Appliances presents

America's favorite family
comedy, "The Adventures

of Ozzie and Harriet,"
starring the entire Nelson

family; Ozzie, Harriet,
David, and Ricky.

So settle back in
your easy chairs

and enjoy another delightful
half-hour with all the Nelsons.

Ozzie Nelson, of
course, plays the part

of the head of the
Nelson household, Ozzie.

And here is his lovely
wife, Harriet Nelson,

who keeps the family
on an even keel.

Hello, Harriet.

The smiling young
teenager we now see

is David Nelson, older
of the two Nelson boys,

and played by David Nelson.

And here we have the
youngest of the Nelsons,

the little guy with
the twinkle in his eye,

Ricky Nelson, played
by Ricky Nelson.

The Nelson's next-door
neighbor, Mr. Thornberry,

better known as
Ozzie's pal, Thorny,

is played by Don DeFore.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

- Oh, boy.

How much does that
give us all together?

- Exactly $4.10.

- Don't forget
half of it's mine.

- Who said it wasn't?

- What does my share come to?

- What's the matter?

Can't you divide?

- Well, sure.

- OK, what's half of $4.10?

- Let's see.

Half of 10 is 5.

Oh, boy! $4.05!

- I guess that
answers my question.

- What do you mean?

- Your share is $2.05.

- Details.

Always details.

- I think that's pretty good.

- Same here.

- It takes a lot of willpower
to save money, you know.

- Now that we've
got all this money,

what are we going to do with it?

- Save some more, naturally.

- Not me.

I'm going to spend mine, boy.

- I just got through saying
it takes a lot of willpower

to save money.

- Yeah, that's what you said.

- Well, evidently
you haven't got any.

- So what?

Whatever it takes
to spend money.

I got a lot of that, boy.

- We don't want to spend it.

We want to save some more.

- What good is money
if you don't spend it?

- Save it for a rainy day.

- I've already got a raincoat.

I want a periscope.

- A what?

- A periscope.

They sell them down
at the drugstore.

- What do you want
a periscope for?

- They're neat, boy.

You can see around
corners with them.

- What's so
wonderful about that?

- Well, I can tell if
Mom's in the kitchen when I

want to get some extra cookies.

- What's this about
getting some extra cookies?

You weren't
supposed to hear that, Mom.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

I'll whistle the next
time before I come in.

- Ricky wants to
buy a periscope.

- Oh, you mean one
of those little ones

I saw advertised in the paper?

- They're not so little, Mom.

Iggy Schwartz has one,
and it works well.

- Is this a slight hint for
an advance in your allowance?

- Oh, no.

I've got a lot of
money saved up.

- Yeah, and now he
wants to spend it all.

- How much have you saved?

- $2.05.

- Oh.

Well, that's quite a
bit for a periscope.

You won't have any money
left then at all, you know.

- Yes, I know.

- Personally, I'd
rather carry it

around my wallet for a few days.
- Not me.

I'd rather spend it.

Then I wouldn't have to
worry about a wallet.

- Well, of course
it's your money,

but it does seem like an
awful lot to waste on a toy.

- Well, it isn't
exactly a toy, Mom.

There's a picture
of it in the paper.

- Yes, dear, I see it.

- I think it's a waste of money.

- Oh, they're having quite
a sale at the emporium.

Here's that fishing reel your
father's always talking about.

- Have they cut the price on it?

- They sure did.

- I hope he gets it, boy.

- What do you care?

- Well, heck, I don't
want to be the only

big spender in the family.

I'll get lonesome.

- For goodness sakes.

Look at the sale they're having.

All these beautiful
dresses at half price.

You know, I think I may take
a run down to the emporium

a little later.

This sale looks
too good to miss.

- Mom?

- Yes, dear?

- You think I could have
an advance on my allowance?

- What's the matter?

Can't you last until payday?

- Oh, sure, I can.

I'm just worried
about the money.

Ozzie?

- Oh, hi.

- My goodness.

I was under the impression
that March 15th has passed.

- Well, yes, of course it is.

- What are you doing
with all those papers?

Did you make a
mistake or something?

