When I was in college I got the Game Show Network, and many bored afternoons were spent with Match Game '74. Ah, Brett Summers!

Roseanne used a Hoover Dial-a-Matic to clean the basement. In another episode she used an '80s Electrikbroom; the dust bag was flaccid with the sound of the motor dubbed.

Turkey Day is fast approaching, and I thought it might be nice for us to share our Thanksgiving traditions and favorite ways of celebrating. My mom makes desserts (pumpkin pies and pumpkin rolls) the day before, and on Thanksgiving we have dinner at my aunt's house. Mom makes gravy ('cause...

Our pets are every bit as much a part of our lives as the human members of our families. Anyone who says it's just an animal is ignorant. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

I have an older friend who says she used to live on Quaaludes, and she still misses them to this day.

Hopelessly Northern In my part of the country: Fried chicken comes courtesy of Banquet Biscuits are neatly packed in paper tubes Jiffy cornbread is used to make stuffing (not often) Macaroni and cheese is a one-dish meal Collard greens are those things in the cans that nobody buys, even when...

I used to live with an idiot roommate who decided to paint the bathroom. The result was blue water-based paint from one end of the house to the other--including the leg of my yellow bell bottoms. I still haven't found a way to get it out.

I'd say it's a later '60s model.

I love to smoke, and it's never caused a problem when I go out. In Pennsylvania the restaurants have smoking and non-smoking sections, so nobody bothers anybody else. I'm not a bar person, but I used to frequent a nightclub that had ventilation systems (which should be in place even if no one is...

Trading stamps started falling out of favor in the '60s, when several grocery stores dropped them to combat rising food prices. Then in the '70s gas stations dropped all customer incentives in the face of the oil crisis. I understand that trading stamps are still available in some areas, but on...

I actually like the green zebra room! When I was a kid we had dark, dark wood paneling and olive green indoor-outdoor carpet. In the '90s (the true decorating abyss), the carpet was replaced, the paneling painted over, and the living room filled with the most uncomfortable foam-and-plywood...

I am speechless before this magnificent Queen! I've never seen one in coppertone before. And is that a metal agitator?

Hey there, Norgiegirl! I'm no expert, but she has kind of a mid '70s look about her.

I love the Pink Panther. It also had some great companion pieces, "The Inspector" and "The Ant and the Aardvark" (with the voice of John Byner).

Maytagmom, do you mean Fritz the Cat? "We're not rated X for nothin', baby!"

I use them interchangably, though I usually refer to a cast iron pan as a skillet.

Neat machine. Love the Philco-ish control panel. I'm guessing it's circa 1970?

There was a Maytag square-tub wringer washer on the porch in both "House of 1000 Corpses" and "The Devil's Rejects."

It's been so long since I've had homemade waffles... Throw some Canadian bacon in the electric skillet. I'll be over for breakfast shortly.

Carrie's mother had a Philco single-door refrigerator from the late '40s/'50s and an apartment-size gas range. I wonder if she had a washer or if she went to the "sinful" laundromat. The apartment in "Rosemary's Baby" came equipped with a gold Frigidaire fridge and matching 36" Wedgewood gas...
