Does anyone know if "Hazel" is going to be offered in b&w and colorized versions like "Bewitched" was?

As for the quality of "Dennis the Menace" -- like all Screen Gems shows of the era, it was a very well-done show. However, they did tone Dennis down after the first season. He became much less of a menace and more a do-gooder who caused trouble by trying to help people and making things worse. I suspect they got some complaints from parents who thought they might have been making a hero out of a bratty kid. Dennis the Do-Gooder was a little nauseating.

I like Gale Gordon as much as the next guy, but whether he's Mr. Conklin, Mr. Wilson or Mr. Mooney, he's always exactly the same.