- Uh, well, if I did,
we won't know about it

until the government agents
come pounding at the door.

- Don't worry about it.

I won't let them in.

- Well, anyway, it's too late
to moan about last year's taxes.

I'm just trying to see if I
can't do something about this

year's.

You know, make things
a little easier.

- Oh?

Well, what's your verdict?

- Well, I figure we'll
just about make it

if we follow my plan.

- What's your plan?

- Uh, that we don't eat
for the next 12 months.

- That's liable to be
a little bit difficult.

You've got any other
recommendations, professor?

- Uh, well, yes, I do think we
should cut our spending down

to the absolute necessities
for the next few months.

- What do you mean?

- Well, it's just that we
are a little tight here,

and I don't think we should
make any purchases that we

don't absolutely need.

- Well, suppose
there's a special sale

with some wonderful buys.

- Oh, Harriet, there's
always a wonderful sale

of one sort or another.

I'm sure we can forego those
things for a while, can't we?

- Well...

- It isn't the
situation is desperate,

it's just I like to have
a little margin in case

of an emergency of some sort.

- I expect you're right.

- Oh, is that this
morning's paper?

- Yes, it is.

- Oh, did you see that article
about the March 15th hangover?

- No, I didn't.

- It's pretty good.

Oh, here it is.

This reporter calls
himself "Diogenes."

- Oh, he's the fellow who was
looking for an honest man,

wasn't he?

- Yeah, well, this guy says
he's looking for a taxpayer who

can honestly say that
he paid his taxes

and has faced the
situation with a smile.

- Sounds like he's looking
for a dishonest man.

- Yeah, I hope he has plenty
of kerosene in the lantern.

Looks like a long
search, if you ask me.

Oh, say, look at the time.

- Did you have
something special to do?

- Uh, yeah, I thought I'd go
over and see Andy Beasley.

- Andy Beasley?
- You remember him.

He's the large brother who
broke his leg in that skiing

accident a few weeks ago.

I told you about it.

- Oh, yes.

Well, how is he doing?

- Oh, as well as can
be expected, I guess.

I thought I'd take a
little run over there

and kind of cheer him up a bit.

- Hiya, Mom.
Hiya, Pop.

- Hi, Mom, Pop.
- Oh, hello, boys.

- We saved up some money.
- Yeah, over $2.00.

- Oh, good for you.

I hate to rush off, boys,
but I'm a little bit

late for an appointment.
I'll see you later.

- So long, Pop.

- Goodbye, dear.

- How come Pop's
in such a hurry?

- I bet he's going
down to the emporium

to buy that fishing reel.

- No, I'm afraid
you're wrong there.

In fact, your father and
I just had a little talk

about money matters.

- You mean he isn't going
to buy the fishing reel?

- No, I'm afraid not.

- Aren't you going
to buy anything?

- Well, not for the
present at any rate.

We've decided to limit
ourselves to the necessities

until the family bankroll
gets in a little better shape.

- See, Ricky?
I told you.

- Golly.

- What's the matter, dear?

- Well, heck, I'm the
lonesomest guy in town.

- Come in.

- Andy?

- Ozzie!

I wondered who that was.

Come on in and sit down.

- I just thought I'd
come over and see

how you're getting along.
- Oh, fine.

Just fine.
What do you got there?

- Oh, I just brought a
little something for you.

- Oh, well, that was
mighty thoughtful, Oz.

Oh, a basket of fruit!

- Yeah, I thought you'd might
like an apple or a banana

to munch on while
you're lying here.

- Oh, well, swell, Oz.

Just put it over
there on the table.

- OK.

Oh, uh, doesn't seem
to be much room here.

- Oh, well, just move
that one with the bananas

over to the left, huh?

And shift that one a little.

That's it.

- There we are.

- Now, sit down and take
a load off your mind, huh?

- OK, fine.

Gee, we were terribly shocked
to hear about your accident.

- Well, it's just one
of those things, Oz.

- Yeah, Harriet was
saying just the other day

it must be tough on a guy
who's as active as you are

to be incapacitated like this.

- Well, it was my own fault.
It was just plain carelessness.

- You were skiing, weren't you?

