Remember when that idiot Jan rode her bicycle into the garage and ran into the framed picture of the kids they had made for their mother's anniversary present? Because she wouldn't wear her new glasses? Anyhow, while the boys are sneaking out in their good clothes to have the portrait re shot, Alice brings out the Electrolux tank to vacuum the living room. It looks like a metallic blue with the matching cord halo and a wrong floor tool. Any way we could get a magic screen capture from someone on that one? Hint hint Robert or Charles~Richard?
 
I don't have any Brady Bunch episodes on DVD and don't have cable or satellite. And I don't remember that episode. I thot Alice used a Hoover convertible.
 
Hey Guys! Anyone remember the episode where Greg buys his first car and the kids use an Electrolux Model 30 to clean it up with. The vacuum was in a whole lot better shape than the car was, I can tell you that! Later, Trg
 
a look back at the Brady vac

I remember this episode,and the machine was probably a Metropolitan-rebuilt Electrolux due to the matching cord halo.The Bradys were using a Hoover Convertible to vacuum Greg's attic room in the billie goat as mascot episode.As with many sitcoms,different vacs show up in different episodes.
 
I remember the episode you are speaking of and Alice did use a Lux. I think there is another scene where she is using a canister to vacuum in the living room. Most of the time it was a Hoover.

oohhh that Alice!!

I think that ALICE was nipping into the hommade wine that Mr. Brady had out in the garage. She probably got a bit tipsy( and who would not having to deal with that Jan...ohh those kids..)and went to the neighbours house and borrowed Aun Bea's vacuum and forgot where she lived. Either that or she mugged an electrolux sales man!! Does anyone remember the episode where Alice actually does nip into the homemade wine, in the garage??
 
does anybody hacve any stills or any pictures from dvds of alice using a vacuum?

What vacuums where used at their house? I was told a kenmore magicord for one episode!
 
At this time three or four, one a Hoover Convertible, two and three, an Electrolux tank with a rebuild paint job and wrong floor tool, another Elux tank, and some kind of canister. I wrote in my Roll-Easy thread about the half colored Roll-Easy that Tony vacuumed Jeannie up in the colorized 1st season of "I Dream of Jeannie". Turquoise wheels, grey body.
 
Well it could be Alice had a vacuum fetish as well or Mike was a closeted vacuum collector amongst other things.
 
Thanks Robert, that was really fun to see. I had forgotten that poor Alice didn't even have the correct attachments for her Electrolux, gee you would have thought Mr. Brady could have afforded a brand new complete Electrolux for her.
 
Speaking of Alice,

Anybody remember when her name was Charmaine Schultz, otherwise known as "Schultzie," in a show called "Love That Bob," starring Bob Cummings? She vacuumed with a big wheel Lewyt back in those days. And by the way, is she still living?

Ann B. Davis is still with us, and thanks Robert, that's really great of you to post that pic of Alice. If anyone does have the colorized first season of "I Dream Of Jeannie", watch for that funky grey and turquoise Roll-Easy Sandra Gould is trying to use. I remember "Love That Bob" and I have a Wake Forest College monthly with a big Winston/Love That Bob ad on back, in color. I believe "Schultzie" is on the left.
