The Donna Reed Show S8E01,Pop goes Theresa
Переглядів 18 тис.3 роки тому
It is missing the first half of the episode, where Donna and Alex have scheduled a date night, but Jeff has a basketball game, so there is no one to watch Tricia. They find a sitter through a secondary connection named Theresa (or Terry). When she arrives, Jeff is smitten, but her father is over-protective. Jeff tries to meet her afterward, but his plans are usually thwarted by the overbearing ...
Joy of Learning 'Til Death

Hilarious opening scene where Joy learns the proper way to pronounce wheelbarrow.
It's a shame that Carl Betz, a very talented Actor died too early in Life ! He and Donna Reed were paired beautifully on the show....
Her brother was right to intercede.
Compare the disrespectful brats on shows like roseanne and married with children, this is what current young people think are funny.The fathers are portrayed as idiots and the grandparents as old irrelevant people.This sadly mirrors today!! Families are not the center of kids lives their friends and cell phones are!!
Paul and his sister were so cute! Why is she sitting on a highchair? What were they going to do with her if everyone but her was going to the party?
As of now, in the age of Trump, this episode really hits home. Since the republicans have gone back to the stone ages and are doing everything to make women less than human. Like a thing to be dominated; and put in their place. But time has passed them by; and their desire to rule over everything as though it were an animal kingdom has lost traction. And will go the way of extinction; never to be seen again.
I watched this show when I was a kid, but it seems different now. Too much talking, and too fast-paced. Makes me feel a little sad that I don't like it as much.
Nik at Night was Awesome Great Promos and clever ads Some Classic Shows😎
This is the intro for Season 8, not 6.
So sorry Sam you had parents that had trouble with parating.
Thank you. Donna Reed and Doris Day were my favorite mothers on television back in the days tv taught kids to respect their parents,grandparets and teachers
Did people like this EVER exist? Naturally happy people? I doubt it.
Did people REALLY ever live like this?
No not quite but things were a lot simpler less complicated. There was no internet no home computers and most people only had 1 phone and b/w tv and families had one income. There was certainly less and no mass shootings less contention hatred and polarization A weeks worth groceries was about $60 candy bar were 5 or 10 cents. Comic books were 10 cents with more pages to read about your favourite super hero... Rent or mortgage was much cheaper... People had respect for authority the education system and the media. People could leave thier doors unlocked and not worry about someone trying to break in or grab your kid. People were more God oriented and patriotic.
Here after Gilmore Girls
My Mother was a Donna Reed in my life except there were eight children, dinner and dessert on the table every night, spotless house, crisp clean clothes everyday and parties all the time. I watched the Donna Reed show every week because I am almost Shelley’s age. Those were the days. ❤
That's the biggest "attic" I've ever seen!
Donna Reed was a total babe.
Mr.Baseball. Willie Mays..😊😅
One of greatest shows of all times...😊😮
They cut many scenes
Love watching the old shows.
Mays was lying about Candlestick, winds and cold robbed him of many homers - a dump. Very bad mix of game footage clips. Day game clips for night tilt in the story. Candlestick footage shot during '64 & '65 season, although parts may have come from movie "Experiment In Terror" from 1962. At least the folks in the 'bleachers' were dressed for a cold night there. Willie had a habit of crossing 1st base on way to the dugout. Drysdale had a habit of knocking Mays down, off the plate. Uniformed players/coaches were entitled to 2 'comp' tickets for all games, many times they would 'borrow' unused tix from the players who weren't using theirs, then reciprocate for other games. Clip of guard overlooking Candlestick was shot in a 'crow's nest' behind the right field stands that was removed during the expansion for 49'ers 1970-71. @ 17:31 Mays is approaching the plate from on-deck circle. Clip of Mays running @ 17:36 was from his days in NY at Polo Grounds.
This was the November 7rh 1963 episode
I love literally love Donna. I have the great privilege of being Nextdoor neighbors with her daughter!!!💕💕
I discovered this series on "Nick at Nite" back in the 1980's. One of my favorites.
Yes.. except I really don't care for Joey Fisher.. sorry but that's just my opinion
One thing about this show, everything was done on the cheap. Grainy stock footage of Willie Mays at the ballpark to the point of pretending he's running up to greet Donna and Jeff.
This episode was filmed in 1965. Production values for television were lower. That being said, I believe the makers did a very good job with the budget they had. I believe back then 30-minute shows consisted of about 8 minutes of ads and 22 minutes of story. Plus, shows were on a tight schedule and always had to have two episodes done and in the can before the next one was filmed. Video existed but was not widely used. The episode packed a lot of scenes in that 22 minutes and did it well. Nowadays, I believe producers would have actually filmed or videotaped at the ballpark. That would have been cost-prohibitive back then.
@@billk7541 Maybe the makers, (Donna Reeds husband), should have used some of those profits from the two kids record sales to increase the budget for this episode? The reason I say that is because Shelley Fobares, not too long ago, recounted a conversation she had with Tony Owen at the time, he proposed she record, she balked, and several days later presented an ultimatum to her, participate in making studio recordings or "we won't renew your contract". Granted that was in 1961, but still, four years later he could have used some of his own money if he truly cared about quality of the show. Plus the fact, I'm pretty sure, the Willie Mays episode was the highest rated for that season. So Owen would have made his money back, and much more.
