But if you pray to God and seek the favor of the Almighty and if you are pure and live with integrity, he will surely rise up and restore your happy home.And though you started with little, you will end with much.
Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding.For wisdom is more profitable than silver and her wages are better than gold.Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.She offers you long life in her right hand and riches and honor in her left.She will guide you down delightful paths; all her ways are satisfying. Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her; happy are those who hold her tightly.
Hold your tongue. Zip it. Keep it from speaking evil and cursing the day. The power of life and death are in your mouth so learn to control it which goes back to wisdom. (Proverbs 18:21) If you want to enjoy life and have happy days then you have to stop grumbling and complaining such behavior reveals that your faith is a lie when both blessing and cursing comes out! (James 3:9-10)It outs unbelief. Doubt is disclosed when our mouth is mumbling and grumbling while we declare to be waiting on the Lord rather than rejoicing that He is coming! Such a pursuit in overcoming the power of your tongue will actually bring peace in your life as body, mind and soul come into alignment. The pursuit of knowledge and understanding is producing more and more faith that by holding our tongue we protect as it grows into wisdom! When we gain control over our words, it will build our faith and allow overflowing joy and happiness as the heart and tongue begin to agree that Jesus Christ is Lord over every situation! It will allow us to be partners with Jesus Christ for His Glory! (I Peter 4:13-14)
"Having three members of the cast of Happy Days here celebrating 50 years of happy days for them, as well as a handful of other stars from that era. There's a ton of buzz around coming and meeting some of everybody's heroes," said Iola Car Show Executive Director, Joe Opperman.
"We are standing right now in one of the new features - the G and B Chrysler dealership. This is going to get a ton of attention. We're in a room that looks like a 1950s Chrysler, Plymouth dealership complete with vehicles, and literature and signage equipment. This space is really going to blow some people away," Opperman said.
Very nice commentary! You answered many of my questions. The only thing I'm having difficulty with is finding Hazel season 5!! It doesn't seem to be anywhere. Where did you find yours? Thanks for the nice overview. phot...@yahoo.com
Thanks for the comment! I would expect Shout Factory to get around to releasing season 5 of Hazel on DVD sometime later this year, but I watched it on Antenna TV, which shows all the show's seasons as part of its rotation.
It was sponsored by Ford the first 4 seasons, then after the cast change for season 5 they drove everything. Did see a season 5 episode I liked on 6-10-13. Hazel bought a 1959 plymouth Fury in mint condition for 525.00. Man I wish I had a time machine!
How about it? I guess the Ford sponsorship explains the opening sequence of them piling in the family automobile. Didn't know that about the change in season 5. I'm about to dive back into season 1 and watch the black and white episodes...
Wow. (Expression of shock). I'm currently watching this show via DVD's from the local library and that's seriously a downer.
While most would not like to have a spoiler like that known before-hand,it actually helps me to know this information.
Before late july,I had never seen an episode of Hazel,it simply was never run here in Phoenix (to my recollection). So now,this evening,I'm into disc 2 of Season 3 and I can already see the cracks of repetition showing in the series.
Whitney Blake isn;t in a few shows,Harold doesn;t seem to be aging at all after 2 years,Mr. Griffin is becoming tiresome,as is the tension betwen Hazel & George's sister.
No Baxters except Harold huh? Oh,well. I'll stil watch all the way to the end but yes,taht a BIG goof on CBS's part back then. I don;t see Shirley Booth doing a "power play".
Besides,given what the world became a short time later and how TV changed between '66 and 1970,"Hazel" would have been finished anyway.
Thanks, Walter, for the thoughtful comments. In fairness to me, it becomes clear early on what the deal is with season 5, so you would have known right away.
I'd still recommend sticking it out even though you nailed two of the most tiresome characters/elements of the series: Griffin and George's sister.
Season 5 is worth it just for "My Son, the Sheepdog." You make an interesting comment about how the world changed as the series progressed--just wait till you see that episode's hopelessly square take on rock and roll.
Cool that your library stocks the DVDs!
"My Son the Sheepdog" episode is only a slight exaggeration of how
I was treated in 1966 when I stopped using Brycreem and combed my hair in bangs at age 8. As ridiculous as the episode plays, it's very real to the way my Father
and the school teachers of the day
reacted to things at that time. My
Father called "Drums" which I wanted to play, "Hippie". He would
brush his hair to his forehead with
his hand and say, "Man I'm Cool".
That Does make the season 5 worth wanting just to re-witness this
absurd truth of 1966.
Also, I believe that Hazel's poem
in that episode may be the source
of the band name "Deep Purple".
And looking at their (DP)success shows
just how short-sided the parents were about the lucrativeness of kids starting a band.
Your comparsion of Steve Baxter to Dick Sargent's drab take on Darrin Stevens is absolutley bang-on. Steve Baxter immediately comes off as "missing something" that his brother had. At the same time, I enjoyed Barbara Baxter just as much as Dorothy Baxter. They are both attractive blondes and have very friendly personalities. Unlike Harold, Susie Baxter is pointless to the show. In the intro she just stares forward like a zombie and then suddenly smiles as if the director yelled out "Somebody tell that brat to smile." No wonder Harold continued to hold the spotlite in many episodes. Still though, it's Hazel and it wasn't too bad. Even the episodes with the original Baxter's was losing its flair by season 4. Still thought, this is one of my top ten favorite television shows of all time!!!
I,like my predecessors,agree that the show in its final season wasn't nearly as good without Don Defore and Meredith baxter. Once again artistic decisions are based uPon monetary decisions--the old bottom line,which may be good for the stations that run the show but not for the audience. thank you. B
The last network broadcast of Hazel was on April 11, 1966. That will be 50 years ago.
It is amazing that the show, regardless of the season, is being shown today. I didn't even know about Hazel until I started watching it on Antenna TV a few years ago. My mom watched this show with my grandmother when she was a little girl.
I agree with the other comment that most shows get worn out over time. MASH is a great example. Once BJ grew his moustache and started to wear converse shoes, red suspenders, and a pink undershirt with an army shirt with the sleeves removed, I lost interest. Anything past season 6 is terrible.
Ray Fulmer isn't as bad as Dick Sargent's character on Bewitched. Ironically, Dick was on Hazel as Mr. Griffin's nephew in season 2.
Regardless, the older shows no matter what season are better than anything on tv today. "For Pete's sake."
I'm retired and drive a School Bus and one of my young riders is a cute little girl named Hazel. As she sits up front waiting to get off I've often gotten into conversations with her telling her that I watch a show named after her, Hazel. She finds that weird and funny every time I bring it up. It's a strange name to me and one you don't hear anymore, I mean who would deliberatly name there child Hazel? I recall watching the shows when they first appeared. I try and explain this character to her along with some of the episodes and the strange looks on Hazels face are priceless. There's really no point to my story other than I find a little girl named Hazel in today's world funny.
