I have seen this on other TV shows-Dennis the Menance and the movie- "Ghost In The Machine"(dishwasher instead of a washer)I haven't tried it at home-Since there are no parents around to kill me if it really works-maybe an idea just for fun."Will-It-suds"?
 
Leave It To Beaver

There is a "Beaver" episode where the Beav and I think Larry Mondello lose or spend all of Larry's moms laundromat money on the way to wash clothes. Beaver lets Larry use June's washer in their beautiful new house that has the all electric G.E. kitchen with the double wall ovens and push-button cooktop. I assume the washer and dryer are also G.E. Is it possible to remove images from that DVD episode to post? What say you?
 
I don't have the DVD episode you describe of Larry and Beaver losing the laundry money for the laundramat and doing the laundy in the new house.I have two DVD boxed sets of them in their older home.I am not a computer expert and would not know how to transfer images from the DVDSs to the computer.With the copygurad-Macrovision on current DVDs you may not be able to do that.Computer experts--Yes or no?I would like to see the episode.I remember a Dennis the Menance episode where Judy puts too much detergent in the washer and it overflows suds.Also another episode where Dennis uses the washer like a blender to make a milkshake for the whole neighborhood!Guess he needed a Shredmore for that one.Would love to get Dennis the Menance episodes on DVD.
 
There is also a Little Rascals episode where the kids overflow a wringer washer as well. As comedy goes over sudsing washing machines are easy bag of tricks staples as probably more than one housewife did the same thing with her new "automatic" washing machine.

Soap Suds To Spare

This clip also reminds me of the scene in the wonderful Doris Day/James Garner, THE THRILL OF IT ALL, when he gets fed up with Doris and her soap powder commercials, storms outside and kicks the many boxes of soap powder, neatly stacked by the pool for the TV commercial, INTO the pool, and it rains that night, so Doris opens the window next morning and is engulfed in the resulting suds.
 
i remember the Beaver...

overflowing the washer. The laundry room was just off the kitchen by the kitchen sink. I don't remember the kitchen though at the time. I thought it was the original house. I know in later episodes they had a GE bottom freezer refrigerator.
 
Mikshake in a Shredmore

I've never tried it, but thought of doing it many times. I think it would have done a good job.

Have a good one,

Yes, you may touch me!

Let the record show that for the academic year of 1973-1974, Michael Lookingland (aka Bobby Brady) was my classmate in the 8th grade at Chadwick School in suburban Los Angeles. 'Fraid I don't remember much about him other than that he was popular and nice to everybody.

That's right! Its the same school where, just a FEW years earlier, things got ugly between Mommie Dearest and the Headmistress over poor Christina's behavior. . . OK, you can touch me again.

Yours in name dropping,

Marty
 
awwww...

it stops before my favorite part, namely where Mrs Brady and Alice open the laundry room door and find the mess. Bobby is in there screaming MOM!!!!

And Alice deadpans: "Mrs Brady the suds are calling you"

LMAO

yeah I know I'm cheesy...
 
LOL

man I still laugh at that episode!!!

I have the whole Brady series on DVD, I have to get that one out and watch it!
 
More Leave It To Beaver

Early this morning, I caught most of the Beaver episode where the Cleavers are in their new house, the parents have to leave the boys alone to take Ward's business trip out of town overnight. Beav leaves the bathtub running when Wally calls him down to dinner. Tub leaks into kitchen, the boys use a dozen towels to clean it up. After seeing the G.E. cooktop and twin ovens, Wally hands Beaver a pile of wet towels and tells him to go to the cellar and put them in the dryer. Knowing how people that work sitcoms tend to rearrange things, later of course, they have the washer and dryer off the kitchen, on the sink side, when Beaver and Larry wet up the kitchen floor.
 
Ohh that hurts!

Now this is interesting, lets look at some high res clips from the Bobby Brady Washing Machine episode, shall we. Looks like they DID gut the Whirlpool for the stunt. Doesn't matter, the poor thing would never spin again after all those suds LOL.

Gutted Washer

When I first saw this episode, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. I hope the props department put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

Was this before or after the episode where Cindy loses Carol's earrings, and through the retracing of steps, everyone figures out that they ended up in the washing machine?

In that episode, the machine was intact. In fact you actually saw Alice raise the agitator to reach under it.

Have a good one,
James
 
</b>I hope the props department put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
Putting it back together (and doing it correctly) is much more of a major job than taking it apart. So I can't imaging them paying the staff to do that.

Well it appears that these two episode aired only a few months apart, but we don't know they order that they were filmed in. But tonight let's take a look at some high resolution shots of "The Great Earring Caper".


86. "Law and Disorder," 12 Jan 1973 [79]
Bobby becomes power-crazy when he is named hall monitor (over sudsing Whirlpool episode).

92. "The Great Earring Caper," 2 Mar 1973 [88]
Peter and Cindy set off to find Carol's missing earrings.

Gosh I love the internet, instant information on any possible subject, not just what that boring "masses" thinks is important. All this would been only an incredible dream when I was a kid.
 
something else to note...

in the earring episode the Washer and dryer are now on the opposite wall from the Bobby/over-suds episode.

whats with the "bio-degradable" on the detergent box? Did people care about that stuff in 1973?
