Product Description:
Everyone s favorite housekeeper comes to DVD! Oscar®-Winner Shirley Booth (1952 Actress in a leading role Come Back Little Sheba) won two Emmy® Awards for her portrayal of Hazel Burke in this beloved series based on cartoons in The Saturday Evening Post. More than just a live-in maid and cook for the Baxter family Hazel is the glue that holds their household together. Successful corporate lawyer George Baxter (Emmy®-nominee Don DeFore) may run a tight ship at the office but at the end of the day when he comes home to wife Dorothy (Whitney Blake) and son Harold (Bobby Buntrock) he enters Hazel s domain. She knows what needs doing and regularly speaks up with alarming candor pre-empting George s authority with liberal doses of common sense wisdom.System Requirements:Run Time: 910 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 043396150713 Manufacturer No: 15071

Hooray for Hazel! Shirley Booth stars as the irrepressible housekeeper Hazel in the endearing family TV series that ran from 1961 to 1966. A brilliant character actress, Booth wisecracks her way through Hazel's life, solving the problems of her employers, the often-befuddled Baxter family, as well as of the community (busting a shoplifting ring, finding homes for stray dogs, exposing a group of financial swindlers). All this Hazel does with her cheerful working-class enthusiasm, without getting so much as a stray wrinkle in her crisply pressed maid uniform (complete with little head thingy). When she gets into her own scrapes, she shrugs them off with Brooklynese cracks like, "Looks like I'm in the soup again!" The show is a perfect snapshot of early 1960s America, complete with frozen-in-time décor (did everyone have that same print of the little-girl ballet dancer framed in their living room?) and a lovely leisurely pace. Hazel can make an entire episode out of one single premise, as when Mr. Baxter decides that an unlisted phone number might cut down on the number of crank phone calls. And who wouldn't be nostalgic for a time when middle-class households had a working dad, a mostly-stay-at-home mom, perfectly behaved kids--and live-in housekeepers? Part of the appeal of Hazel, though, is that it's clear her life is much broader than her occupation. She knows everyone in town, from the balloon guy at the local park to the most powerful judge on the bench--all of which eventually comes in handy. And did we mention she's a cham-peen league bowler? Booth won two well-deserved Emmys for her portrayal of Hazel. The boxed set includes all 35 25-minute episodes, and you won't want to miss a one. I'm talking to youse! --A.T. Hurley

Hazel - The Complete First Season
I just don't understand it. This show was a huge hit. In the Fall of 1961 Hazel debuted. Americans fell in love with the show, because it ended its first season at number four for the entire year. Westerns were the big thing back then because the top 3 were Gunsmoke, Bonanza and Wagon Train.
I see other television shows of the period that IMO just aren't up to par, and not very funny, releasing their third, fourth, fifth seasons. I just don't ... Read More

This first season of Hazel is absolutely wonderful. The quality is great, and it isn't tiring to watch it again and again. I decided to try the full 5 seasons sold on tvdvdboxsets.com and have now filed a dispute with my credit card company against the seller. Anyone who has ordered these from them know this is the worst quality dvd set on the internet. They are just horrible after you get beyond the first season, as those were copied off the released set. They come from China...they are pirated. ... Read More

Great product. Brings back memories of how well some of the series from the 60s were done.

We enjoyed this show growing up. I just got season 1 and we love it. It is still wonderful even though it is in black and white. It is sad, as another person said, that there is only one season out. I want to own and see the rest of the seasons. Sony needs to come out with the rest.
