Besides outright sponsorship of LDCH, Desi and Westinghouse "had an arrangement". Product placement before it was widely prevalent. Subtle, you couldn't tell the brand unless you already knew it.
This is part of how I came to speak with Desi by phone. Dad worked for W and they happened to be traveling together. When Desi got to the airport he phoned me at home. Good thing I wasn't screwing off building mud dams in the creek across the street that afternoon. This was right at the ILL->LDCH transition. I was 10. |

My Gosh, Vivian Vance looks like Joanne Woodward here! No wonder Lucy was worried about Vivian looking too young beside her. The major appliances have gone to the squared corner look so it must be what, 1958? |

Why did some of the LDCH episodes have Hotpoint appliances? Had the WH deal/partnership fallen apart? |

It was rather strange seeing Fred & Ethyl in color. Was this originally filmed in color or was it colorized? I'm guessing this was filmed around 1957-58 or so. |

I can't see youtubes, compatibility issue.
Hotpoint? I can't splain it. I also can't splain why Wally puts ice cream in the top of a bottom-freezer GE. Wiki says the first LDCH season was sponsored by Ford; not in my recollection but both that and Wiki have been known to stutter. Only 6 of 13 LDCHs show the house, and unlike on the NY set Connecticut seldom shows the kitchen. Speaking of freezers, when Lucy gets out from being locked in the walk-in, they wrap her in an electric blanket. Catch the brand? Yep, Westinghouse. |
