Hazel - Everybody's Thankful But Us Turkeys-Part 3 of 3

I don't know how many remember this show, but with this Thanksgiving Episode, you can certainly get the idea of what the show was about. In fact, it pretty much was faithful to the character in the Ted Key's comics.

Academy Award winner Shirley Booth plays Hazel, who is the Baxters maid. But besides being the made she is busy sticking her nose into every aspect of the Baxter's life. She was, I suppose, considered one of the family which brings me to my comment on this episode which I viewed for the first time in preparing for this upload. (I may have seen it years ago but my memory fails me in this instance.)

I find it odd that Hazel has to be especially invited to sit down with the Family for Thanksgiving dinner. It seems to me that with everything she does for the Baxters, this would have been a no brainer. Anyway, I sure hope she was paid well.

The show may have originally aired almost 50 years ago but the gentle humor mixed in with a message about caring about family and friends is timeless. One of my favorite episodes. Thank you for posting it.

How come no shows today have someone giving thanks to the Lord?

@buzzclick500 It's what people who can't afford dish watch today. Fortunately I have Directv but when we decided to put a tv downstairs on antenna only (for when the dish goes out in bad weather) we discovered antenna tv & the antenna channel that covers all these wonderulf shows!

George's mother DID return for parts of the 3rd season when Dorthy had to help a relitive, but a DIFFERANT actress was recast in the role however

@juakma : But there IS an Internet, and therefore, there is a God. ;])

@tink33197 : ....What's an antenna....?

Put a pound of butter in the pan, cover the turkey completely and tightly around the edges of the pan with aluminum foil and cook at 325 degrees for 4 to 5 hours. ;])
