The Adventures Of Ozzie And Harriet


            "The Adventure's of Ozzie and Harriet" was a television sitcom .
             The characters were Ozzie (father), Harriet (mother), .
             Ricky (oldest brother), and David (youngest brother). Although this .
             family seems perfect, nothing is ever perfect. .
             "Ozzie and Harriet" is an example of many things wrong with a .
             family sitcom. One of the things wrong with this show is its lack of .
             reality. People who watch "Ozzie and Harriet" feel that their own family .
             members should have the same relationship as this television family. Mr. .
             Curtis writes, " .they love to walk into rooms of the house and greet .
             each other. Scene after scene begins with: "Hi Mom. Hi, Pop"". In a .
             normal family, we don't greet each other every time we see each other. .
             We just might pass by each other without a thing to say. But according to .
             the show, the ideal family would say hello with a smile. .
             The show did have some problems that were not life changing but .
             became more like daily obstacles that the family had to overcome. The .
             Nelson family's problems consisted of, Harriet's decision to change her .
             hairstyle or Ozzy's chance to spend time with his kids. These problems .
             seem petty in comparison with the social problems of that time. Despite .
             this show being a reality show, it doesn't address any real world problems .
             of that time. During that time, there was oppression of women, .
             discrimination of minorities, domestic violence, sexual harassment, etc. .
             The family in the show, does not encounter any of these problems. .
             As Gregory Curtis writes:.
             "The plots, such as they are, often concern events or issues from the .
             daily life of the Nelson's. Will Ozzie play ping-pong in the father .
             and son tournament with David or Ricky? Is David old enough to .
             have his own key to the house? Should Harriet change her .
             hairstyle?".
             It almost seems as if the Nelson's were trapped in a bubble and .
             shunned from the outside world. The family seems to be unaffected .
