Did this scene really happen? - Donna Reed Show

[Jenna L.]

Not sure if this actually happened or not, but I read an old post on here where someone claimed Donna Reed got tickled on The Donna Reed Show. Can anybody verify this scene and maybe even possibly describe the episode it happened in?

Donna Reed from the "Donna Reed Show" got tickled by a neighbor kid who made a wake up alarm clock that tickled feet with a brush to wake someone up.

Sounds like a fake scene to me, especially since there's no other mention of it, but it would be cool if it was real. Hopefully, it is.

I sincerely doubt it. There was another alleged tickling scene in the show where Donna's neighbor was babysitting two bratty boys who were supposed to have hogtied her with dish towels and tickled her stockinged feet. In the early 90's, Nick At Nite was airing The Donna Reed show at about 1:00 am in my time zone. I set a timer and recorded the show, fast forwarding through the next day, looking for that mythological episode (Although, after having since learned that Donna's neighbor was portrayed by character actress Kathleen Freeman, I don't think I'd want to see her tickled). I never saw either scene.

Too bad. Maybe there's some short tickle scene out there, though, since there are so many reports of tickling from the show. Probably not as good as what people make them out to be, though. A local TV station in my neighborhood started airing episodes of the show a couple times a week, and since I enjoy the show anyways, I've been watching it. I'll report back if I ever find anything noteworthy. So far there's nothing tickling related, but there've been three stocking feet scenes for people who like that sort of thing.

I might can help, seeing as how I have a memory for stuff like this.

The scene in question was Donna Reed visiting a inventor because, if memory serves correctly, he's son was friends with her son, and he told her about a invention he had where a person would strap a device to their foot and the brush would quickly brush back and forth waking the person up, but he didnt sell one of them.

Hope this helps.

That's the actual show.

Edit: It's the actual video...the entire show. Just wanted to make that clear.

He describes the invention to Donna Reed (about 14:56 or so), but no actual tickling or even a reaction from her.

I just sort of skimmed through it.
