I have the first season of Hazel, and noticed in the color episode that the sets in the department store were RCA Victor, and after she had talked Mr. B into paying the difference to get her a color set, he got one too. For the rest of the B&W episodes, they went back to their old non color sets. Hazel's old set was an Emerson, the Baxters console seemed to have been a Zenith. I think their big console stereo was a Zenith.

I noticed the old b/w console on Hazel was a Zenith too! we had a Zenith b/w "portable" (It had a light blue cabinet with a handle on top, but it must have weighed 50 pounds at least). We got this set, I think, in 1961 and it had the "Space Command 300" remote control. We took it with us when we moved to the suburbs in 1963, and purchased a UHF converter box (remember those?) for it in 1966. We had the set for many years, but our first color set was from Sears because my father worked for one of their subsidiaries and got it at a discount.