- Well, not exactly.

We had gone up to the lake
to do a little skiing,

but it was such a
beautiful day that I

decided to string up the hammock
and take a little snooze.

Before I knew what
was happening,

I'd fallen out of
the darn thing,

and there I was lying in
the snow with a broken leg.

- How about that?

- I just gotten
it strung up, too.

Darn thing threw me
like bucking bronco.

- Isn't that amazing?

It sure was a tough break.

- You know, Oz, at first
I thought it was, too.

But I've begun to realize it was
really a blessing in disguise.

- Oh, well, that's
a good attitude.

- It's more than that, Oz.

Lying here with a lot of
time to think things over

has given me a whole
new sense of values.

It makes you realize
how foolish it

is to knock yourself out
worrying about a lot of things

that never happen.

- Yeah, I suppose you're right.

- Yeah, in the last
two weeks, I've

read a few books that I've
always wanted to read,

listened to the radio,
looked at television.

Sometimes I've just set by the
hour and looked out the window.

But best of all, it's
given me a chance

to really think
things out, and I've

come to one definite conclusion.

From now on, I'm
going to enjoy life.

- Well, Andy, that's
a great philosophy,

if you can afford it.

- Oh, I don't mean you have
to be silly about things, Oz.

But doggone it all, most of us
are just too darn conservative.

We deny ourselves
little pleasures

that mean the difference
between happiness and drudgery.

- Well, ordinarily, I'd
go along with you, Andy,

but I'm still smarting from
that income tax deadline.

- Well, we're all in
the same boat on that.

You know the old saying,
"It's later than you think."

Relax.

Get out and take
that little trip

you've always wanted to take
and forget all about it.

- Well, I can't afford to take
a trip even if I wanted to.

- Well, of course
you can afford it.

It's an investment in
your own happiness.

Loosen up a little, Oz.

Give yourself a break.

- Well, I haven't been thinking
about taking any trips,

but there is a little
something I'd like

to buy if I had the courage.

- Yeah, what's that?

- Well, I've kind of had my eye
on a rather expensive fishing

reel down at the emporium.

And I see by this
morning's paper,

they've got a sale
there, and they're

selling this reel for
just about half price.

- Well, then what
are you waiting for?

You're going to go through life
fishing with a broken down reel

just because you're afraid
to spend a little money?

If you don't get it now, you
may never get another chance.

Live, man, live!

- You know, Andy, I
think you're right.

- Of course I'm right.

- By golly, I think I'll
go down to the emporium

right now and at least
take a look at it.

- Say, as a matter of fact,
I could use a new reel, too.

Wait a minute.

I'll get my coat and
I'll go with you.

- Hey!

Well, look out for your leg!

- Oh, for goodness sakes!

I forgot all about
the darn thing.

- You're getting a little
too rambunctious there, boy.

- Well, gee, Oz.

It was awful nice
of you to come over.

I appreciate it a million.

- Oh, well, swell, Andy.

I'll tell you what I'll do.

When I get the reel,
I'll bring it over

and let you have a look at it.
- Oh, swell.

Do that.

- And, uh, oh, if
you ever need anybody

to come over and cheer you up
a little, let me know, will ya?

So long, Andy.

"Ozzie and Harriet"
will be back in just a moment.

- Oh, there you are.

- Hiya, Pop.
- Hi.

Hi, dear.

I was just trying some of
David's old coats on Ricky.

New clothes are so
expensive these days.

Come here, dear.

Try the checkered one on again.

How was Mr. Beasley?

Feeling pretty low,
I imagine, huh?

- Uh, no, Harriet.

On the contrary, he seemed
in very good spirits.

- Oh, well, that's good.

What's in the package?

- Oh, well, I'll, uh--

I'll explain this to
you a little later on.

Getting back to Andy Beasley,
we had a very interesting

little chat.

- Oh, that's nice.

- Yeah, I discovered a
facet to his personality

I hadn't known before.

You know, he has a very
interesting cheerful philosophy

on life.

In fact, he sort
of cheered me up.

- I thought you were
supposed to cheer him up.

- Well, yes, that was
the original idea,

but it sort of worked
out just the opposite.

