The BEWITCHED Major Appliance Inventory

And then there are.....

....the cars of Bewitched, too!
Talk about some great classics!
My favorite was the Camaro SS.
The Corvair was sweet, too.

Yes cars too!

Also the Impalas, and Chevelle converts., and the Astro-vette? show car in one episode.

The automobile that really stands out for me was the 1966 Caprice Coupe that the Stephens had.  I thought that was really sweet.

 

According to the wikipedia article, General Motors, Chevrolet Division sponsored the show for the first five seasons.  That would clearly explain all of the Frigidaire appliances.  But the termination of GM's sponsorship is closely timed with the fire on the set as mentioned above.  So after the kitchen set was destroyed and subsequently redesigned, there appears to have been some kind of association with either the gas appliance industry or a gas association.  That's when the gas cooktop and gas wall oven appear, and kinda explains why, if there were only room for one laundry appliance it would be a dryer - not just any dryer, but a gas dryer mind you - and nothing better than a gas Maytag with the pilot light access panel clearly visible on the front.

 

There is no connection noted in the context of the wikipedia article but I'm betting some kind of link existed.

Speaking of "Bewitched", actor Harry Holcombe appeared in several episodes, most notably as the judge when Aunt Clara conjured up Ben Franklin, and he stole a fire truck. His sister Dorothy was my sister's piano teacher, and our church's choir director for many years. Their father had been a pastor at the church in the 40's, and were later my parent's neighbors - before I was born. He later became well known as the Country Time Lemonade grandpa.

Probably it had already been discussed but why they change all these appliances during the relatively short time?
I mean, it is weird for a normal family to switch appliances and furniture that often of course.
Well Samantha was anything but normal but I don't think it has something to do with it.
It is weird
More so it was in those days.
So did it have something to do with appliance advertisement?
Usually when they make a set for a series they stick up to those appliances or only change a few.
