Married With Children

Yes the kitchen had coppertone Kenmore appliances--aty least the dishwasher.  Her Keyboard Lady Kenmore laundry pair were avcado I believe--right next to the kitchen in fact.
 
I'll second on The Beverly Hillbillies

Two ovens, an 8 burner gas cook top, 2 double sinks? and those TOL Maytags just off the kitchen? Not only did they change the location of the refrigerator/freezer in the second season, they also moved to location of the 2 wall ovens. In season 1 they were at the end of the counter that had the cook top on it. By season 2 they were moved to the wall next to the pantry.

Lisa Douglas, her fried chicken secret? A bag of Dee Dee's Dehydrated Mason Dixon Chicken Dinner into a quart of boiling water for 5 minutes!
 
Also on GREEN ACRES:

And Lisa also had a sack of Hal's Hotcake Flour!

Funny how despite having an electric stove, that they still used the big wood burning stove (and remember how she put the electric coffee pot on one of the burners& it melted on?)...

I used to watch Roseanne at my friend Jill's house. Jill always thought it was the ugliest house ever on tv. It wasn't till the second or third year Roseanne was on, that Jill realized she had and still has the exact same couch. Complete with afghan on the back.
 
I never saw the Frigidaire washer & dryer on ROSEANNE, only the Maytag set (& remember the irony of the Connors having such an expensive though really ordinary) brand), and on MARRIED W/ CHILDREN, I thought Peg had an electric range similar to the Connor family's...

Here's the Glass Bottom Boat kitchen clip. Gotta love how Doris winds up being mistaken for garbage by the floor cleaner.

 
I know

that was Rod Taylor. He doesn't sound anything like Grandma Walton. But the lady that told him he had a phone call. That sounded like Ellen Corby.

Well, off to make din-din. I have a bag of Dee Dee's Dehydrated New England Boiled Dinner.
 
Glass Bottom Boat and Glee

As a techie nerd in 1966, I loved the kitchen in "Glass Bottom Boat", replete with a microwave. Also, on "Glee", the kitchen in the Hummel's home where Kurt is trying to teach his father to make a souffle.

Techie geek and Gleek too....Kurt Hummel is my avatar!
 
Joe,

I believe the kitchen pic of Rock Hudson and Doris Day, that you posted, is from "Lover Come Back." It was the second of the three movies that Rock and Doris made.

The little kitchen in Pillow Talk was, nonetheless, enticing in its own way. It had neat, less than full size range hood, It did have a full size dishwasher, not bad for an apartment in 1959. Anyone know what brand it is?

Who can forget the scenes in the kitchen with frustrated Doris a hungover Thelma Ritter!
 
Pillow Talk Kitchen

Please excuse the poor quality snapped a quick picture off of a VHS copy. Can anyone identify the dishwasher??

I can't indentify the dishwasher in the Doris Day photo, but I have the manual drip coffee maker to the right in the photo.  I bought it a Zabar's in New York in 1997.  Used a couple of times and it's been in the cabinet ever since.  I think it's a cool design tho.   That cook pot to the right, is it Dansk or Le Creuset? 
 
Andy:

The cook pot appears to be Le Creuset; the coffeemaker is a Chemex pot, designed by Peter Schlumbohm in 1939 and first marketed in 1941-42.

There is a piece of Dansk in the shot - that's a Number 802 tray behind Thelma Ritter, designed by Jens Quistgaard. The end of the tray is just behind Thelma's right sleeve.

BTW, I am not crazy about Pillow Talk, because of its near-criminal misuse of Thelma. Ms. Ritter was one of the finest acerbic comediennes ever - having her play a stock drunk was a real comedown from the fine work she did in movies like All About Eve and A Letter to Three Wives.
 
I agree Sandy. Thelma Ritter was a WONDERFUL actress. Her straight dramatic, non-acerbic, performance as the mother of the murderer, Robert Stroud in "Birdman of Alcatraz" (1962) was deeply moving. Her role in "The Mating Season" (1951) made the whole movie (My personal favorite of her films.) Marilyn Monroe's last movie, "The Misfits" wouldn't have been the same without her, nor would have Alfred Hitchcock's, "Rear Window."

Of course we all remember her as the frustrated New York mother in "Miracle on 34th Street" (1947).

I love her performance in Pillow Talk. It makes a delightful movie something extra special. It just shows what a wide range of talent Miss Ritter had.