Harriet, I noticed this
when I came in the door.

There's an awful funny
smell all through the house.

- Oh, that must be
the cauliflower.

We're having turnip
greens, cauliflower,

and banana squash for dinner.

- I don't mean to complain, but
isn't that sort of a gypsy type

menu?

- I just thought I'd cut down
on our food budget a little

after our conversation
this morning.

- Oh, that!

Oh, you don't want to pay
any attention to what I say.

I mean, uh, you don't want
to take those things too

seriously.

There's a happy
medium, you know.

- Oh, from the way
you talked, I thought

you wanted us to cut
down to everything

except bare essentials.

- Oh, well, yeah,
I can see why you'd

infer that from what I said.

I don't mean to sound like a
straw in the wind, Harriet,

but I think I've been
sort of convinced

by Andy Beasley's philosophy.

- Oh?

In what way?

- Well, I don't think
we ought to throw money

around foolishly, but
I do think there's

such a thing as being
too conservative

and denying yourself a
little extravagances that are

real genuine pleasures in life.

- Well, yes, I suppose there is.

- Why don't we go out
to dinner tonight?

- What about the vegetables?

- We can put them
in the refrigerator.

- Well, yes, I suppose we can.

- Pop?

- Yeah?

- You think I ought
to buy that periscope?

- Uh, what periscope is that?
- Well, you know.

The boys have been
saving their money,

and Ricky saw a
periscope advertised

that he'd like to buy.

- Well, if you like it,
go ahead and buy it, son.

- David saw a baseball
he kind of liked to have.

- Well, tell him to buy it.

After all, baseball
season's practically here.

- We have a very unusual
family, don't we, Pop?

- Well, I'm not so sure.

How about you, Harriet?

- Well, I'm inclined
to agree with Ricky.

- No, no, no, no.

I mean, isn't there
some little extravagance

you'd like to
indulge yourself in?

- Well.

- Go ahead.

Anything at all.

- Well, I did see a
beautiful dress advertised

at the emporium.

- Well, then go
ahead and buy it.

- Well, it's pretty
expensive, even on sale.

- Oh, so what, Harriet?

It's fun to live
dangerously once in a while.

Here.

Here's a checkbook.

Here's the pen.

Have yourself a ball.

- Are you sure you
know what you're doing?

- Oh, sure.
Go ahead.

Have fun.

- Can I have a
checkbook too, Pop?

- No, you can't
have a checkbook,

but I'll tell you what.

Why don't you and Dave
go down to the emporium

with your mother?

If you see something you'd like,
I'm sure she'll buy it for you.

- Oh, well, David does
need a new pair of pants,

and Ricky needs a new coat.

- Well, then go ahead, buy them.

- Gee, that's swell.

I'm going to tell David.

- And be sure and buy that
dress for yourself now.

- Oh, yes, I promise.

- Buy two if you'd like.

- Oh, don't tempt me.

- No, I mean it, Harriet.

Have fun.

- Ozzie?

- Uh, yeah?

- Not that it makes any
difference, of course, but when

you visited this Mister, uh--

- Beasley.

- Oh, yes.

Did he serve any
liquid refreshments?

- Oh, come on in, Thorny.

Hi, Thorn.

Come on in and sit down.

- Hi, Oz.

- Beautiful day, isn't it?

- Well, the paper says
it's going to rain.

- Well, so what?

It clears up the air.

- You seem disgustingly
happy today.

Didn't you have to pay your
income tax like the rest of us?

- You're darn right I did.

They really nicked me, too.

- You certainly sound
cheerful about it.

I've got nothing
but troubles myself.

- Oh?

What seems to be the matter?

- This morning, I
discovered a slight stain

in our living room ceiling.

Looks like I'm due for
a big plumbing job.

That's really a
gruesome thought.

- Oh, I wouldn't
get upset about it.

After all, it's probably
just a small plumbing job.

- Oz, there's no such thing
as a small plumbing job.

- Have you called
the plumber yet?

- Well, frankly, I'm afraid to.

We'd probably need
new pipes, or it could

be leaking from the shower.

