Plot Summary

"Mr. B" and Hazel cannot agree on what TV show to watch after the boxing match. After finding out that her set is beyond repair, he agrees to buy Hazel a new TV. Hazel kicks in the extra money to buy a color set and invites all her friends to come over to watch Perry Como's show, disrupting the Baxters' quiet evening and a bridge game they would have with another a couple.

Trivia Although the first season was in black and white, this one episode was filmed in color: Hazel gets a color TV. RCA was NBC's parent company and arranged for all shows to be in color on this date to promote sales of color televisions. Later in 1964, Shirley Booth and Don DeFore appeared in a print ad for RCA Color TV in many magazines. See more »
