Sometimes you need to take a break from a particular show and watch a few others; there are many great shows out there. After a while, if you return to Hazel, you might see the show with new eyes.

Really great show! Wawwie mentioned her French toast--that's one item I don't remember being mentioned in the show, but I'm usre it was delicious. I want her blueberry pancakes!

In another thread the "Gracie" actress, Linda Watkins, was mentioned. That first Gracie episode was one of the best in the series because of her. She started out like Clark Kent and ended up like Superman after Hazel was through with her.

I'm also kind of taking a break from Hazel right now. Previously I'd watch the same episodes on DVD, that Antenna TV showed that day. Except season 5, which I never bought.

Season 5 is awful (IMHO) I too only have 1-4 on DVD, yet I still watch everyday on Antenna TV (except when it’s a post George & Dorothy episode)

Season 5 isn't bad, it's just different because George & Dorothy aren't there. The main thing missing from season 5 is the chemistry between Hazel and Mr. B., she doesn't have quite the same chemistry with Mr. Steve. Lynn Borden is cute looking and I actually prefer her over Whitney Blake. I have the 5th season DVD, my Hazel collection would be incomplete without it.

I agree that S5 isn’t bad, but I liked the first four seasons FAR MORE. S5 is where the show JTS’d for me.

I used to not like the 5th season so much either but over the past couple of decades I've changed my mind. I like the 5th season now too, it's just different from the other 4, but it's really not bad. Other than Hazel continuing to run roughshod over the family (to which both Mr. B's should have fired her the first day, but then there wouldn't have been a show). I like Steve & Barbara's sexy in her own odd way. But Whitney is still hot.

The fifth season is certainly OK, but not great like the first four. That’s why S5 JTS for me.