Do you know how much
it costs to have

new tile put in that shower?

- Well, Thorny, why don't
you wait to find out

what the trouble is first?

- Look, Oz, where's there's
a stain, there's a leak.

Where's there's a leak,
there's something broken.

Where there's something broken,
there's something to be fixed.

And where's something to
be fixed, there's money.

And where there's money, I
haven't the faintest idea.

- Thorny, what you need is
a new philosophy on life.

Don't let these little financial
troubles bother you like this.

Let them take care
of themselves.

Believe me, you'll be a much
happier man as a result.

- Sure.

"The happy hobo," they'd call
me down at the freight yards.

- You sound like
me this morning.

I was going around
the house saying

we've got to cut down
expenses here and there.

I even gave Harriet a
big pep talk about it.

And you know who convinced
me of how ridiculous I was?

- Ricky?

- Andy Beasley.

- Andy Beasley?

- That's right.

- Well, he must have cracked
his head in that fall, too.

- No, Thorny, don't
be ridiculous.

He's absolutely right.

Frankly, I'm glad I
had a talk with him.

- Where are you going, Oz?

- Here, I want to
show you something.

Take a look at this.

See how you like it.

- Say, this is a beautiful reel.

When'd you buy it?

- Just a little while ago.

It's really a beauty, isn't it?

- Sure.

These things are pretty
expensive, though, aren't they?

- Well, they aren't cheap.

- I must admit, I envy you, Oz.

I really wish I could
be that foolish.

- It wasn't really
an extravagance.

I needed a new
fishing reel, Thorny.

- Mhm.

How many times did you
go fishing last year?

- Oh, well, I didn't go
very often last year,

but I went quite a few
times the year before.

And one of the reasons why I
didn't go so often last year

is because I didn't have
a nice fishing reel.

I'll tell you one thing, I'm
going to go plenty this summer.

- I'll bet Harriet didn't
toss her hat in the air

when she found out
you bought this thing.

- Harriet?

- Yeah, your wife.

- Yes, yes, I know.

Believe me, Thorny, she'll
be in perfect agreement

with the whole idea.

- You mean she doesn't
know you bought it yet?

- Well, I plan to tell her.

Thorny, our whole family is in
agreement on things like this.

- Well, that's fine.

It's fine.

Sounds like a fool's
paradise to me.

I believe in saving my money.

- Well, so do I,
but I also believe

in enjoying life a little bit.

You can't be a pinch penny.

You've got to spend a little
now and then to get the most out

of life.

- Well, I guess we each have
our own ideas on this subject.

I'm certainly not
going to criticize you.

Who am I to say
that you're wrong?

If you want to squander
your money instead

of doing the right thing,
that's strictly up to you.

- Thorny, this fishing reel
wasn't an extravagance.

Besides, I can always pawn it.

- Yes, that's true.

- Not only that, I can
catch fish for us to eat.

- Sure.

Of course, you have to
buy a rod to go with it.

- Well, so what?

- Well, I guess I'll go
home and call a plumber.

- Here, I'll take that.

- Oh, OK.

- Well, I hope everything
turns out all right for you.

- Thanks, Oz.

- Come on.

Pull yourself together.

Stop worrying.

- OK, I will, Oz.

- Got keep smiling, you know.

- I'll try.

Uh, you going somewhere?

- Yeah, I thought I'd better
take a little trip downtown.

I have a little
something I want to do.

Better get my top
coat first, though.

Darn rain looks like it'll
be coming down any minute.

- Well, see you later, Oz.

- OK.

Take care of yourself.

Harriet?

Harriet?

- Hiya, Pop.

See my new periscope?

- Oh, hello there.
- Hiya, Pop.

- Hello, dear.

- What are all the
packages about?

- The loot from
our shopping tour.

- Oh, for goodness sakes.

- Wait till you
see my new pants.

- Oh, I bought David a
beautiful pair of gray flannels.

- Yeah, and I got a new sweater.

- Just put the packages in there
on the dining room table, boys.

- I got a new ball
and glove too, Pop.

- Oh.

Did you get your new dress?

- Uh, my new dress?

