Who is on the tv?

What person / movie / tv show is on the TVs during this sequence of American Graffiti?

This is around 53:00. It looks like there are two different scenes- the main one looks easier to identify but I'll take either one.

Best answer: Ozzie and Harriet. The handsome young man is their son Ricky Nelson.

Response by poster: Thank you! I now see that that was on IMDB- doh. Any ideas about the other one?

What other one? You mean the Western?

I don't know what the western is, but that's Ozzie Nelson with his son Ricky.

Best answer: According to wikipedia, American Griffiti took place in August of 1962. Also, according to wikipedia, the 1962-1963 season didn't start until September of 1962. So they would have still been in the 1961-1962 season. There were two westerns that ran opposite Ozzie and Harriet in that season. They were Frontier Circus and Outlaws. My money is on Outlaws.
