America's favorite maid, Hazel, returns to DVD once again with Shout! Factory's release of Hazel - The Complete Fourth Season! The four disc set brings 26 more episodes (the last ones to air on NBC and to feature the entire original cast) to DVD for the very first time. The series, based upon the Saturday Evening Post comic strip by Ted Key, follows Hazel (Shirley Booth) and her everyday dealings with the Baxter family, George (Don DeFore), Dorothy (Whitney Blake), and Harold (Bobby Buntrock). In this batch of episodes, we see a protest erupt when the Baxters attempt to host the Governor at their home, George proposing a mind-your-own-business rule (any guesses as to why?), Hazel getting thrown into the slammer, and more!

Please post any questions or comments about this set.

Nice review, I just want to add that I believe the episode It's A Dog's Life is indeed edited, not time compressed. I posted about this in detail in another thread. The episode Welcome Back Kevin is also edited, but this edit is very small and does not detract from the enjoyment of the episode.

The audio quality in the 4th season DVD is good, the soundtracks are crisp and clear. Video quality is not that great but is adequate. Some episodes are in better shape than others. Colors are generally faded and pale. Aside from the one edited episode, Hazel fans should be pleased with this DVD set. Two of my favorite episodes from this season are Champagne Tony and Stop Rockin Our Reception. Hopefully, the 5th and final season will be released in 2013.
