Movie Reviews
Only 1 episode is watchable!
Movie Nut | New York USA | 01/08/2006
(3 out of 5 stars)
"This 2 episode DVD is really only 1 episode, since you can not watch the first episode. 'The Late Christmas Gift' which is from 1954 is so grainy that it is difficult to watch without getting eye strain or a headache! I was very disapointed to have spent the money on what I thought was 2 shows, and I could only watch the second episode from 1956. The one thing that makes this worth buying is a commerical by Ozzie & Harriet for the New York World's Fair (1965). Since I went as child, it brought back some found memories. Again let me stress the second episode is fine and very enjoyable. Even Ricky sings a Christmas song at the end, so it was not a total waste of money."
Very disappointing video quality

"First let me say that I love Ozzie and Harriet but this DVD is a major disappointment. One of the shows is so grainy and blurry that it could pretty much only be listened to as it was hard on the eyes to view. I hope in the future so see these shows digitally remastered and will check for that before purchasing any more DVDs of theirs. I gave it two stars for the stories but it did not deserve more due to the quality of the DVD picture."

"I grew up with the Nelson Family, loved their show, had a big crush on Ricky, still have a fan picture of him in my "memory room". I wish they'd bring them back to Nick at Night, this world needs shows like that."
Could be better
