Hazel: My Son, the Sheepdog (1966)
Season 5, Episode 21
Worst episode of the worst season...
12 July 2011
There's no doubt that the last season of Hazel was a very pale imitation of seasons 1 through 5 with the original cast. The loss of Don Defore and Whitney Blake just was too much to overcome, even with Shirley Booth's great character still on board. The writing also suffered this final season.

Of all of the mediocre shows from this season, this one episode stands out as worse than mediocre. It's silly at best and ridiculous in the whole. The bashing in TV sit-coms of modern teen and pre-teen dress, music choices and behavior, seemingly funny when done, always fails to stand the test of time. Plus it's really an overworn suit. All I have to say to the ones responsible for this episode making such a big deal out of the kid Harold's 1965 Beatle hairstyle is: Just wait until 1968 if you want to see Harold really break out of conventional expectations. Then you'll wish it was only the hair that was your complaint.
