Transcript

The adventures of Ozzy and Harriet transcribed and starring the entire Nelson family, Ozzy, Harriet, David and Ricky. I'd say this is a typical Saturday morning in the Nelson household. There's Harriet, wife and mother of the Nelson clan, starting off her day with a little light dusting there in the living room.

And those three motionless figures there on the demand are husband Ozzy and sons David and Ricky. Oh, don't get the idea they're loafing. Oh, certainly not. just a case of men being more efficient than women.

Why, without moving a muscle, they're collecting more dust than Harriet. It's certainly a beautiful morning, isn't it, boys? I'll say, nice and warm. Almost like summer. Ah, that's wonderful. Harriet, how is it outside? Honestly, you three, it's nine o'clock and you aren't even out of your pajamas yet.

For goodness sakes, there are things to be done. How many help you with something, Mom? Oh, yes, me too. I don't offer to help, but I have to get started on my schoolwork. Don't be this a Saturday. You don't have any schoolwork today.

It just so happens I have some homework for Monday. Why don't you do it the same as always on the school bus Monday morning? That was such a wise guy. I just have to study.

What the heck's going on? You've been a regular bookworm all week. I'm just trying to improve my grades a little. Well, you haven't had any trouble, have you? Not exactly. Except in science. Just because I'm not at the top of the class, the teacher keeps harping that I can do better.

Well, she's probably just trying to keep you up there with the A students. And who's your teacher? Mrs. Burton. Didn't she used to be David's teacher? Yeah, that's a trouble. She's always comparing my grades to the ones he got.
