<blockquote data-quote="ClassyCo" data-source="post: 274305" data-attributes="member: 7">These are good, old-fashioned &quot;cozy&quot; TV shows. None of them are hilarious, but yet enjoyable and at least amusing.

HAZEL has never been a show that I particularly like. My grandfather is a pretty big fan of it, but it&#039;s never been my cup of tea. Shirley Booth isn&#039;t funny, she&#039;s annoying. The episodes are hard to sit through. 

I&#039;ve never seen a lot LEAVE IT TO BEAVER or THE DONNA REED SHOW, but what I have seen, I have enjoyed. I don&#039;t recollect seeing a whole lot of FATHER KNOWS BEST, either, but I wanted to buy the complete series box set once when I saw it at Walmart. 

As I&#039;ve said in other threads, I enjoy MY THREE SONS, especially with Bill Frawley in the cast, as well as OZZIE &amp; HARRIET, if primarily for Rick and Dave. The latter series does have a out-of-sync laugh track, but I like it anyway. 

A lot of the shows could&#039;ve used more subtle, softer laugh tracks. One show that I always liked that could fall into this category was BACHELOR FATHER, the John Forsythe comedy series that aired from 1957 to 1962. It has the distinction of being the only TV show in the history of the medium to air consecutive seasons on all three major networks: ABC, CBS, and NBC. It aired on CBS from 1957 to 1959, then on NBC from 1959 to 1961, and finally on ABC from 1961 to 1962. 

I remember watching BACHELOR FATHER on Antenna TV when I was getting ready for school. I thought it was at least mildly amusing, baring in mind I watched this show when I was big into DYNASTY.
