That would be about the same time that Donna Reed and Shelly Fabre got those iron hairdos. Did Sears have a brand of hairspray also? ;-) | ||

Or two The question was genuine, of interest and - even if it had not been, you could just have easily answered it with your silence I wouldn't be so p.o.'d if you didn't so often have really interesting and intelligent views on things Lighten up, will ya? | ||

Not Donna Reed but ...
Being as the topic of sitcom washers has been bought up again, and so as to not start another thread on the topic .. I don't recall if it has been mentioned that Abner & Gladys Kravitz had a pushbutton Maytag pair in Bewitched Season 1 Episode 29 "Abner Kadabra." I tried doing a screen capture of it on my computer DVD player, but the image comes up blank. :-( | ||

Here's a vague memory-- Anyone remember the Debbie Reynolds show? It was on in the late '60s or maybe very early '70s, and I don't think it ran very long Anyway, Debbie had hired a maid or something (played by Julie Newmar, I believe) who was Russian and didn't understand American appliances Long story short, Julie mistook the front-loading washer for the dishwasher Hilarity ensued veg | ||

Gawd, Debbie Reynolds. She was Graces Mother on Will and Grace. She also played Crystal Bernards mother on Wings I find it hard to think of her as having a 60s show. She reminds me of my dear aunt Joan. | ||

Unless I'm remembering this completely wrong, there's an episode of Twin Peaks with a scene of the characters Shelly and Leo Johnson (I think) outside their house, with a Maytag, possibly an AMP. I have season 1 DVD set but haven't watched it through. I don't recall if the episode in question was in season 1 or 2.

We've had this type of discussion thread before. Tehre was one episode of Beaver where I believe Beaver as going to help his friend, Whitie or Larry, go to the laundromat because their asher had broken down. I think Beaver decided they would go to his house nad do the wash. (the "new" house). I believe the washer you could glimpse at was a Frigidaire Custom and there was a dryer, I think a very NICE Hotpoint or GE, they were definitely not a matched set.

Ok, my memory is only as good as the color TV version of the Beverly Hillbillies, and I remember the Maytags in the back laundry room hall where Jed and Jethrow used to enter the kitchen where Granny was cooking "vittles" on her 8 burner double sided stove. Did granny ever do laundy in those fabulous Maytags? | ||

David, the pair from the original black & white portion of the series, were a matched pair. Maytag didn't have an all-pushbutton dryer at that time. Yes, the buttons on the control panel were just that, like the all pushbutton model, but kinda could "go both ways". Gansky1 I do believe has that same original black & white model set, maybe he'll post pics of them.

Better late than never ...
Here's a picture from the Sears Archive. The caption reads "Donna Reed with a Kenmore washing machine and dryer set, 1963." The original can be found at www.searsarchives.com/brands/deta... Thanks for the neat site! -Scoots

What machine did Joan Crawford have in her Brentwood basement again? Glass fronts on both machines, it's the scene where they had to let Helga go, so they are doing the laundry (gasp) themselves. | ||

Mommy Dearest-The Joan Crawford story The washers in the basement were Kenmores wash/dry combos. They set them up to look like a washer dryer set. | ||

Just saw an episode of the Andy Griffith Show,on TV Land,where Aunt Bea wins big on a TV game show. She wins a new 1965 Frigidaire bottom freezer refrig in coppertone,a coppertone washer and dryer(looked like Whirlpools),a top load dishwasher,a TV,garbage disposer,ice crusher,and a mink coat. Couldn't tell what brand the DW,or TV was. kennyGF | ||

Lucy's appliances You're right! I remember the washer and dryer, but the fridge caught my attention since Norge did a marketing push in '66-'67 ("Knock on any Norge") and it was one of the few times I saw a Norge appliance showcased for anything... | ||
