Agnes Moorehead (Endora) was a good friend to and of Dick York. She felt he had been hard done and didn't hold back sharing those feelings at the time. Still as you say everyone got on and stuck to job at hand.
Such things as television series shows like this often had varied sponsers throughout it's run, which naturally would attribute to the fluid changes in props/scenery an furnishings.
yup... with the lighted control panels and "crystal" knobs. wish I had a pair, they'd outlast me!
She probably just waited until nobody was looking and wiggled her nose at the laundry...
In the episode with George and Martha Washington, Samantha tried to tell Martha Washington how wonderful her laundry appliances were, but Martha had slaves who took care of that. so she was not impressed. Now the wiggling of Samantha's nose would come in handy for the folding and putting away of laundry.
Electric dishwashers, like the 240 volt Lady Kenmore, could heat water to 180F without the danger of the heated exhaust at the toe plate so the Preway gas DW was the answer to a question never asked.
Ya gotta dance with who brung ya... Preway built gas appliances, so it made perfect sense to them! I can't imagine stuffing a bunch of gas controls and a burner under a dishwasher and expecting it to be safe, let alone having to work on it!
Don't forget the spark plug for the igniter. Plus you have to consider the efficiency. 100% of the heat generated by an electric immersion element went into the water versus how much of the heat of the gas burner was wasted as exhaust.
Don't recall that many Bewitched episodes with Sam (or anyone else) doing laundry. It was all producers seemed to be able to do is get the machines in shot it seems.
Brady Bunch as well.
Mrs. Brady's Whirlpool set saw some action.
