betty.
The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet: The Newspaper Interview (1959)
"Shall I bring out the moose head and the trophies?
This was a good, classic episode of Ozzie and Harriet. Darby has been chosen as the neighbor of the week. He had his photograph taken and put in the paper. It shows him with a dog, a smoking jacket and some trophies. None of these things even belonged to him.
Darby comes over to brag to Ozzie about being chosen. Ozzie sees the picture and declares that the trophies and the moosehead belong to him. How could Darby allow a phony photograph of himself to be taken? Ozzie says he would allow the photographer to take his picture just the way he is.
Well as usual Ozzie has to prove whether he is just talking or he actually means it. This was a classically funny episode with down to earth humor. You will enjoy this episode.
The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet: Ozzie's Old Teammate (1959)
"Maybe you zigged when you should have zagged."
Ozzie and the writers craft yet another great episode full of twists and turns right up to the end.
I wonder if this episode was the inspiration for The King of Queens episode where Doug faced a similar predicament?
Any way Ozzie meets an old school football teammate at a Men's Club Meeting. They talk about a game between Richfield High and Leonia. Ozzie says he scored the game winning touchdown and his team won. His friend Harry seem to remember the game differently. He says that they lost the game.
Ozzie was a master at the details and they always tie in at the very end. This is what made the show so special.
The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet: The Composite Girl (1959)
"It was just supposed to be a joke!"
This was a good episode of Ozzie and Harriet. It appears the campus is holding a beauty contest to find the most beautiful girl on campus. For Rick and Zeke have been chosen to be photographers for their fraternity and must take pictures of all the beautiful girls they see.
They take the photos back to Dave, Wally, Fred and the other guys who act as the judge. When they can't seem to find one from the pile of photographs, they send Rick and Zeke out for more photos.
Upset that they have to get more photos, they devise a plan to get a composite picture of all the girls on campus and have it be a beautiful girl that doesn't exist.
This is what the episode is about and the story takes a turn when the mystery girl is one of the 4 finalists to be chosen the winner.
The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet: Jealous Joe Randolph (1959)
"Don't forget tomorrow, Ozzie!"
This was a classic episode of Ozzie and Harriet from Season 7.
The story is set up with Ozzie, Harriet, Joe, and Clara coming back from watching a movie. They get into the subject of jealousy since that what part of the movie was about. They also discuss that the main character of the film would be happier married to another character on the film. When Clara and Joe leave to go home, Clara tells Ozzie about not forgetting tomorrow. It appears Joe's birthday is coming up and she wants Ozzie to help her pick out a present for him.
Harriet later asks Ozzie what Clara wanted he tells her about Joe's birthday. The conversation rolls around to who Ozzie would be happily married to if it wasn't Harriet. Just as Ozzie is going to sleep he says Clara.
And so our story begins from here. Playing off the age old story of jealousy. It was a well written episode and good laughs. TV was great to watch in the 1950s.
The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet: Ozzie and the Space Age (1959)
"Crackpot or Scientist?"
This is another example of a good episode with Ozzie and the neighborhood kids.
Ozzie goes to the barbershop for a haircut where Darby and Doc Williams are waiting to get their hair cut. They get into the subject of flying saucers after Darby reads an article about a new movie. Ozzie makes a comment that there may be life on other planets and Darby and Doc roast him for it.
Later that evening Darby and Doc show up at Ozzie's house to see if they can get a picture of a flying saucer.
Ozzie's curiosity gets the best of him as it usually does and this episode is truly funny. I love when Ozzie sticks his foot in his mouth and he has to find a way to save face. This was a great episode to watch.
The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet: Rick's Dinner Guests (1959)
"You suppose being confused is hereditary?"
Ozzie and the writers brings another fantastic and hilariously funny episode again. It seems Rick has met a new girl that just moved to town and has invited her and her parents over for dinner. Ozzie wants the guys over for a poker game the same night.
The trouble begins when Ozzie heads to the store to get some things for the dinner. He runs into a Mr. Edwards that tells Ozzie that his son is coming over to their house for dinner. Ozzie tells him he thought he and his wife were coming over for dinner. And so our story is set with confusion the cause of our trouble again at the Nelson household.
Ozzie and the writers craft a well written story full of the usual twists that the show gives us. This was a great episode to watch and it was very funny. I loved this episode.
The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet: Rick's Scientific Date (1959)
"How did I know she was the captain of the soccer team?"
Wally has a bad habit of fixing up his fraternity brothers with bad blind dates. When he comes in the malt shop he tries to fix Dave, Zeke or Fred with a blind date. Zeke and Fred leave leaving David alone with Wally.
Wally informs Dave that this girl is his cousin and he decides to come up with a "scientific experiment" for his psychology class to get Ricky to date his cousin.
This episode contains a lot of laughs but not as many as previous episodes. It was a good episode to watch any way though. It does have a very funny ending that I won't spoil it. Typically the boys episodes are funny but this was not the funniest episode in the series.
The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet: The Runaways (1958)
"Just Call Me Donnie."
Ozzie directs another fantastic episode. The story centers around two young kids running away from home.
Ozzie comes home from some errands downtown and he and Harriet discover the little kids in the back of Ozzie's car. Ozzie and Harriet are able to get them to come inside to have some ice cream. After some careful questioning, the kids won't reveal much information to the Nelsons.
This was a great episode with Katie Sweet's acting debut. She did a stellar job acting at the young age of 2. She delivered all of her lines so well for her age. Donald Losby who played her brother also did a fantastic job. This was an adorable episode.
The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet: The Helpful Neighbor (1958)
"The Baby Belonged to Mrs. Green."
Ozzie crafts another delightful episode full of tongue twisters and plenty of laughs.
Our story begins with Ozzie heading over to the Darby's to see of Darby wants to play golf. Darby tells him he can't and that he is going to be painting the living room. Sally comes home and reminds Darby she is going to have a bridge party there this afternoon.
Ozzie tells Sally that Harriet can host the party this week and when it is Harriet's turn, Sally can host. When Ozzie informs Harriet she has Ozzie go downtown to pick up some eclairs.
That's when the trouble begins. One thing after another happens to Ozzie in this fun filled episode.
