Hazel, Color episode
 

Season one of the Hazel show (1961) has one color episode that features a lot of vintage TV's.

First up is the Baxter family set that looks like a Zenith Space Command, later you get to see Hazels 10" Emerson, still later they take a trip to the appliance store where there are more old (new then) sets, Hazel buys a color set that you don't get to see but towards the end of the episode Mr Baxter returns to the store and buys an RCA CTC 10 or 11?

What a blast from the past I forgot about...

I'm Cowtowing....


mmm... Whitney Blake... :drool:

I have the DVD set of Hazel too and that is one my favorite episodes because of the vintage TV"s. I think RCA was one of the shows sponsors. I remember seeing a old Ad from about 1964 for RCA Color TV that featured Shirley Booth (Hazel) & Don DeFore (Mr. Baxter).

Whitney Blake (Mrs. Baxter) was a LOOKER. Her daughter is Meredith Baxter.

I laugh at the part where they go to the Appliance Store and Hazel is wearing her fancy coat that wreaks of Moth Balls and Mr. Baxter has to roll down the window in the car.

wow, I have that EXACT model CTC-11 that they bought. Thanks for posting that, Eric.

Who knows Jordan, you're close to L.A., you might have the exact set that was used on the show! :scratch2:

THAT would be too cool!

really neat ,, wow

That's a great episode, which I haven't seen! However, one of my best customers was Don DeFore. He was a great guy, and was not the typical actor. Earned a good living and invested well, but very down-to earth. No limousine for him... He drove a gold '77 Ford Granada, which he loaned to me when my water pump belt busted on Mandeville Canyon Road on the way to work on his TV.

He always had Zeniths at home, the last one being a 20" wood-cased cube style monitor from the early 90s.

Is it this one?

I always thought that NBC was full color in Prime Time from 1959 but I guess that didn't happen until the Fall of 1965...

YEP. That's the one. Nice set.

I think that would have been incredible to meet Don Defore.
 

I hope you got a picture with him or driving his car. I bet he was kind enough to have let you do so. I would bet he was much like the character he played.
It's really neat to know of and imagine such a happening.
Could you tell us what TV's he had?

I meant to ask if you could remember the specific models or the year of them?
Did he have any old TV's?

That is a real beauty.
 

I wouldn't be surprised if it was the exact set. Could have been sold at one of those auctions they have ever so often.
I hope somebody can find the missing knob.
Is that a remote set?

I just looked closer at Hazel's set.
 

It looks like it has a small hole under the lower four knobs. Is that a remote sensor hole?

I must learn to pause and think before speaking!
 

After looking at Hazel's set again I see it must be a remote as it has no channel selector knob.
