Hazel is an American sitcom about a spunky live-in maid named Hazel Burke (played by Shirley Booth) and her employers, the Baxters. The five-season, 154-episode series aired in prime time from September 28, 1961, to April 11, 1966, and was produced by Screen Gems. The first four seasons of Hazel aired on NBC, and the fifth and final season aired on CBS. Season 1 was broadcast in black-and-white except for one episode which was in color, and seasons 2–5 were all broadcast in color. The show was based on the single-panel comic strip of the same name by cartoonist Ted Key, which appeared in The Saturday Evening Post.

The Shirley Booth inspired Hazel voice is perfect!

Refreshing to watch a show with all American cars. No foreign cars. This is great.

The 1964 Buick Skylark was the most surprising car ever featured on Hazel, and to a lesser extent the 1955 Rolls Royce and the 1959 Plymouth Fury convertible since they were not brand new at the time. I get it that Ford's sponsorship had diminished by 1965-66 season, yet there was a new Ford parked on the street and the Baxters were still shown driving new 1965-66 Ford Galaxies.

Man, that was some hell of a product placement for Ford being on that show!! Good for them!

The Fords of 'Hazel'. Another Ford Country show and I love `em.

Hazel’s employer must’ve had a Ford Dealership!

Silver Blue 64 and 65 T Birds my favorite. Great Video

[mastergunnerysgt]

Thanks for the old tines Kidd, for it reminds of years that have past. For those cars did not even go past 5K in those days.

Back in those days it was Pickup Trucks, Sedans, Convertibles, Station Wagons.
We didn't have SUVS, Hummers, or those raised Monster Pickup Trucks. Then of course there was no A/C in vehicles back then.

One that I didn't see on the video was Deirdre (George's sister) driving her silver/red interior 1962 or '63 Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster. It was beautiful!

[renesagahon]

I thought it was funny how a maid can afford a brand new top of the line 63 galaxy convertible … it was really Mr Bees😂 your research on these cars is spot on

[lancasterritzyescargotdine]

Wow! This is one of the most captivating automotive time capsules I have ever discovered! The Andy Griffith Show featured a lot new and recent Ford cars, but Hazel showed them actually driving, turning and being used, rather than just looking pretty in the background, like most shows did.

Mr. B's Rangoon Red 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible is actually an XL. The '63 Futura 2-Door Sedan with vinyl roof is a prototype for the forthcoming 63 1/2 Falcon 2-Door Hardtops.

That red '64 XL convertible, Calif. lic. # GZW 571, also appeared in a corporate catalog introducing all the new '64 Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Truck products. GZW 571 was a1963 1//2 Falcon Futura hardtop assigned to the ad agency responsible for photographing the new cars. Photographed in Southern California and published in 1963, the agency used the GZW 571 plates on every car they photographed.

Thanks for putting this compendium together! I hope you will update it with the many outstanding cuts you haven't found yet!

Hazel debuted before I was born, yet I have memories of it being on at night time (primetime) when I was a small child in the 1960's, and I always liked to watch it. Therefore, I didn't get to see it much until the channels that air classic TV started airing it in the 21st century. I still love to see it and in 2024 I'm still catching some episodes for the first time.

[mimelio]

Very enjoyable video, , , Thank you I was born the year Hazel came out and it was on until I entered Kindergarten. I love the reruns..

[PapaWoody]

The funny part was that the shows back then would have a note in the credits stating that the cars were provided by this manufacturer or that. As if you'd be watching something like Family Affair and just assume that everyone in NYC drove a Pontiac.

[deepnation]

What a cool video. I used to watch Hazel in syndication in the 70s when I was a kid.

[gcfifthgear]

I used to watch "Hazel" so I could see the new Fords (and the Mustang made its debut in the episode "Let's Get Away from It All, " which aired on Thursday, April 17, 1964--the day the Mustang made its public debut!)...occasionally, Hazel, Mr. B., Missy, Rosie, etc. also appeared in "integrated commercials" at the end of the episode ❤

Now we know why Ford had such great sales numbers in the '60s, this family was responsible for at least 20% of them.

[Irishfan]

I loved the Hazel show and had a crush on Mrs B, or I really should say Whitney Blake. I was always noticing the cars. During the years, Hazel was on my dad owned a 1960 Ford Falcon and a 1963 Ford Galaxie. Later, I bought a 1963 Ford Falcon Futura convertible.

From $6K to $73K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
