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

Another helping of Hazel November 27, 2008
Watched this back in the 1980s when CBN was showing it. Before that I initially discovered this show on TBS. TBS has always been fickle with the more obscure classics, so when Hazel was airing on The CBN Network with reruns 4pm each afternoon, I was hooked.
This is one of the greatest sitcoms from the 1960s & if you've never seen the show & go in for wholesome family shows, then I couldn't recommend this one more. Money well spent.
I just hope the remaining seasons are in the works from Sony. I sent them an e-mail & received a gracious reply in an efficient manner stating my e-mail will be forwarded to the necessary department.
Also, TVShowsOnDVD is a site you can cast a vote toward more releases of this program. But I would strongly advise dropping an e-mail to Sony as well.

When will more seasons of HAZEL be released??? October 10, 2008
Sony, please, please release more Hazel DVD's! This is the best in family entertainment. My children, ages 9 and 12, love this series and we are anxiously awaiting the release of the subsequent seasons. What do we need to do to get these released?
REALLY CUTE,REALLY WHOLSOME SHOW. August 28, 2008
I remember Hazel as a young boy and i don't remember being that crazy about it,would watch sometimes if nothiong else was on(with the title HAZEL it seemed like a girley show).So I took a chance when i buyhg this set off Amazon.I have tried "many" DVD shows sets from my youth that i used to like as a kid(some turned out to be enjoyable,some did not).Most of them pale in comparison to the Andy griffith sHow of which i am a BIG fan.So anyway to make a long story short,i was EXTREMELY SUPRISED and DELIGHTED to find out just how CUTE and WHOLESOME and FUNNY show the HAZEL SHOW is.I will definately be buying the second season as soon as its released(am signed up on AMAZON to be notified as soon as it does).
