Calvinistic Cartoons: Wisdom from the Nelsons: Few may remember how heavy the theological content was on "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet". Here is an episode where little Ricky Nels...
And then, there was the one where Ricky blurted out, "Well, I figure that I can't please everyone, so I've got to please Myself," and Ozzie sent him to his room to meditate on Romans 15:2-3.
And who can forget the time that Ozzie assembled the family together as witnesses as he telephoned Ward Cleaver to confess that he had momentarily harbored slight anger in his heart toward him after overhearing someone say, "The Beaver's dad is the coolest"? The touching moment came when Ward confided that he also has had similar feelings about Ozzie.
Oh, I remember it well... Like the episode where David told his parents that he had decided to go to Bible College and major in Gymnastics.
