Classic TV Theme: HAZEL Theme Collection (1961-1966) Complete [RE-ENGINEERED in DYNA-STEREO]

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 title by cartoonist Ted Key, which appeared in The Saturday Evening Post. While the weekly show began with an instrumental theme song composed by the team of Sammy Cahn and James Van Heusen, the closing credits during the first eight shows of the inaugural season played the song with lyrics sung by The Modernaires. There were different theme songs as the series progressed, including later versions by Howard Greenfield, Helen Miller, and Jack Keller, arranged by Van Alexander. The original NBC series starred Don DeFore and Whitney Blake as George and Dorothy Baxter. When CBS picked up the series for the 5th season, they replaced DeFore and Blake with Ray Fulmer and Lynn Borden who played the character George’s younger brother and sister-in-law. Julia Benjamin was added to the cast as their daughter, Suzie. CBS felt a younger cast would improve the ratings. The CBS broadcast began Sept. 13, 1965. Of note, Van Alexander composed and arranged the version of the Screen Gems logo animation seen at the end of this video. #tvthemesongs #classictv #hazel
