Just watching that 7O's show and noticed the perfect set of avacado Maytags in the basement. Beauties!! Anyone know the model of the washer? | ||

I could be wrong, but it looked to me like the washer had 4 temp buttons, 2 speeds, and 4 water levels. That would make it an A608. Have a good one, James | ||

The only other possibility I could think of is a late model A606S, with suds saver. If I remember correctly, Save Suds/Drain Suds buttons were on the left side of the console. By the way, welcome to AWORG. It is a place I like to go at the end of the day to look at the old washers I loved as a kid. James | ||

Am almost sure I've seen the mother or that trampy daughter put things in/take items out of the washing machine. Highly doubt either unit is hooked up so they really don't hype usage up, after all the show is about other things. Have to say, find it rather hard to believe neither parent, much less the hard-assed father do not smell what the children are up to downstairs. In our house even the scent of fabric softener from the basement laundry room wafted upstairs. Then again, the trampy daughter has boys coming in and out of her room like it was the Gents at Grand Central Terminal, and again neither parent seems to notice. If you look closely at the shelf above the washer and dryer, there is a nice collection of vintage laundry products as well. L. | ||

Laundress did you live through the 70's? For those of us who did, it is hard to believe. We had a neighbor who had a setup like that 70's show and there was haziness all the time (especially when they watched Mr. Rogers). Turns out that the parents were in denial, that is, as Nancy Grace would say: "Elephant in the room". But the denial was so strong in this family that I am sure the whole house smelled of "the haze". Sounds like you would have been tough parent in the 70s. Another thing that maybe only I and people here would notice - They have an electric water heater on a "pedestal" but there is a flue pipe above the heater. Also check out the scary shower that is usually behind Fez. P.S. I do think those that teenagers in the 70s drove less than they do today. Who would not be sooo embarassed to be driving a Vista Cruiser, I know I didn't like our wagon! | ||

Was a mere slip of a thing in the 1970's but my house was pretty much like many others of the time. Father worked, mother was a stay at home mom/housewife. Red Froman is pretty much like mine and many other fathers I knew growing up, a total hard-ass, while the mothers were allot like Mrs. Forman, that is a loving kind counterweight to the strict father. They were no push overs mind you, as my mom and many others would reach for the wooden spoon or whack you upside the head if provoked, but normally they would just yap at you until your mind went blank! *LOL* Since I grew up in the surburbs, have to say most teenagers were happy to get their hands on any car. Most households had at least two (one dad drove to work, and the second was at home for the wife to use), and some even had three. The third car usually was one either parent replaced with a new car, and gave the unused one to the "children". Of course some boys simply purchased and fixed up some jalopy (IIRC, they called them hot rods), as that was the era when men and boys seemed to like nothing better than brining down property values with some wreck sitting in the drive as they worked to bring it back to life. Allot about "That 70's Show" does not mirror what I remember growing up, but then again it is a televison show. Am sure teens fooled around, but it seems the parents on the show either don't know what goes on on under their roofs, or don't care to know. Mrs. Foreman does have her daughter's number, but Red won't hear of it (typical). Actually kind of like Red Forman, every time he calls Eric "dumb ass" it reminds me so much of the father's I grew up with. You know, back when a father could put his foot up his son's behind and not go to jail for child abuse. Men like Red, guys that fought in the WWII,and Korea, came home to what they thought were good jobs in factories, and such, only to be displaced when globalisation started to take hold. It was like the world they knew was caving in. Raised by men who lived through the Depression, and perhaps lived through some of it themselves, such men had a very different view than their children, who knew only good times. Am here to tell you though, if any of us children were caught smoking anything in Big Daddy's house, we wouldn't be alive to tell the tale! *LOL* | ||

Think the kitchen Donna's mom has is prettier than Mrs. Foreman's. In fact the former's kitchen is more like I remember most from the period, the latter seems kind of odd to me, and not very well laid out. However guess in the "real world" putting the sink opposite the glass doors gives the housewife something to look at while she is washing dishes, much in the same way most kitchens have windows over the sink. That also give moms a birds eye view of what their children are doing outside in the yard. Yes, the DW and sink are in the island away from the stove/counter area so you really cannot see the DW. Strange, the only time Red and Kitty thought Eric was on "dope", he was actually having issues because he caught his parents at it. The time he really was strung out on "dope" Eric was called upstairs to his parents to hear Red had decided to give him the Vista Crusier. Poor Eric could barely keep his head from spinning and loosing his cookies. Oh don't forget the time Red did find a stash, and Hyde was blamed (it turned out to belong to one of the other children). To save Hyde Eric confesses to Red (over the objections of Donna and Mrs. Foreman), that not only was the stash his, but that he and the others have been smoking the stuff since about 8th grade. Finally there is the episode where Hyde goes to bake "funny" brownies for Mrs. Foreman's yard sale, and the adults got at them. Show obviously is not real life, for instance boys were NEVER allowed in girls room's much less upstairs or alone when I was growning up. If girls and boys or a boy and girl were alone in a room it would either be an open room like the living room, where things could be monitored, or if it was in another room Mom's would say "leave that door open", or "I'm just in the next room and can come in here at any minute". Ohh we had no privacy, did we. Father made it a point to remind us that it was His house, we didn't own anything, nor could make any rules, nor lay down any laws. *LOL* L. | ||
