And then there is the question of why would Wheezy have to wash anything with Marla Gibbs there?
One thing I liked about the FKB kitchen was that they actually appeared to prepare meals using the range and food sometimes burned. Even Jim knew how to turn off a surface unit. They also did laundry, although Margaret sometimes hung laundry to dry when it suited the plot. The other day, I saw an episode where Jim is talking to Brattela, the younger daughter, out in the patio area and he was actually smoking. I had never seen that before. Maybe it was tried and nixed. I read that he did not spend much time with the children on the set; Jane Wyatt was far closer to the children.
For all the GE modernity of the second LITB kitchen, I do not remember seeing a dishwasher in it nor do I remember seeing one in the Brady's kitchen. Am I forgetting something in an obscure place? I remember Alice and Mrs. Brady washing and drying stuff by hand. It's hard to believe an architect would not have a dishwasher in a kitchen; almost as hard to believe as not being able to do anything about three kids in each bedroom except as a plot contrivance.
The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriette held many attractions, not the least of which were the changing Hotpoint appliances. In one episode, Harriette was serving hamburgers off the plug in griddle when one of the boys had a party.
Being a kitchen queen, I always try to scope out kitchens in movies or on TV, but I had not thought about a favorite. I do always give a private cheer when they have an electric range. I notice the major appliances, air conditioners and things like in the original Father of the Bride, where they are made to seem well off by having Sunbeam appliances, including a Coffeemaster on the counter and in the movie The Solid Gold Cadillac, we see the rise in status of Miss Holliday's character Laura Partridge from when she comes in with a little inexpensive electric percolator and then is packing to leave years later and has a Coffeemaster. In Sunset Boulevard, they make coffee in a glass vacuum pot that I think I remember was a GE, but am not sure. We tend to see what we are looking for; mine are cheap thrills.[this post was last edited: 12/9/2012-12:55]
