The Complete First Season 1959 1960, All 32 Original Episodes


The comic misadventures of television’s most well-meaning but misguided boy are back! The lovable Dennis Mitchell (Jay North) left a trail of chaos throughout his suburban neighborhood. Yet along with his friends and classmates Tommy (Billy Booth) and Margaret (Jeannie Russell), Dennis managed to pry his way into the hearts of millions from week to week. Based on the long-running comic strip by Hank Ketcham, this beloved CBS television series (1959 1963) stayed true to form, as Dennis’s youthful curiosity always managed to get him into heaps of trouble . . . especially with his crotchety old neighbor Mr. Wilson (Joseph Kearns). Herbert Anderson and Gloria Henry starred as Dennis’s parents who were always on hand with love and guidance but not necessarily the required supervision.

Here for the first time on DVD are all 32 uncut episodes from the first season of Dennis The Menace!

5.0 out of 5 stars A long overdue series, December 26, 2010

This review is from: Dennis the Menace: Season One (DVD)

I live in the UK and can remember watching this series when I was no older than Dennis was in the series (around 10 or 11). I have purchased dozens of other television shows from the late 1950s and early 1960s and have really enjoyed watching them all again. However Dennis the Menace is the one television series from this era that really does epitomize my childhood and brings back such wonderful memories for me. I never imagined that I would be watching that lovable rascal Dennis on my television screen again. In conclusion I would just like to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to all those people concerned in making this great tv series available to all fans of Dennis the Menace. Just as a postscript: When Dennis the Menace was shown in Britain it was called "Just Dennis."
At the time there was a funny papers character called Dennis the Menace and so the the tv series Dennis the Menace received the alternate title so as not to confuse it with the funny papers character.

5.0 out of 5 stars PLEASE RELEASE THIS SEASON!, March 11, 2009

This review is from: Dennis the Menace: Season One (DVD)

My family loved watching this show. We can't understand why Dennis the Menace, Leave it to Beaver, Jeff's Collie/Lassie & My Three Sons are not relased in full, uncut versions. I enjoy purchasing TV sitcoms for Birthday and Christmas gifts, & would like some of the older, classic shows to choose from. I have been burned by bootleggers so please commercially release these and other old time television shows. The public will buy them. We miss our TV friends and want them to come to DVD so we may watch them whenever we have a few moments off of work and daily presures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Would be a great addition to any DVD collection, December 15, 2008

This review is from: Dennis the Menace: Season One (DVD)

I watched this devotedly when Nickelodeon was re-running the show many years ago. Dennis The Menace is one of those cult classics that belongs in any fan's DVD library. Great escapism of a gentler time period.
