  1. Dawn, when Nick at Night(Long before TV Land) got the rights to The Donna Reed Show, they had a "fake advice" segment called "What would Donna Do? It was a trip. I wish they would start running it again.

  3. I grew up watching her be the perfect mom on TV. My whole family enjoyed the reruns on Nick at Nite. Thanks for sharing Dawn. And I think Donna will now be my classic movie goddess for June.
