    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 decor (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

    5 out of 5 stars Come Back, Little Hazel   July 4, 2009
    Tim Crawford (Maryland, USA)
    Hazel - The Complete First Season

    Hazel, please come back and give us another delightful season to embrace!!

    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 get it.

    I wonder: has everyone clicked on the Hazel Season 2 link to be apprised of when Season 2 is released? I read somewhere that Amazon sometimes sends those figures to the studio or company that owns the show. This gives them a ballpark figure of how many people will buy, from Amazon, at least.

    "Mr. B, I had to let them pants out again, and that's it. There ain't nothing more to let out if you get even fatter. Oh no! No desert." LOL

    Does anyone else feel my pain?

    TC



    5 out of 5 stars Great item   June 2, 2009
    S. Loewen (Salem, Or)
    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. There are 154 episodes in all 5 seasons, and that seller does not even give you 3 seasons...some of them are duplicates of those, so you are missing about 60 episodes. After the first season which took 5 out of the 12 disks, the video is just awful! Here are some of the problems with them:


    Too bright/glarey/washed out - white - so bright that it hurts your eyes - can hardly see facial features or details
    glitchy
    massive encoding errors - digits marching across the screen
    pauses/freezes - we have to restart the disc to get it to play again
    warbly audio/video
    choppy audio/video
    the sound is either on one speaker or the other, not on both sides as it should be
    bits and pieces of commercials
    black screen (blank spaces during episodes)
    very fuzzy picture (poor encoding / recorded off very weak cable channel)
    blue spot in the middle of the screen for whole episodes
    makes buzzing noises, strange sounds, warbled voices
    some episodes are repeated one after the other
    screen flips vertically (like a faulty Vertical-Hold switch)
    menu screens are recorded in place of whole episodes
    screen flutters
    green spot on screen
    corrupted video on many episodes


    Incomplete - not all 5 seasons of episodes are here:

    Discs 1-5 are the 1st season (35 episodes duplicated off the legitimate release).

    Discs 6-12 include 56 additional episodes (some of them are duplicated), for a total of 91 episodes (minus dupes)- about 85 total.

    The first 3 seasons ran a total of 99 episodes. This means that this set does not contain enough episodes for the first 3 seasons, let alone the 5 seasons/154 episodes that Hazel ran.

    These are just awful.....and the total price was $80.62 for under 3 seasons represented as 5. They are not worth your money. We all need to encourage Sony to release the other 4 seasons of Hazel so we can all enjoy them remastered and in nice watchable condition.

    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.

    Hazel is a timeless television series that makes you laugh with well written, good clean fun and humor that is really missing in today's sitcoms. My six year old laughs along by my side as we enjoy watching season 1 over and over again. I hope that Sony is planning on releasing all five seasons and soon. My younger sister introduced me to season 1 as she loves the series just as much! Please release more soon! Our family is a big fan!
