Return to the warmth and humor of classic American television with Hazel Seasons 1-5 Complete Series DVD Set. Starring Shirley Booth in her celebrated title role, the series follows the daily adventures of Hazel Burke, a confident and highly capable live-in housekeeper who usually knows what the Baxter family needs before they do. Bringing all five seasons together, this collection allows viewers to enjoy the complete journey of one of television’s most memorable comedy characters.
About the Series
Hazel is based on the popular character created by cartoonist Ted Key. At the center of the series is the Baxter household, where Hazel works as housekeeper but often becomes the person truly in charge. George Baxter may be a successful lawyer outside the home, but his authority is regularly challenged by Hazel’s practical thinking, strong personality and talent for solving problems. Dorothy Baxter and their son Harold complete the familiar household around which many of the show’s stories develop.
Story & Humor
The comedy comes from everyday misunderstandings, family situations, neighborhood problems and Hazel’s determination to make things right. Her solutions do not always follow George’s plans, but they are usually guided by common sense and genuine concern for the people around her. Rather than depending on exaggerated situations, the series builds its humor through character relationships, witty conversations and the contrast between Hazel’s working-class confidence and George’s frequently frustrated attempts to remain in control.
Character Highlights
Shirley Booth gives Hazel a combination of warmth, independence and comic timing that makes the character immediately recognizable. Hazel can be outspoken and stubborn, yet her loyalty to the Baxter family remains at the heart of the show. George’s reactions to Hazel’s decisions create much of the comedy, while Dorothy and Harold help give the series its comfortable family atmosphere. As the seasons progress, changing relationships and household situations provide new settings for Hazel’s distinctive personality.
Why Customers Like It
Hazel remains appealing because its humor is built around recognizable personalities and everyday family life. The series offers a relaxed viewing experience for audiences who enjoy vintage sitcoms, domestic comedy and character-driven television.
