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. ❤
@@dabearcub Perhaps, but at least this type of show gave us a little hope, or at least took us away from the reality for a few hours each week. Plus, it offered actual family time together, which is a rarity these days.
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.
@@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.
We sorely need these last three seasons on physical media, that is DVD or Blu-ray or both. I don’t know why they won’t let this stuff out of the vault. Please, please bring it to us.
Thank you so much for posting this. I’ve been trying to find episodes after season 5. I was hoping they would put 6-8 on DVD, but it doesn’t look like that’s happening.
I have been waiting so many years to see this rarely shown episode from Season 6. I loved watching it. Do you have any more episodes from Season 6 and any others where Shelley Fabares guest stars also from Season 7? I don't know how you were able to find this episode but Thank You So Very Much for posting it. Sincerely, Jay
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
Surprisingly, The Cosby Show did an episode like this with a similar premise. Denise Huxtable comes back home for the weekend from Hillman and has little to no time to spend with her family.
@@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854 The Ozzie and Harriet show was a real-life family, The Nelsons. Ricky Nelson was one of the sons. He was a singer and guitar player starting in the 50s until his death in 1985. It's still on TV Mon-fri, in California at 9:30am.
Really wonderful to see a season six episode of this series. For some unknown reason the estate of Donna Reed has withheld all but two of season six, all of season seven and a couple of season eight episodes from the public. All episodes from seasons 6, 7 and 8 have been withheld from DVD release. Wish I knew why, because it's such a great show. It's also a fact that the series achieved its highest ratings during season six. Thank you so much for posting this!
Donna Reed’s estate only controls seasons 1-5. Her original contract, covering the first five seasons of the show, stated that control of those episodes would revert to her after a certain number of years. When she renewed her contract for seasons 6-8, that provision was no longer in the contract, so seasons 6-8 are controlled by Sony, the successor to Screen Gems. It’s a pretty unusual situation. But if you check out the copyright notice under the show’s title, the first five seasons are copyrighted by “Todon of California” (Reed’s production company with her husband tony Owens), and the remaining seasons are copyrighted by Screen Gems. When Columbia (Screen Gems) still controlled the entire series, they syndicated seasons 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8. I heard that when they cut down the syndication package to an acceptable number of episodes for local stations, they removed the Bob Crane episodes because they just didn’t like him. But I don’t know how much stock you can put into that. After Reed’s estate regained control, they leased seasons 1-5 to MeTV and then to Decades (Decades currently also leases season 8 from Sony). I assume these days, if they aired seasons 6-7, they’d owe residuals to the actors since those episodes have rarely been rerun, and Sony just doesn’t want to bother with it.
@@jaredjlinden Thank you so much for that information. I guess the only way Screen Gems might bother releasing those seasons would be if there were enough public demand for it. I wish there were, as I love the cast and the show and have never seen those episodes. Still, I'm hoping that one day it happens. 🤞
@Eleanor Florist That certainly is an interesting theory, but Bob Crane also appeared in season 5 of Donna's show, so why allow those to be released? Also, Hogan's Heroes is a huge success in syndication to this day, which I think may be counter to your theory. If you look in the comments, someone explained that Reed's family only owned the first five seasons. When it came time to renegotiate the contracts after deciding to continue for a sixth season and beyond, that ownership clause wasn't put in for some reason. Apparently, Sony/Screen Gems retains the rights to the last three seasons and they don't seem to be in any hurry to release these later seasons, if at all. I'm guessing perhaps they would if there was a demand for them. I know I'd love to see them.
I'm watching on streaming now and see that only seasons 1-5 are available. The series aired on Nick at Nite from 1985-94. Did Nick air all 8 seasons back in the day and if so I wonder if anyone recorded seasons 6-8? Would love to see the entire series
Thanks for a few episodes of Season 6. This was one of the Donna Reed show's most popular seasons. I watched it frequently that year. I might be in a minority here,but Trisha was my favorite. She was an 8-9 year old girl on TV and I was an 8-9 year old boy admitting girls were...nice. She was real cute and nice and smart-and my first TV Crush.(-:
I used to be in touch with Paul Peterson before my account was hacked & now I don't know how to get in contact again unfortunately.He used to talk about The Donna Reed show quite lot but I had never seen the prog until it popped up here today.So now I have seen an episode at last.I think Paul had a look of Elvis.Was Trisha related to Paul?I first saw him in Journey To Shiloh on the computer years ago.Along with six other guys who went on to make names for themselves.To my mind the only film that was better than the book.I miss chatting to Paul,he even remembered my birthday.Which was the day my fav star passed a couple of years ago.I hope Paul is still doing good & enjoying his well deserved retirement.Only four left now of the seven from Shiloh.Great actors,great films.
@@susanmccormick6022 Paul Petersen's younger sister Patty always wanted to be on TV with her brother. On her first visit to the set(an eighth-birthday present)she asked the producer for a role.

