Your information is all wrong for the air dates for the Donna Reed Show !! When I checked for myself, I found episodes from the 1st season that you listed as being from the 3rd ?? I believe you should recheck your data !! I believe if you know Roman Numerals the way I do, you'll see on-screen, during the opening credits, the year the episode was produced !! I don't believe they would have waited 2 years to air an episode !! The show airs weekly mornings on a station known as MeTV in my area. I've checked every time at the bottom of the screen during the opening credits. You can clearly see the copyright date there !! I don't know how you can MISS it !! Check it, and you'll see I'm right !!
