It's clear that Ozzie (as producer and director) focused the show around himself. An awful excuse for an actor, his "acting" is mechanical, stiff. And amateurish. He should have stuck to music or at least stayed on radio. Harriet does OK and the boys are as good as most of the other kid TV actors of the day. Defore as the neighbor Thorny is his usual solid-self, and often the other character actors are fine.
The show is the typical 50s family show - typical family situations and crises. The jokes are typical and still play well enough. It's a light show, worth tuning in if there's nothing else on and you don't feel like getting up to do anything useful. It'll entertain you in small doses, but don't binge-watch.
