Roseanne had a "wheat" colored 1-18 set, it's the refrigerator that was Poppy!
I have posted screen captures from some episodes here but I don't know which they are!
See posts 102-102-104 in this thread, unfortunately, I don't have the episode numbers... www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/T...
I don't have many pictures of my own collection posted here but they are free to use whatever they want from the pics on my Flickr account.
here are the few I posted here: automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/00Sho...

Maybe they're referring to Lucy's stacked Westinghouse duo that was in their kitchen? It was in several episodes. The one I remember best is where Lucy and Ethel are eating eggs in the Ricardo kitchen, and come up with the idea to raise chickens for profit. It was when they were in Connecticut. I don't remember any CT episodes that show Lucy actually "doing" laundry.

The I Love Lucy episode featuring the washing machine is "Never Do Business With Friends." This episode aired during their second season after Little Ricky was born. Lucy wants a new washer and dryer to deal with all the baby's laundry. The Ricardos sell their old washing machine to the Mertzs and it erupts in their kitchen. The episode originally aired on 6-29-53.

Roseanne pilot episode "Life And Stuff" which aired on Oct 18, 1988 featured a Maytag set, but I am not sure of the color. |

I remember the Partridge family having a 1969 kenmore set with the slant controls. Good heavens that's been a long time ago. There was one episode mrs. Partridge was carrying some folded clothes out of the laundry room, only caught a glimpse of it. |

I even remember an old episode of Superman where they had a very classic looking Hamilton washer and dryer set. |

I remember that My Three Sons episode where the washer makes a funny noise and rocks around and then a wheel rolls out across the kitchen floor. Unfortunately, there was no further development of that plot line. |

It was Audrey Hepburn……….. and Goldie Hawn’s washer in Overboard is a Whirlpool…also in the episode where the Partridges are trying to conserve energy they have a Philco Bendix Pair from the late 60’s in the basement next to the freezer. You see them when they are cleaning out disconnecting the freezer to save energy…PAT COFFEY

Appliguy, Thank You! Yes Audrey Hepburn. However in Overboard both the wringer and the automatic washer presented to her while in bed are Maytag. It was a Maytag automatic after the timers moved to the right with a black panel. -A |

Goldie Hawn did have a Maytag wringer washer, then was given the new DD Whirlpool toward the end. This post was last edited 09/17/2015 at 20:03 |

Bewitched's second episode featured that classic Maytag washer and Dryer set (one all pushbuttons and one with a dial) and that Whirlpool dishwasher with the window in the door.
Roseanne and Meryl Streep's "She Devil" featured two vintage sets: a coppertone 70's Filter-Flo set in the house she blows up and an improbably ordinaire Hotpoint set in Mary Fisher's seaside mansion. The production designers should have supplied a pink set for that character.
Vera Donovan had a very MOL Kenmore set featured in a flashback in "Dolores Claiborne".
Jeannie screws up the wash spectacularly in a spectacular turquoise early A806 Washpower set in a 2nd season episode where she gives up her powers for 1 week
Let us not forget the Webmaster's Unimatic set featured prominently in "Mona Lisa Smile".
That wonderful romp through a field of Maytags by Dick Van Dyke in "What a Way to Go" with Shirley MacLaine.
Jerry Lewis destroying an entire working appliance department in "Who's Minding the Store?"
There's two shots of a 1960 GE Custom-4 Cycle Pull-out dishwasher in "Capote" with Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
There was also a turquoise Rollermatic prominently featured in an episode of "Gidget" that someone did an entire post with.
Tom and Jerry always had a front loader convenient for cat-humiliation.

It's not like I need a reason beyond the film's own merits to watch "What a Way to Go" yet again, but now that I've been reminded about the Maytags, I'll have to watch for them.
Didn't somebody mention an interesting machine sighting in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"
Jon, are any of these posts actually helping the cause? |

Probably too politically loaded for their needs, but the classic film "El Norte" has a cute scene where the sister is charged with doing the rich Gringa's laundry and brought to an alcove that holds my favorite Lady Kenmores with all the color-coded buttons and complicated controls; CUT TO-- a large beautiful green lawn(in 1980's California BTW) the the week's clean wash is being laid out beach-blanket style to dry.
That last one came to me in a spinning class this morning. Who knows what will get regurgitated next?
There must be a bunch of Disney movies and TV shows with laundry scenes.
Does anyone have a copy of that GM Frigidaire commercial where the little boy makes chocolate milk in the Rollermatic?
What about the episode of "The Cosby Show" where, new to the cast, Raven Symone throws her crayons into Mrs. Huxtable's Filter-Flo to clean them? (What am I thinking?) |
