That is really cool Charles,,thanks so much for the link. Wow, i havnt even thought of that show in years! Speaking of Airway's on TV, i distinctly remember seeing(in re-runs,probablly about 10-15 yrs ago) an episode of "Dragnet",,taped in the mid to late 1960s where "Sg.Joe Friday" and "Officer Bill Gannon" are investigating a murder. They go to a woman's house and ask to see her vacuum cleaner! (They have discovered There is a missing diamond involved, that may have gotten sucked up in the vacuum bag) This put my vacuum radar up immediatly! haha So,the woman's teenage daughter who answered the door, goes to the hall closet, and pulls out an Airway (not sure of the model# but its blue in color and has the skids on all 4 sides.) She asks if they want the hose and attachments too,,of course they say NO,,all we want is the bag inside the vacuum. So, she opens the lid, and pulls the bag out,,there is a good close up shot of this and the bag is distinctly marked AIRWAY SANITIZOR on the top. And as it turns out,,they find out the woman was involved with the murder,,as they do find the diamond in the vacuum bag. VERY risque' stuff for mid 1960s! I wish i would have had my VCR taping this at the time, as ive never seen this episode again,,and then shortly thereafter, Nick at Nite discontinued showing Dragnet. But i know i DID see it,,and it does exist. |

Might this be the episode Charles? The plot is similar, and here's a link to Guy Williams as the officer who gets killed in the first few minutes of the episode.

Thank you Charles! And you're welcome! I just ran through the plots and titles and looked for anything dealing with police officers, it was just too easy. I ended up watching three episodes, and watched one I thought could be it, but it had more to do with someone fleecing a bookstore owner and stealing her car, which did have to do with the death of the other officer.
