vacs on tv

[eurekaprince]

My favourite line from the "Roseanne" show:

"I ain't vacuuming until Sears makes one I can ride on...."

Dragnet.

As to the Electrolux model LX. The attachments are on the companion (tool holder) correctly. I'm impressed!

Samantha‘s Hoover Dial-A-Matic has magically transported itself almost 60 years into the future, and into my hands.

I never noticed before that they put a chrome strip over the "HOOVER" logo. They did such a good job concealing that I thought it was always like that. They must have not wanted to pay Hoover that day, lol

I had accumulated a list of TV "vacuum cleaner sightings" but I can't find it. Off the top of my head--


 


Premier tank on Dennis the Menace. It was Mrs. Wilson's. Mr. Wilson was using it to look for a rare postage stamp.


 


G.E. Roll-Easy on Dennis the Menace. Dennis took the machine outside to vacuum up leaves.


 


G.E. Roll-Easy on I Dream of Jeannie. Major Nelson sucked Jeannie up into the Roll Easy. I don't remember why.


 


Kirby early 500-series on Petticoat Junction. A house with wacky wiring went haywire. When one of the girls flicked a wall switch the Kirby went rolling across the floor. (It had the floor polisher nozzle on it.)


 


Modern Hygiene tank on Hazel. Also, another episode where a custom-made prop vacuum cleaner was used.


 


These are the ones that come right to mind; I'm sure I'll think of more.

Rainbow on Everybody Loves Raymond.

There was also an Eureka Princess on Three's company. Larry borrows it to clean his apartment.

Hoover Convertible on The Dick Van Dyke Show. Laura (Mary Tyler Moore) won it and several other small appliances as one of the contestants on a TV game show.

Thanks for that info Gary! Found the Three's Company episode on Youtube: season 5, episode 6, "Room at the Bottom"...a nice Harvest Gold Princess....but he takes it without any attachments! Some Art Directors knew nothing about vacs.....

Same Three's Company episode has a restaurant busboy using a Royal upright with a blue bag.....

Turquoise Electrolux G on Bob Newhart Show.

I found the Love American Style episode!!!! Season 3, Episode 5: "Love and the Guilty Conscience" starring Jo Anne Worley. It's that beautiful 1970 avocado green Princess with the woodgrain insert on top...the salesman brings in a red Eureka tool caddy too!

See link below...YouTube is amazing.....

Of course ... Westinghouse tank on I Love Lucy! 


 


On a later episode she's using a Hoover 2 upright (don't remember the model) with a lot of business of using the attachments. Product Placement much?!

 

[huskyvacs]

I'm amazed they didn't use Hazel more often to promote new vacuums - since she was a housemaid and all. I guess they didn't want the show to become a marketing schlock for vacuums or cleaning products.

 

[eurekaprince]

Ray Romano using a Rainbow….here’s the clip…hysterical!!!!

 

[paul]

Bub O'Casey used an Electrolux USA model XXX on several episodes of MY THREE SONS.I haven't seen what Uncle Charley used.
