There was an entire episode of the 1970's comedy "Love American Style" that seemed to show many scenes with a Eureka Princess canister cleaner. I can't remember the details, I just remember being glued to the TV at the time! If anyone has a link to the summary of the episode, I'd greatly appreciate it!

As a kid I liked this show because of the theme song and some the fun they were often having. I remember an episode where someone was putting cigarettes in an aquarium. It was weird. lol

Fortunately, there are a lot of uploads of this fun show on youtube. Most are good quality, too. So you can peruse the episodes and hopefully find the episode.

I recently watched the episode with both Jack Kluggman and his real life wife Brett Somers and of they were playing a married couple who were cheating on each other. It was a cute ending.

Thanks Keith!!!

I actually found an episode of Love American Style from season three that has the following title and Description: "Love and the Guilty Conscience - Farce about a jealous husband and a vacuum cleaner salesman.". This must be the one!! It originally aired in October of 1971 and I distinctly remember the vacuum being sold was that cool avocado Eureka Princess with the beige hose and tools! The housewife was played by zany Jo Anne Worley!!!

Now to find the episode on YouTube......

I just found a Modern Hygiene tank vac like that in the trash; previous owner vacuumed water & had mice. Also the bag was petrified. Should I save it or throw it away? Its my 1st Modern Hygiene vac I've ever owned

It only had a worn leaky hose; no other attachments

If I decide to keep it I might use it for dirty jobs

This wasn't in movies but on tv

What about on the Flintstones the small elephant tide with rope on 4 wheels, or on the Jetsons where this robot thing vacuums up the cat then it sneezes itself out?

 

[oreck_xl]

I've been trying to figure out for the longest what kind of tank cleaner they used for the movie "Mac and Me." Whatever it was, I'm sure it was modified.

 

[hoover300]

@oreck_xl

I just saw the clip,it looks like a Royal/ Electro Hygiene. It has the wheels, pointy back end, color, and an early belden plug.

 

[oreck_xl]

Thank you Hoover300. The lighting was so dim in those scenes it's hard to tell. But were Belden plugs used on Royals?

 

[hoover300]

Although I cannot see from pictures of the vac, older royals did. The model appears to be the red first model(repainted?). In the scene where they plug it in and chase mac, the plug looks like a rounded kirby machine end plug, but with prongs. Both of my Premier Spic Spans have this molded plug.

 

[johnnyb59c]

more from Hazel

also had Electrolux XII and model E. and whatabout the "Davidson"?(not a real vacuum I dont think but had Electrolux attachments

 

[human]

I was watching "My Name is Earl" on DVD a couple of weeks ago and there was a scene in one episode where one of Earl's neighbors in the trailer park is vacuuming a rug, hung on an outdoor clothesline, with a vintage Electrolux LX.

 

[elecroluxmodel1]

I saw...

An Electrolux model xxx in the Carol Burnette show. Tim Conway was the vacuum salesman and brought in a vacuum called the Davis 500 but you could tell it was an Electrolux model xxx.

 

[johnnyb59c]

I forgot a couple

there was a GE Roll Easy on I Dream of Jeannie but it was green and gray(almost like Montgomery Ward colors) I never saw a green one before. after that I only saw the Hoover that was on Bewitched. also saw an Electrolux XXX on The Flying Nun they were using to power a pump organ with explosive results. Kenmore commander on Munsters and on Father Knows Best what looked like a Premier Duplex not sure.
