YMMV / The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet

• Older Than They Think: Ricky Nelson's musical career being promoted on the show means that he predated The Monkees as America's first TV-promoted rock and roll Teen Idol by a decade. He was also a pioneer in music video, judging from this promo of him singing "Travelin' Man", filmed as part of an episode in 1961.
• Unintentional Period Piece:
  • Ricky Nelson biographer Philip Bashe noted that, in the show's later years, the material focusing on Ozzie, Harriet and their friends and neighbors stayed fairly timeless, but David and Ricky in college looked way outdated, with their ultra-clean cut frat brothers and their Wacky Fratboy Hijinks, looking more like Ozzie's Rutgers days back in The Roaring '20s than anything from The '60s.
  • Ozzie's Girls pretty much openly acknowledged how out of date the Ozzie and Harriet worldview was in The '70s, with the Nelsons trying hard to adapt.
