Hazel Season 4
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
Yesterday would have been SHIRLEY BOOTH’S 118TH BIRTHDAY. She wasn’t the only ” BAXTER FAMILY MEMBER” to have had a BIRTHDAY THIS MONTH. BOBBY BUNTROCK’S BIRTHDAY WOULD HAVE BEEN ON AUGUST 04, 2016. He would have been 64 YEARS OLD. AND DON DEFORE’S BIRTHDAY WAS LAST THURSDAY, ON AUGUST 25, 2016. He would have been 103 YEARS OLD. This season had some changes. When the season opens, the Opening Credit on the first Episode: “NEVER TROUBLE TROUBLE”, is the “Toll Collector”. This Credit Opening was used in the last Episode in Season 3 in 1964. It was also used during the 1964 Summer Reuns. Then one more time for the Opening Credits on the first Episode of Season 4. Every Opening Episode after that one is the “Keys” Opening. On some of the Episodes, we see “Colorful Dancing Sticks”. There is even a “FORD CAR COMMERCIAL” during the “Closing Credits” on Episode 16: “CHAMPAGNE TONY”.
Other changes are: DOROTHY’S hair goes back and forth between a little longer to a shorter hairdo. HAZEL’S hair color changed from Brown to a deeper red, fuller, and a bit more stylish hairdo. That seemed to gave happened a few times during this Season. HAROLD is a bit taller. And GEORGE is a little chunkier. Now I know that these are not changes to the show. Only physical changes concerning the cast. Also SHIRLEY’S weight subtlety went up and down a bit, too.
This is the Last Season that has any HOLIDAY EPISODES. Episode 11: “A LESSON IN DIPLOMACY”, which aired on 11-26-1964, is a THANKSGIVING EPISODE. And Episode 15: “JUST 86 SHOPPING MINUTES TO CHRISTMAS”, which aired on 12-24-1964. We also find out this Season on Episode 14: “HAZEL SQUARES THE TRIANGLE”, that “NANCY THOMPSON”, played in Seasons 1 and 2 by DAVEY DAVISON, GEORGE’S NIECE, has gotten married, except her husband name is never mentioned. THIS IS ALSO THE SEASON IN WHICH GEORGE, AND DOROTHY DISAPPEARS WHEN IT ENDS. After this Season, we also will no longer see: MR. GRIFFIN, MR. EGAN, OR ANY MORE OF GEORGE’S FRIENDS OR BUSINESS ASSOCIATES, GEORGE’S SECRETARY, PLAYED BY MOLLY DODD, MOST OF HAZEL’S FRIENDS, THE JOHNSONS, OR SMILEY,THE DOG. This was also the last year that HAZEL WAS AIRED ON NBC. It went to “CBS” FOR THE 5TH and FINAL SEASON.