@@Orange-Jumpsuit-Time I think they cared about the quality of the show, but they have to do it within budget. I have read that during the time the show was in production, Donna was quoted in the media at the time unabashedly that she was doing TV for the money. Of course, she wanted to put out a quality product. But there are always constraints. Why wouldn't she want to do it for money? She worked in the movie studio system for years where she was underpaid, especially when her male co-stars were being paid a lot more much of the time . Having her own TV show gave her control over her own pocket book. Do you think viewership would have increased significantly if scenes were actually filmed at the ballpark? Maybe so, but would it have been worth the extra investment? I am not sure how revenue worked for episodic TV back then. Also, the producers may not have been able to secure rights to film an actual game due to contractual rights of others. Even getting baseball actors to play a fake game with Willie at bat or on the field would have cost a fortune probably. One has to rent the stadium, pay the "fake" players, get fans in the stadium, insure against injury, especially Willy, etc. And another thing: I am not sure Donna Reed and her husband owned the show for seasons 6 to 8. I have read her children own the first 5 seasons, and Sony owns the rest. So maybe, if Donna's husband wanted to film at the ballpark, ABC or whoever had final say nixed the idea.
She should have reversed her stage name to Moore Candy.
This was a great episode. RIP WILLIE MAYS. You were such a powerful ball player. You will always be in my heart ❤. You will always be in my prayers. God has his angel 😇 back. You are in heaven playing baseball ⚾ with Willie McCovey and Orlando Cepeda.
This is a completely different show from how it started out in 1958. The writing is so bad and you can tell that Dona Reed was over the whole thing.
@Otis_Art Bad is too kind The writing in this ep makes 'Skibidi Toilet' look like Emmy award-winning material 💯
Im chuckling at the comments below that bemuse the loss of this TV fantasy family. Lets call it was it was, misogyny wrapped up in a piecrust. And Mary Stone was about the most selfish “teenage” girl ever.
I love this show thank you so much 😊
Why has no one showed the last three seasons ? They always only show up until the season where Tricia joins the Stone family.
Blame Sony (who bought Columbia Pictures/Television and all shows' rights reverted to yet another Evil Greedy Corporation). MPI remastered and released Seasons 1-5 on DVD.
I have Premium so why am I seeibg commmercials before this?
RIP Willie Mays 😢😢 This episode is a classic.
RIP Willie Mays in June 2024. This episode was amazing!!
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
♥️💕😍💘😃
😃😃😃😃😃😃
so true .. my bothers & sister did the same ..then when my lids grew up they too did the same . Wish the show used adopt needy children , Please if you want to Have & raise & and love children ..please adopt them from the 10`s of thousands poor children with no families ..Thousand children die each day from over population . So use birth control and adopt...70 % of planets species of plants and animals are gone from crowding out of humans
Watching this in 2024 and hard to believe a show airing 60+ years ago (a decade before I was even born) is actually relatable....Having young adult daughters (now 24, 21 yrs old) who've left the nest to college far away, who returned only to spend all their time at home with friends and leave us, the parents and youngest sibling, waiting to see if we'll even get time with them during their visit....I guess some themes are timeless and that's what makes this show a classic
This whole episode is very radical for the times. Willie Mays shaking hands with two White women (Petula Clarke caused a big controversey when she put her hand on Harry Belafonte's arm on a TV special); Willie Mays pulling up a chair and sitting at the table; the Stone family talking with him as if he is an old family friend, not just a celebrity. These were deliberate choices on someone's part. In fact, Willie Mays was on the show 3 times. In 1950s-1960s...very radical.
This was one of the BEST ! The episode when JEFF becomes an adult and "Older Brother." AN EIGHT YEAR RUN. It's always the sad truth about a series like this. When the kids grow up, the show usually loses its audience.
I do believe this is the dumbest episode ever. 😊
Donna was one of the most beautiful actresses of all time. Perfect looking, womanly and lovely. Miss this era is easy calm television from a now bygone era. Just look at the crap now in 2024.
Yep. If any actress had perfect symmetry in her face, it was her. Nobody really does, but Donna comes closest. She was a very stunning woman.
@@ValleyoftheRogue I'd say Audrey Hepburn, Dorothy Dandridge, Greta Garbo, Grace Kelly, Jeannie Crain, Jean Seberg, Hedy Lamaar, Halle Berry all had/have perfect symmetry in the fame, and there was much more than those stunners. Donna Reed had that face too. For me when it comes to beauty, beauty can reach 100% perfection and the Golden Age of Hollywood was built off it by their most treasured Goddesses.
ditto !!
Colorization was 1964. We’re the last two years in color? I loved this show as a pre teen
No - the entire series was filmed in black and white. If the show had been renewed, it would have been in color as mandated by ABC.
Willie Mays is my cousin in real life. He's my great grandmother Janie Ruth Mays' cousin.
A super human & athlete
How cool is that? I remember him playing at the tail end of his career. But what a career he had and given his stats offense and defense imo Willie Mays was the greatest all round baseball player ever. Sadly he just passed away. RIP Mr. Mays.
Wow. Willie was one of the greats. He performed well in this episode.
I am 50, going on 51 (as of 2024). Back in the 80s/90s when I watched many reruns from the 50s/60s, I used to think that all shows went to color by 1965. This confirms that I was absolutely wrong! Not that I've never seen reruns of the Donna Reed show; just I've never seen any of the last 2 seasons.
Following Shelley fabares. Departure 3:14 3:18

Good times❤
