Donna Reed intro

[@lastochkas]

Yes, one of the best all time shows, truly...

[@hoosierlooker]

Yes he was!! Very good memory!

[@VFXTELESYNC]

I like the Season 2 Theme, THAT'S so epic

[@lastochkas]

I hear the first season is coming out on DVD in October and they will have a rollout of the first five seasons over a couple of years. Includes the very rare season 4 - which never aired post-original broadcast in the 1960's. Wow.

[@gottogosome]

It's official!! Donna Reed Show DVD season 1 to be released Oct 28, 2008

[@tolstoyman2]

Season 4 Also? Rare indeed. Never saw it on Nick at Night... Hope they have a bunch of added on stuff...I have heard nothing in the press on this...I will definately be interested since it is one of the classic shows of my youth!

[@Tomes23]

Why have I never watched this show?!

[@Brdj010]

@wallofvideo No, The Cleavers lived in two different houses during the run of that series. The Cleavers' first house did have a similar layout as the Stones had, with the kitchen, living room, stairs and front door in the same part of the house, but it had a different style. The Cleavers' second house had the front door, stairs, and living room on an entirely opposite end of the house from where their first house and the Stones had them, facing a whole other direction.

Carl Betz was a hottie!! Wasn't he in Judd for the defense?

[@Jantv81]

"Happy Days" by John Loose and William Seeley. Incidently the them from "Happy Days" was not called Donna Reed.

[@mun63]

Did you realize that the opening of the Munsters was a parody of the Donna Reed Show?

[@Juliaflo]

In my opinion, The Munsters was sort of a 'hybrid', a parody of The Donna Reed Show, plus that of Leave it to Beaver, the latter under the aegis of the Leave it to Beaver people.

[@gymnastix]

This is a variation on the opening title sequence with the original cast, this one with a more modern font. And there was yet a third, opening sequence with Donna sporting a more modern, 1960's hairstyle & fashions, and with new cast member Patty Petersen, most notable for Donna too leaves the house in that one. How come this ends abruptly, before its actual completion?

@amdreamgirl23 Carl Betz passed away in 1981, a victim of lung cancer. Donna Reed passed away five years later, a victim of pancreatic cancer.

Bill Loose and John Seely compoosed the theme, flor the famed John Seely library [originally TC-430-A, on Capitol L-39/40-LIGHT;other composers were Ed Lund, Phil Green, Bob McBride, George CHase, Ib Glindemann, Jack Shaindlin, Rick DuPage, Jack Cookerly, Roger Roger, Henry Russell, Louie De Francesco, Raoul Kruasshaar, Emil Cadkin, Harry Bluestone, Stu Phillipps, Irving Friedman, for some examples.Oh, Donna Reed and Shelley Fabares were hot.

[@wallofvideo]

@Brdj010 yes, i see the difference now.

[@nickellodeon55]

Actually it was Carl's bookie, because Carl Betz.

[@wallofvideo]

is it my imagination or do they live in the same house as the cleavers?

[@amdreamgirl23]

Are they still alive?
