It is missing the first half of the episode, where
Donna and Alex have scheduled a date night, but Jeff has a basketball game, so there is no one to watch Tricia. They find a sitter through a secondary connection named Theresa (or Terry). When she arrives, Jeff is smitten, but her father is over-protective. Jeff tries to meet her afterward, but his plans are usually thwarted by the overbearing father. Then...

I get a kick out of the calendar on the wall when Jeff is calling Mom for the Police station. This was from Brown & Bigelow Co. which was one of the largest adverting calendar makers in the USA, in my Hometown of St. Paul, MN. They fudged a couple of the letters on it, probably to avoid copyright fees !!!

The father at the police station looks like he is related to Me. Stone.

Jimmy Hawkins playing "Scotty" again, one of the guys in the group of kids, got a lot of acting work from the Donna Reed Show aside from other shows, often mo e important speaking parts. He did other TV shows, Elvis Movies etc. He was Little Tommy Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life in 1946 at age 6, with Donna Reed and Jimmy Sterwart as his parents with other "siblings." OIt pays to have connections with the best if you're an actor. donna's husband and herelf were the producers of her show So Jimmy probably had an automatic pass, besides being a good actor, to get on the show when needed.

Hi Matt, I clicked on the playlist for Season 8 but it appears most of the episodes have been removed. If you have more episodes from Season 8 saved, are you able to re-upload them? Thanks.
