True, 'maytag'. However, the kitchen appliances (at least, during the NBC era) seen on "HAZEL" were supplied by RCA/Whirlpool; even though they never directly sponsored the show, RCA {NBC's parent company} wanted to be SURE viewers saw the latest Whirlpool appliances, AND that RCA Victor color TV in the Baxter's living room [especially when they were promoting the fact the show was in "Living Color", and used Shirley's and Don's faces in a few RCA TV ads].
@CRAIGSCORNER1 Whitney Blake was very pretty. I think Meredith Baxter is pretty too. I don't judge someone on their sexual preference, why should you? That's none of my business!
The good ole days, when a man made a living and his wife stayed home with the kid(s) and didn't have to work if she didn't want to. And a maid, to boot? Cool. What a hubby. Where are the men like that these days?
Shirley Booth (Hazel) was blind in her last years and died after a brief illness at her home in North Chatham (Cape Cod), Massachusetts. She is interred in Mount Hebron Cemetery, Montclair, New Jersey.
This "wife" was gorgeous and she had a full time job as an interior designer, that's why she had help. Also, Hazel was her childhood nanny and she was like family to "Missy." Wow, buddy...you seem to be a 1950s throwback...just saying. LOL
Didn't Whitney Blake appear on the Andy Griffith show as a bikini-clad lawyer? Also, I read somewhere that she created the TV show, "One Day at a Time". She should've played the lead!
and it shows your ignorance...the man behind Hazel wasnt even American but an immigrant..Ted Key...i just love those who speak and make themselves look like Lassie...or should i say Ass-ie!! lol
I think television shows where sooooo much better before homosexuals, blacks, mexicans, puerto ricans, liberals, etc. and unbridled sex was put into them. If you don't like my comments, then move to a country where free speech is discouraged.
@Aquitat ehh i have my money on Hazel, i would F--K her all night, she has bigger breasts and a bigger ass than whitney blake. plus hazel is more energetic so she would probably be better in bed!
First time I've seen the '61-'62 opening with the Country Squire station wagon since -- well -- 1962! (The first '61-'62 opening showed Hazel pulling freshly-baked cookies out of the Baxters' oven.)
Ty loved this show

Whitney Blake was much more beautiful and glamorous than her daughter Meredith Baxter. She was also straight, which is definitely a plus. LOL

The opening title seen here was, of course, used to subtly promote the sponsor's product. It was never seen in syndicated prints...
1:15- "'HAZEL', is brought to you by.....FORD, on behalf of your Ford dealer, who invites you to see the new line of Fords for '62...".
Originally telecast on April 19, 1962.

@fromthesidelines They did the same thing on Bewitched. They sported Frigidaire Appliances and Chevrolet cars because G. M was their sponsor.
