    This even became a running gag for nightclub comics: the question "What does Ozzie Nelson do for a living?" was prime trivia. For the record, he was a bandleader; because most of the action of Ozzie and Harriet was set on weekends when the boys were out of school, his occupation was never a factor. But the notion persisted as the times changed-here was a family from Neverland, far away from Real Life. Along with Father Knows Best and Leave It to Beaver, Ozzie and Harriet is most frequently cited as the epitome of sitcom fantasy.
