Donna
Reed in "The Donna Reed Show" exemplifies America as
it wished to be seen. It's like the anti-Noir showing of the "dream."
Donna
Reed, aka Donna Stone, first aired in 1958. The show ran for eight
years, earned four Emmy Award nominations and provided a Golden
Globe to Ms. Reed as Best Female Star.
By
the time the show ended there were 274 episodes in all. This set,
just in time for the 2009 holiday gift giving, you will find the
show's third season in tact. Thirty-eight full episodes, plus
bonus features.
For
season three, we join the Stones as Mary is trying to learn how
to drive...yikes! The times they are a changin' too. Donna wants
to start her own business (goodness what a liberated wench!).
Donna also meddles in on foreign policy (as close as she'll ever
get) by helping a young Japanese Geisha acquaintance to be more
firm-handed when dealing with the American-bred husband.
The
set is uber delish for fans of the show. And folks into TV's sensation,
"Mad Men," will love the set production and some-what
hokey situations of this version of American suburbia.
Life's
uncomfortable solutions all seemed to be able to bubble to a frown-inducing
froth in 27 minutes, and laid to rest within the twenty-eighth.
For America's gals like Mrs. Stone, the day's toughest dilemma
wove around which Jell-O brand mold to choose for the week's card
night.
And,
this third-season set is extra special for the die-hard fans:
They have a few wonderful bonus features along side the 38 episodes.
You get a 2008 Q&A with Mary Owen who played Donna Reed's
daughter and Paul Peterson (Jeff Stone), belts out his memorable
tune, " My Dad," in front of a live audience.
Another
bonus is a heart-warming note to Donna Reed from a WWII soldier!
And a never-before-seen Christmas greeting from the cast after
the "Someone is Watching," episode.
The
38 full episodes include many famous faces too. You'll see Harvey
Korman, Jack Albertson, Jay North and more.
