Answer, Seinfeld fans?
I just saw the episode of Seinfeld where George was talked into taking his fathers car to a mall by Kramer, with the other two along. Father's car got destroyed by an angry mob, because a handicapped woman was not able to use the space. Long story short, George had to be his dads butler, and one last scent he was vacuuming the living room with a Royal or Kirby looking upright. What was it?

Turbo! You are correct! Now what can I give you as a prize?
I wish I could give you a shiny new Oxygen, but alas I can't.
How about good wishes from this side of the pond?

And don't forget the Dyson DC07 on Karen's maid-cart in the episode where she pretends to be a hotel chambermaid!
'Karen, you're supposed to dust with the feather-end, not the stick end...'

Also on Seinfeld when Elaine's Client's husband cleans Jerry's appartment and steals the statue that George was taking to his parents, the Guy drug in a non-self propelled Concept One.

Rhoda Episode......
I remember a wonderful episode of the Rhoda comedy series in the 1970's which featured a classic Hoover upright from the 1950's. Rhoda's mother Ida Morgenstern, a little lady played by Nancy Walker, was shown pushing this monster brown upright with a really loud noise. When Rhoda came onto the set to talk to her, Ida turned it off and they both watched as the vacuum slowly turned off and the bag slooooooooowly deflated! It was hysterical! If anyone can find the clip on YouTube, it's a great vacuum moment in TV history.

Yes....vacuuming DID make Ida relax!
Kinda the way vacuuming makes me relax too. Better than smoking or eating junk food.
Okay Vac Fans, here's a real TV Trivia mystery for you:
On "That 70's Show", there was always a canister vacuum stowed away centre stage in the back of the room in the basement where the gang always met. It is definitely a Eureka / JCPenney / Montgomery Ward / Eaton Viking "Sweet Sixteen" "Ironside" Power Nozzle canister with on-board Tool Pak.
One thing that has bugged me ever since I found this vac on this great show - if the show was set in the 1970's would the Eureka Tool Pak look as it does on the machine that they have placed in the set? Eureka's canister Tool Paks changed when they introduced a floor brush with an attached elbow. This kind of floor and wall brush was provided on canisters in the 1950's, but when the company started offering three floor attachments (regular carpet nozzle, Vibra-Beat nozzle, floor and wall brush), they moved to "elbow-less", "neckless" attachments which were attached with a separate curved steel wand. These neckless attachments stored on large round "buttons" on the Eureka Tool Paks for years without any elbows or curved wands.
Then, at some point in the 1980's, the company returned to offering a floor and wall brush with a neck. This forced a change in design of the Tool Pak. I think the first Eureka Power Team to offer the floor brush+neck was the Silver "Quiet Kleen" with special sound muffler. The power nozzle had also changed by then to offer a "belt view" window on one side of the nozzle. This newer power nozzle is also stored next to the canister on the set of "That 70's Show."
Okay....now with that background in mind, did the producers of "That 70's Show" not make a mistake in placing a 1980's Eureka canister in a show set in the 1970's? The canister shown has a Tool Pak designed for the newer floor brush+elbow. The question I have is: "When did Eureka change their on-board Tool Pak, and did the art directors get this wrong?
Am I obsessed with Eureka vacs or what?????????

Roseanne
On Roseanne there was a Hoover Dial A Matic sometimes in the laundry room by the water heater and then sometimes in Roseanne's budoir (gross) closet.

Hazel
Some of us are old enough to remember the sitcom Hazel with Shirley Booth. What was her vac of choice?

I am so glad someone brought up "Hazel".....
I distinctly remember an episode where she was using a monstrous canister vacuum cleaner. I was so young, that I now do not remember the details. But it sticks in my mind to this day. I can't remember if this was some fictional monster vacuum that some door-to-door salesman "sucked" her into buying, or some other fancy-shmancy machine. I think I remember it blowing up on her, or maybe just smoking or burning. But I can swear there was an episode like this.
Am I dreaming this, or can someone fill me in on the details of this fictional canister monster machine? I think it was a very boxy shape about waist high....with a canister hose and many attachments.

I don't remember that episode, but I have one on a DVD where she's using an Electrolux from the early '50s, and it's a 1962 episode.
