Shirley Booth summed HAZEL when she told the Saturday Evening Post
"Good situation comedy makes the audience feel that the things that happen in their daily lives are important. By dramatizing these things -- actions as commonplace, perhaps, as cleaning out a closet or washing the dishes -- a show can make their lives more interesting. There's no violence on HAZEL, there's plenty of emphasis on the home, and it shows people how members of a healthy family behavior toward one another."
from pg 209 of LOVE IS THE REASON FOR IT ALL, THE SHIRLEY BOOTH STORY