- Yes, you know, the one that
was advertised in the emporium,

on sale.

- I changed my mind.

- Oh, I kind of
thought you would.

- I bought three others instead.

Well, they were having a
sale on summer dresses,

and I just decided to stock up.

We had more fun today.

- Oh, good.

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.

- Let's do it again tomorrow.

- No, I think you
bought enough today

to last for quite a while.

- Well, I thought you
wanted us to go out

on sort of a little splurge.

- Oh, yes, that was fine,
and I'm glad you and the boys

had such a good time.

But, well, I think
maybe it might

be just as well if we don't go
out to dinner tonight, Harriet.

The paper says it's
going to rain and all.

- Whatever you say.

- We still have those
vegetables, don't we?

- Well, yes, they're
still in the refrigerator.

I can run down and get
some steaks if you like.

- Uh, aren't steaks awfully ex--

I mean, well, uh, whatever
you and the boys want.

- Well, I'll look in the
kitchen and see what we have.

- Oh, come in, Thorny.

- Hi, Oz.
- Oh, hiya.

Thorny.

- I'm in an awful big hurry, but
I've got to tell you the news.

Listen to this.

The plumber just left, and the
job that I was so worried about

took him exactly five minutes.

He charged me
practically nothing.

- Oh, gee.

That's swell, Thorny.

- Not only that, Oz,
but I've been thinking

over that philosophy of
yours, and it's beginning

to make a lot of sense.

What am I worrying about?

Life is too short.

Well, see you later, Oz.

- Uh.

- Going to take the family
to the movies, Lowe's seats.

Oh, doggone it, I almost forgot
the most important news of all.

I was talking to Joe Randolph.

I told him how you
refused to be daunted,

you went out and bought
that expensive fishing reel.

- What expensive fishing reel?

- Harriet, this husband of yours
is a very remarkable fellow.

Joe thought so, too.

And he called the
newspaper, and they're

going to send it over
to that Diogenes fellow

to get an interview.

You know, the happiest
man in town thing?

- Oh, he shouldn't
have done that.

- Why not?
And listen to this.

They're going to give
you a nice little gift,

a swell bamboo pole
to match your reel.

- Oh, well, gee,
that's very nice.

- I knew you'd be surprised, Oz.

I'll see you later.
- Oh--

- I think I'll go out and
buy myself a golf ball.

You might mention
that to Diogenes.

Maybe he'll give me a set
of clubs to go with it.

- Oh, Harriet, this is terrible.

- What's the matter?

- Oh, I've done a
very cowardly thing.

I took the fishing reel
back to the emporium.

- Well, why'd you do that?

- Well, I got to thinking about
it, and then I got to worrying

and I figured it
was too extravagant,

so I chickened out
and changed my mind.

I just don't have
your courage, Harriet.

- Oh, believe me.

The pleasure was all mine.

This is going to be very
embarrassing for all of us.

This newspaper man,
Diogenes coming over here.

Well, I'll just have to
tell them that I backed out.

- Nonsense.

You can show him this one.

- Harriet!

My reel!

Where did you get that?

- At the emporium.

I decided since you could be
so generous with your money,

I could be generous
with your money, too.

- Harriet, you're wonderful.

- Oh, I don't mess around, boy.

"Ozzie and Harriet" will
be back in just a moment.

- Come on in, Thorny!

- Hi, Oz.

- Hi, boy.

- Having any luck?

- Yeah.

- How was the interview?

- Oh, swell.

Just take a look at
this rod and reel.

Aren't they beauties, though?

- Yeah, that's a beautiful set.

- I imagine that's what
you came over to see.

- Oh, yeah, surely.

Oh, by the way, did
Andy Beasley call you?

- No, not while I was home.

Why?
Was he going to?

- Well, he'll probably
call you a little later.

I was just talking
to him on the phone.

He wanted your number.

- Oh, he's a real great guy.

Did he give you a touch of
his carefree philosophy?

- Yes, I think you
might call it that.

- Oh?

I wonder what he wanted
to talk to me about.

Did he say?

- Yeah.

Yeah, he did.

He wants you and me to be
cosigners on a note of his over

at the bank.
