Hazel Time

by Ted Key

Hazel is a competent, take-charge, live-in maid in the home of George Baxter (Don DeFore), a partner in the law firm of Butterworth, Hatch, Noll & Baxter, and known as "Mr. B" to Hazel, his interior decorator wife Dorothy (Whitney Blake), whom Hazel calls "Missy", their schoolboy son Harold (Bobby Buntrock), known by Hazel as "Sport", and the family dog Smiley. Hazel had worked with Dorothy's family before, so she knew her best. The series humorously dramatizes Hazel's life with the Baxters and her friendships with others in the neighborhood such as postman Barney Hatfield (Robert Williams), taxi-driving Mitch Brady (Dub Taylor), and Rosie Hammaker (Maudie Prickett), another maid in the area. Johnny Washbrook, formerly of My Friend Flicka, guest starred as Hazel's nephew, Eddie Burke
