7	->'''Played by:''' Shirley Booth
8
9	->''"Ain't that a doozie!"''
10
11	Hazel is the no nonsense maid of the Baxter family. Originally employed by Dorothy's family she went to work for the Baxters after Dorothy married George. Despite the fact that she is a salaried employee she is considered a member of the family.
12	----
13	* CoolOldLady
14	* FriendshipMoment: Between George and Hazel. Despite their squabbling, they clearly care about each other and consider each other family.
15	* KindlyHouseKeeper: Hazel can be this at times.
16	* MamaBear: If someone ever tries to hurt Missy, Harold, or George, they will surely get put in their place by Hazel.
17	* TheNickNamer: At least for the Baxter family, George is "Mr. B", Dorothy is "Missy" and Harold is "Sport".
18	* OldRetainer: Hazel was the maid for Dorothy's family and helped raise Dorothy, whom she calls "Missy".
19	* YouRemindMeOfX: Part of the reason why Hazel's the one and only person Harvey Griffin will acquiesce to is because she reminds him of his equally strong-willed mother. He even tells her as much, to her discomfort.

27	* BigEater
28	* HappilyMarried: While George and Dorothy have the occasional disagreement, for the most part they are content and happy with each other.
29	* PapaWolf: It's clear that George is protective of his son as well as his wife and even Hazel.
30	* PutOnABus: Both Dorothy and George go to the Middle East because of George's job, as part of the {{Retool}} in the fifth season. Harold is left behind with George's younger brother Steve so they won't have to pull him out of school.
31	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: George, while sometimes frazzled by Hazel, does not treat her or his family unfairly.

52	!!Stephen "Steve" Baxter
53	->'''Played by:''' Ray Fulmer
54
55	----
56	* HappilyMarried: Much like George and Dorothy.
57	* RememberTheNewGuy: When George and Dorothy were written out, George's younger brother Steve was introduced, despite the fact there was never any mention of him prior to the fifth season.
58	* SiblingRivalry: Played with a bit. In the episode which introduces Steve, he feels he can control Hazel much better than George. Also, when there is a contest in which the domestic help in the neighborhood has to tell why they feel their boss is the best boss, when Hazel mentions perhaps she should nominate Mr. B. and Missy (who are in Saudi Arabia), Steve has a fairly strong reaction.

73
74	Steve and Barbara's daughter

76	* CousinOliver: Harold's first cousin, introduced along with her parents Steve and Barbara, who are Harold's aunt and uncle. She might have been based on the Baxters' daughter, Katie, from the comics.

78	* RememberTheNewGuy: For the same reason as her parents.

81	!Supporting Characters
82	[[folder: Deirdre Thompson]]
83	!!Deirdre Thompson
84	->'''Played by:''' Cathy Lewis
85
86	George and Steve's snobby sister. She frequently has clashes with Hazel and occasionally with her brother George.
87	----
88	* AesopAmnesia: It seems that every time Deirdre appears to learn a lesson about not being so elite in her treatment of people, she's back to her old ways in the next episode.
89	* RichBitch: Which is much of the reason for Hazel and Deirdre's clashes.

97	* DontCallMeSir: When he's in a good mood, George will address him as Mr. Griffin, and Mr. Griffin's usual reply is "Call me Harvey" or "Call me Harv."
98	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his gruff, almost confrontational exterior, he clearly is fond of Hazel and even the Baxter family.
99	* RunningGag: He frequently remarks that Hazel reminds him of his mother.
100	* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Largely due to Hazel's delicious cooking, Mr. Griffin frequently drops by at supper time and even, at times, spends the night.

109	* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: Their complete ignorance of how to handle even the most basic aspects of life is.... unbelievable.
