Ozzie_And_Harriet

Ozzie And Harriet “The Adventure’s of Ozzie and Harriet” was a television sitcom shown in the 1950’s. 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.
