The Autopsy Of Why "Hazel" Series ended happened when the show changed networks, budget was cut leaving Parents George And Dorthy Baxter in Afghanistan for an Eternity.
The feel of the Post Don Defore and Whitney Blake departure left a sterile, lifeless, pessimistic Show. Expectations of brilliance in this episode were low. It been a shame if former viewers passed up watching "Hazel Sits It Out."
Steve Baxter promised a picnic. Yet, nobody is minding the Realtor Agency as nobody is showing a certain house. Hazel saves the day by volunteering to Show the house, not sell it.
Viewers get to meet potential buyers and a nosy neighbor determined to vet good potential neighbor and discourage the awful. This would be a list of interesting actors and actresses, then. But, now..
Viewers get to see Darrin Stephen's mother from "Bewitched" as that rotten neighbor trying to scare off people who she doesn't like in the acting of Mabel Albertson. She hinders Hazel's but it turns around in the end.
Viewers see a strong, independent, single mother in the future, but an optimistic 21-year-old girl played by Bonnie Franklin. It is an "OMG" moment.
Yet, it is a late blooming love story involving the house and two divorcees of each other that make this episode likely one of their best effort -- despite the days are counting down till the lights, cameras, actors and union labor do not show up early in the morning to film.
Without spoiling viewers like this one who just seen this episode for the first time, the love story is worth sticking around until the end of this episode.
It is quite a sweet way to work a home showing and you know it will sell in the end - this is "Hazel" after all. The story is unique, fresh even for modern, sophisticated audience. Watch it.
