Most parents in America were still  concerned that rock would be a bad influence on their children and  many wrote letters to Ozzie and Harriet Hilliard (qv) protesting  their allowing their son to take part in the music. The Nelsons  dealt with the furor by injecting moments in the episodes in which  Ozzie and/or Harriet would offer a sound and practical reasoning for  supporting their sons music. With that, the furor died down and  Ricky went on to become a major rocker with hits like "Its Late",  "Traveling Man" and "Hello, Mary Lou".
