Donna Reed intro

[99aa4]

wat is the name of this song????

[Dudelover7559]

I think Donna Reed died about 15 years ago or so. One of her last acting roles was temporarly playing the part of "Miss Ellie" with a "surgically altered repaired new face after having it disfigured in and accident ,on the series show DALLAS. From a artical I read in a tabloid,Donna did get to reunite one more time with her old tv family (all already older)of her old series show.

Donna Reed was absolutely hot in From Here to Eternity 1953!

[amdreamgirl23]

Are they still alive?

[bheffley2002]

@amdreamgirl23 Carl Betz passed away in 1981, a victim of lung cancer. Donna Reed passed away five years later, a victim of pancreatic cancer.

is it my imagination or do they live in the same house as the cleavers?

[Brdj010]

@wallofvideo No, The Cleavers lived in two different houses during the run of that series. The Cleavers' first house did have a similar layout as the Stones had, with the kitchen, living room, stairs and front door in the same part of the house, but it had a different style. The Cleavers' second house had the front door, stairs, and living room on an entirely opposite end of the house from where their first house and the Stones had them, facing a whole other direction.

@Brdj010 yes, i see the difference now. 

[Fiftiesflashback]

Why are these 1950s and 1960s show intros better than the entire shows that are produced now?

[nickellodeon55]

Actually it was Carl's bookie, because Carl Betz.

[LosAngeleno1959]

I always wondered who the hell was calling on the phone at the beginning of this show???

[blinko656]

Her bookie, she gambled alot...

[Mr76Yearsago]

@LosAngeleno1959 Alex Stone (Carl Betz character in the show) was a doctor. It was obvoiusly someone calling to BELLYACHE..

[RJRanke]

Honestly,could Patty Petersen really fill Shelley's void?I don't think so.(Chuckle!)

But Patty definitely made a place for herself in the Donna Reed show and was really cute-as well as being nice.I was in love with Trisha for a while.(I am only 2 1/2 weeks older than Patty.)

that its like the Munsters intro!

[mun63]

Did you realize that the opening of the Munsters was a parody of the Donna Reed Show?

[327caprice]

mun63 Very observant of you ! I watched both of these shows growing up, and never made the connection to the Munsters. Thanks for the insight and Nostalgia Caprice :)

[scottfwtx]

That is absurd. No connection.

[Juliaflo]

In my opinion, The Munsters was sort of a 'hybrid', a parody of The Donna Reed Show, plus that of Leave it to Beaver, the latter under the aegis of the Leave it to Beaver people.

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

A classic and one of the best shows in television history!

..there is another opening version where her husband doesnt forget to kiss her....i loved the show so much,it was also transmitted here in germany...thanks..

[jlomax]

Carl Betz was a hottie!! Wasn't he in Judd for the defense?

[hoosierlooker]

Yes he was!! Very good memory!

[lastochkas]

Yes, one of the best all time shows, truly...

[tolstoyman2]

Season 4 Also? Rare indeed. Never saw it on Nick at Night... Hope they have a bunch of added on stuff...I have heard nothing in the press on this...I will definately be interested since it is one of the classic shows of my youth!

[lastochkas]

I hear the first season is coming out on DVD in October and they will have a rollout of the first five seasons over a couple of years.

Includes the very rare season 4 - which never aired post-original broadcast in the 1960's. Wow.

[burtonrules123]

omg i think donna reed is an amazingly beautiful woman but that HAIR has GO TO GO!

[BestManMe09]

This Donna Reed Show had on at least two eps actor Harvey Korman. He was later on America 2Night with the naturally lobotomized Martin Mull. Mull admitted in a 1978 interview with Newsweek that he never yelled in reallife (thus the naturally lobotomized moniker). Must have been weird for Korman to work with Mull when almost normal adults have yelled on occasion!

[gymnastix]

This is a variation on the opening title sequence with the original cast, this one with a more modern font.

And there was yet a third, opening sequence with Donna sporting a more modern, 1960's hairstyle & fashions, and with new cast member Patty Petersen, most notable for Donna too leaves the house in that one.

How come this ends abruptly, before its actual completion?

Paul Peterson rules!

[gottogosome]
