It certainly has been a vacuum cleaner bonanza on vintage TV shows this week. I just turned the TV on and "Bachelor Father" was on, a show I've only seen a couple of times.
Bentley Gregg (John Forsythe), the bachelor father, lives with his daughter Kelly (Noreen Corcoran) and a male Japanese housekeeper Peter (Sammee Tong).
When I turned the TV on, Bentley was scolding Peter for buying a new vacuum cleaner. Peter was kneeling on the floor putting together a G.E. Swivel-Top!! It appeared to be the green and chrome model. The hose was light-colored but I couldn't tell if it was woven or coiled.
Here's the info I dug up on it -- no links to a video, alas...
--------------------------------
"Never-married attorney Bentley Gregg took on the task (with help from his housekeeper Peter) of raising his young niece Kelly, after her parents died in an accident. The job was easier when Kelly was a little girl, but now she's in her teens, and beginning to date and venture into the adult world, while Bentley continues to juggle his career, looking after Kelly, and his own romantic life."
[Any subliminal messages here??!]
The episode with the vacuum cleaner:
Bachelor Father: BENTLEY AND THE LOST CHORD
22 Dec 60 NBC Thur
TV producer Don Wheeler overhears Peter humming a tune while testing a
new vacuum cleaner. Peter wants the vacuum cleaner, but Wheeler wants
the tune for the theme of his TV series.
