It centered around a live-in maid named Hazel Burke (Shirley Booth) and the suburban family for whom she worked: lawyer George Baxter (Don [=DeFore=]), his interior-decorator wife Dorothy (Whitney Blake), and their son Harold (Bobby Buntrock). At the end of the fourth season NBC canceled ''Hazel'', but it made a ChannelHop to CBS, which retooled the premise by replacing George and Dorothy with George's brother Steve (Ray Fulmer), his wife Barbara (Lynn Borden), and their daughter Susie (Julia Benjamin). Harold was kept as well as Hazel of course.

** In Season 5, Hazel is quietly retconned into having been this for the Baxters, as Steve remembers her as a kid. Given that Steve has a kid close to Harold's age, we're probably not supposed to assume he was a kid when Dorothy married George.
