Does anyone remember the week that Mister Rogers had a lot of vacuum cleaners on his program? When I was a kid I was home one summer and remember it.
There was an episode where he comes in with a Dirt Devil Can Vac and vacuums the pull out couch with it. Then Mr McFeely brought in a tape showing How People Make Vacuums and it showed the Royal/Dirt Devil assembly line for the Can Vac. That week in the Neighborhood of Make believe, they were using over the shoulder type vacuums (dark blue, I think maybe Metro Vacs?). Lady Elaine didn't like vacuums so she hoarded them all at the Museum Go Round and there were a bunch of woven hoses with wands nozzles sticking up over the wall. This part I didn't recall seeing, but eventually that week she had a dream where she danced with a Hoover Convertible Model 69 I think (white with dark blue hood but instead of a blue bag it had a plaid bag) and decided she was ok with them and gave them all back. |

I do remember one time during the opening scene in the 70's that Mr. Rodger put away the vacuum cleaner the cleaning lady had left sitting out. That was a Rexair vacuum of the time. |

Google is my friend once again! Episode 1701 is available on Amazon (listed there as season 1996 episode 6). You have to pay to watch it though. |
