"Ozzie and Harriet" Need Your Help! - Herbie J Pilato

The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, one of America's favorite family sitcoms of all time (which originally ran on ABC from 1952 to 1966) was the first to feature an entire family in the cast that played themselves. The show featured real-life married couple Ozzie and Harriet Nelson, and their sons, David and Rick Nelson &#8211; the latter of whom went on to become a music pop-star sensation and motion picture star (in films like Rio Bravo, released in 1959 &#8211; see photo right).Unfortunately, the entire cast has now passed away. And though embedded in the American TV psyche, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet has never been released on DVD.But Sam Nelson, grandson to the show's parental leads, and son of David, is making every attempt to change that. And you can help.The beloved and iconic program, which so very well represents the ideals of true American family values, deserves to be preserved, packaged and distributed not only to original Ozzie and Harriet fans, but to contemporary and future viewers of all ages.To find out just how much you can help to properly sustain the classic TV memories of watching The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, and to help create new and very sustainable and worthy memories for the next generation of watchers, please click on the links below.To read about Sam Nelson's efforts to bring back Ozzie and Harriet to American mainstream culture, click on this link:http://www.wwlp.com/dpp/mass_appeal/leisure/help-save-classic-series-ozzie-%26-harriet?ref=scroller&amp;categoryId=10032&amp;status=trueTo learn more about the special Ozzie and Harriet DVD project, pay a visit to this page at:www.kickstarter.com/projects/2100802854/ozzie-and-harriet-reviving-an-american-treasureFor even more reading about Ozzie and Harriet on DVD, please visit the Home Theater Forum thread:http://www.hometheaterforum.com/t/314965/ozzie-harrietHerbie J Pilato is a Writer/Producer who has worked for Syfy, A&amp;E, TLC, Bravo, The Discovery Channel, Universal, Warner Bros. and Sony.
