tv series vacs

[charles~richard]

There's another Here's Lucy where she tries to vacuum up a s#!tload of marbles that spilled on the tile floor in her kitchen -- with a Hoover 28...!! (Or was it a 305 heheh??)

And there's another Three Stooges with a straight-suction Royal whose bag grows bigger and bigger, à la Blondie, until it floats up into the air. Don't remember any more of the plot than that. And there's another one where the Stooges are living outdoors on a vacant lot. They have their entire household set up on the grass and dirt, and there's a Premier upright standing there.

Does anyone remember what kind of canister vacuum Ralph brought home on The Honeymooners, It has been so long that I don't remember what make it was.

The Honeymooners

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

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.

I happened to catch S5 E17 of THE DONNA REED SHOW, "A Woman's Place", with a scene of Mary vacuuming with a Hoover Convertible. It originally aired on January 10, 1963, so I'm guessing that since it had a non-white handle without a hand grip it was a Model 31 Special. I was half watching, so it may have been a Model 65, but I don't think it had a headlight.

It reminded me of the one I've seen on several episodes of THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, which Aunt Bee kept by the back door in the kitchen.

There was an episode of The Bob Newhart show where they had an Electrolux 1205, I believe it was on a chair and they were using it as a blower. Also, there was an old sitcom called Please Don't Eat the Daisies, where they used a Hoover 913 to vacuum their giant old house. On Seinfeld there was a few episodes that there was Kirby Sanitronic 7 being used in George Costanza's parents house, also on the Sopranos, there was a similar Kirby in Tony's mothers house. Also, on the Sopranos, even though Tony's house had central vacuum, the cleaning service uses a Sanitaire SC886 upright.

Wow

The vacuum knowledge everyone has is impressive. You guys are mentioning shows 70 years ago (the 3 stooges). It could be older than I mentioned too. Truly impressive knowledge.
