I just spoted what looks like a Hoover 150 on the Brady Bunch. It was in a lady's garage. The episode is where the dog gets lost. It seemed pretty early as the kids seemed pretty young. Nicholas | ||

Here's Some More--
Who could forget the Lux XXX on My Three Sons? Seldom did you see anyone running it. Usually they were putting it away, carrying it downstairs, or something. There was also a Lux XXX on an episode of The Wonder Years. Father Knows Best--an Airway, if I remember right Leave It To Beaver--G.E. Swiveltop Love That Bob--Big Wheel Lewyt Petticoat Junction--Kirbys in at least 2 episodes And does anyone else remember the episode of the Little Rascals where they were using a Lux XII as a milking machine? It no doubt would have had to be specially made for that one. Or how about the episode of Man From U.N.C.L.E. where Thrush was smuggling missiles or something in the bags of upright vacuums and a sweeper shop was the "front" for their operations? And I think I remember one episode of The Fugitive where someone he is visiting (his sister, maybe?) is running a Hoover 28. This is fun! How 'bout some more? Jeff | ||

Family Matters Who can forget the episode where Carl tries to fix the Powerdrive turquoise and white U6039 Hoover DAM? I also recall seeing a Hoover spirit in the utility room off the kitchen. | ||

"Batchelor Father" has Peter the houseboy vacuuming with a loaded GE Cord-Reel, the noise the vacuuming action makes sounds like a tune to him, and goes "da da da da-dee da da". I remember the tune, I looked for the chance of a YouTube clip, no dice. His tune ended up being sold to a Twilight Zone kind of show for an opening theme. His looks like June Cleaver's GE. Here's a pic again of a badly colorized Roll-Easy on "I Dream Of Jeannie".

There is an episode of "Alice" with Linda Lavin, from the late 1970s, where "Flo" comes to say with Alice as her trailor had been stolen! Turns out "Flo" is a slob and impossible to live with and stays up all night , so the next morning Alice tries cleaning up her apartment using a Compact Vacuum. We dont see the machine, but we do see the hose, wands, and unmistakable floor tool,,the hose handle grip is also unmistakable Compact. The noise of the vac(which really IS the actual Compact vac) dosent work in waking up Flo, who is asleep on the couch,,so Alice throws down the vacuum wand, and leaves the apartment with the vacuum running. haha There is an episode of Leave it to Beaver where June is using a Compact to clean the furniture,,again, unmistakable handle grip gives it away, altho we dont actually see the machine,,just the hose. Wally comes in from school right then, so, the vac hose in only in the shot for a few seconds. Of course she is wearing pearls and high heels! I always wished we could see what kind of vacuum Mary used to clean her little apartment on the MTM Show,,,i always invisioned a 70s Hoover Convertable 1020, or a Hoover Junior. On All in the Family,whenever a vacuum was in use, they rarely had the actual vacuum turned on,,and used special effects sounds for a vacuum running,,,i wonder why? There is an episode of "Archie" vacuuming the dining room floor with a blue Hoover upright, and the bag is not inflated at all,,,but you hear a vacuum sound = cheesy! There is an epiose of AITF where Archie is trying to cook himself something in the kitchen (he and Edith had a fight) and he makes a horrible mess, and goes to the broom closet to get the broom,,,,there is a green Kenmore Cannister tucked back in the closet, and the hose and wands, plus all the other normal broom closet stuff comes flying out, like Fibber McGee's closet. There is an episode of "Here's Lucy" from the early 1970s, where Lucy goes schlepping a Hoover Portable all over the neighborhood, with the cover open, and hose, cord and attachments all falling and hanging out,,,of course she ends up selling one to "Mr Mooney" and sucks up his necktie in the vacuum,,,while he is still wearing it! | ||

HAHA, WOW, that is so cool! I remember an episode of "The Partrige Family" where Shirley Jones (the Mom) is vacuuming the entryway of their house (LONG yellow or gold shag carpet) with a very early Oreck. There is also an episode of "The Golden Girls", where "Rose" (Betty White) is trying out a pair of "Vacuum Slacks" with a Special Model Silverado Lux, only she has the vac on blow instead of suck, so it dosent work,,,of course! lol | ||

The Honeymooners Yes, It was a G.E. Airflo tank, with the short runners. IIRC, they removed the General Electric nameplate from the machine. | ||

on the partrige fam it was a Regina brush and beat if I remember right. Roseanne, Jackie had a Hoover Spirit she used for cleaning her apt., Who's the boss had some kind of kenmore and didn't Grace under fire have one like it? What was the hoover (upright) over in the corner on Lavern and Shirley? Family Matters also had a canister of some sort, Steve was vacuuming and sucked the water and fish out of the fish tank in Carl's living room. It has been to many years since I have seen it to remember what it was. Remember the Cosby show in the ninties with Madelin Kahn? In the closet Cosby's wife (the same wife from the original Cosby show) had a cheap white and blue round hood Eureka upright. | ||
