1. Come see the existential brilliance of hundreds of arches and other world-renowned red rock formations. And do so with a high-quality production from a company specializing in National Parks videos.
   
   Just about any Finley-Holiday video will be worth your money. High-quality shooting, good cinematography, informative voice-overs and very fitting musical scoring all add up to make a great series.
   
   Plus, videos in the Finley-Holiday series normally have bonus features, such as sidebar attractions in the area.

3 comments about Hazel-A Double Holiday Dose of.

1. A Double Holiday Dose of Hazel is just one more video cassette released from a cllassic television show. Hazel,protrayed by Shirley Booth, is the lovable but sometimes meddlesome housekeeper for the Baxters. In the two episodes contained on this video - Christmas makes for laughs.Just 86 shopping minutes Left Till Christmas is an amusing story of Hazel wanting to purchase a gift for Mrs.Baxter when her husband George decides against giving gifts or anything to do with Christmas.Buying Mrs. Baxter a Christmas gift also plays a role in the second episode. Hazel's Shopping List is also a charming and funny tale of Hazel moonlighting to bu her "Missy" a beautiful vanity set. Although at times even the viewer will become annoyed at Hazel's behavior laughs are always present. However, the real star of this show is the store's shoplifter.If you are looking for a screwball comedy and out-of-this world antics like I Love Lucy, Pease buy this tape.



2. The classic 1960's TV comedy series "Hazel", starring veteran actress Shirley Booth was a popular favourite through most of the early part of that decade and gained immortality for Shirley Booth as the lovable and take charge maid of the Baxter household, Hazel Burke. Based on the very popular cartoon character that appeared regularly in the Saturday Evening Post, it was a perfect marriage of actress and character.

   "A Double Holiday Dose of Hazel", includes the two much loved Christmas episodes from the series, the first "Just 86 Shopping Minutes left till Christmas", is in colour and the second from earlier in the series "Hazel's Christmas Shopping",is in black and white. Both are very endearing stories appropriate for the festive season and really display the great character that Shirley Booth became famous for in the later part of her accomplished career. The first episode has a strangely modern theme to it in that Hazel's employer George Baxter (Don DeFore), has grown tired of all the commercialism of Christmas and decides that this year he will not allow the family to give gifts they can't afford to each other. Hazel being who she is can't help but step in to try and rectify the situation and not let her beloved "Missy" ..Dorothy Baxter go without a Christmas present. Hazel saves the day for the family and George sees the error of not celebrating Christmas in the traditonal way and ends up with a last minute beautiful gift for Dorothy. The second episode finds Hazel in a different dilemma where she finds she is short of money to buy Dorothy a beautiful dressing table set for Christmas. Hazel takes a part time job at the department store to get the extra money she needs and in the process manages to take over the whole shop floor much to the frustration of the store floor walker. In between selling gloves and dispensing wisdom over the counter Hazel manages to catch a compulsive shoplifter who in the Christmas rush is stealing everything from skis to televisions from the store. All ends happily with Hazel getting the present for Dorothy she so badly wanted.

   Both these episodes are totally charming and make heartwarming viewing during the festive season. They are really brought alive by the great acting of Shirley Booth in the central role of Hazel. She made this lively maid a unique television character and ended up winning two Emmy Awards for the role. A veteran dramatic actress on Broadway and in her Oscar winning film of "Come Back Little Sheba", with Burt Lancaster, Booth was warned not to take the role on a television sitcom by her New York acting friends who considered it a real come down for such an acclaimed actress. Happily Shirley Booth thought otherwise and saw the great potential of this colourful character. Ignoring that advise she went on to even greater stardom with a wider audience than she had ever had before.

   I strongly recommend "A Double Dose of Hazel", to all lovers of 1960's sitcoms and for any people who like myself love Christmas themed episodes of popular programs from the Golden years of television in the 1950's and 60's. It's a pity more episodes of Hazel apart from these two Christmas episodes, aren't available on video. However these two are a wonderful way to spend 45 minutes and they allow you the unique opportunity of becoming acquainted with America's most famous maid the immortal Hazel Burke.




3. This great two-story video celebrates humanity and humor in the heartwarming and embraceable persona of Hazel, the loveable and irrepressable housekeeper. One episode in black and white celebrates Missy's great affection for her housekeeper. And one episode in color demonstrates the metamorphisis of a dissatisfied husband/boss into a happy fellow ready to celebrate with the family. Great for the season, but great to watch anytime you're feeling blue or short on humanity.

1. I really only wanted the Year without a Santa Claus, but found that all three movies were amazing. I had forgotten about Rudolph's shiny new year, having loved it as a child, and was thrilled to realize what it was. My kids love all three, and watched them over and over and over...



2. Glad to find this on DVD and at such a great price! A family tradition for me and my son! Certainly recommend!



3. I was looking for this movie for a while and am glad to share it with my family and friends for years to come. It happens to be my daughter's favorite and she thinks the original christmas shows are the best.



4. Christmas gift for a friend's sister... she loves the old school cartoon... brings back memories!



5. My review is not about the content of the programs on this DVD (Although I like them all very much). This review is about the DVD quality. I bought this DVD knowing full well it wasn't remastered, however, based on other customers' reviews, I was under the impression that the picture quality was very good. However, I was disappointed. The only improvement in this edition is that the color is more vibrant, other than that, it's not that much better than what you see on TV. So I suggest that if you want really great picture quality, you should get the remastered edition.

1. I was very dissapointed in the episodes chosen for this production. Old black and white episodes with poor quality. I have seen better and free episodes on TV Land. Save your money.