I LOVE the Donna Reed Show. It is hands down my favorite of the classic family shows because it was different. Donna and Alex were not as conservative minded when it came to parenting their children, yet they were awesome parents. They weren’t overly strict, yet weren’t too permissive either. I like that Donna had a career prior to marrying Alex and chose to be a stay-at-home mom when they married. But Alex wasn’t the type to actually force her hand either. You get the feeling that he would not have cared if she worked. I remember in the later years, Donna spent more time outside of the home since the kids were older anyway. The show seemed to have a good balance of stories between the characters also.
I love "Leave It to Beaver" and "Father Knows Best," but "The Donna Reed Show" was for me the best as well. The Stones seemed like a real family, and they were all so good in their roles. It's my comfort go-to show. I would love to see more episodes from seasons 6, 7 and 8, but seasons 1-5 were the best in my opinion anyway because Mary was more of a regular.
I used to watch The Donna Reed Show in 1990s reruns on Nik-at-Nite. It was an OK sitcom from its era. One or two of the early episodes had Harvey Korman as the family's doctor, years before he became a regular on The Danny Kaye Show. Of course Shelley Fabares was the main draw, and this was worth a second viewing just to see her come back as a guest star. Too bad Paul Peterson's little sister Patty became a regular. But I guess they figured since Jeff was in high school by this time, the producers felt a need to add another little kid.
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!!
I remember watching these back on classic Nick at Nite. The old school shows were so...comfy. I wasnt crazy about these later seasons where the kids are older and Patty "adopts" the Stones tho.
I found this show on Nick at Nite in '87 I think, I was 13 and it was an escape from an unhappy home life. I fantasized about having a family like this and Donna Reed being my mom.
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
The one who should really be upset is poor Trisha. Mary wanted nothing to do with her and she made this obvious.

It’s their daughter not a friend or extended family member. I understand freshening up her bed and getting her part of the room ready but all the other hullabaloo? It’s unnecessary
Their daughter whom they greatly missed. Families back then actually acted like families. A friend of mine cries when her daughter goes back to college..

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.
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.

Thank you for posting appreciate very kind of you!
Thank you for posting. I love this show!!!
One of greatest shows of all times...😊😮
That's the biggest "attic" I've ever seen!
I like the theme music and the music playing before each scene.
Her brother was right to intercede.
We all made this mistake first time home
This is the intro for Season 8, not 6.
I just can't relate to them anymore.
Here after Gilmore Girls
Did Donna Reed wear a wig for this show ? It seems her hair is different as what it looked like in her old movies
She colored her hair early in her career, then dyed it back.
Hairspray. Lots of it.

You think the Queen 👑 was coming for a visit.
Some families TREAT each other like they ARE special.
Mary kind of was tho...
They talk so fast. To much dialogue crammed in. More Donna Reed in a bikini.
That is all!
Donna Reed was too old to be in a bikini. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Shelley Fabares' character talked fast. The rest were talked at normal pace.
Great show awesome cast !!!!
