Very nice. Good to learn a few things about the series. I knew about Westinghouse being a sponsor. I have the same type of vacuum that was used a little in the series. That DR looks like an early model too.

That is the offending washing machine, a modified Launderall machine with some additions to legally clear the use of the machine in the episode. Attachments:

Spotted a DR1 in the most unlikely place - a Nazi German kitchen in Hogan's Heroes, "The Tower", season 2 episode 27, 3/17/67.

That's crazy! I wonder how many (if any) ended up in in that area during the Nazi era?

I doubt many at all. It it just seems like a weird prop to pull out. It looked to be in less than stellar condition as well. Maybe an inside joke or something

From "Product placement in Hollywood films" book, "General Electric led the way in the production of extravagant ad shorts. In 1935, it premiered its Technicolor production Three Women with Hollywood star Johnny Mack Brown and GE household appliances, said Business Week. Produced by Sound Pictures, Inc., Three Women was said not to be just a technical recitation of the sales arguments for GE's electric kitchen but also, "it's a full fledged movie, complete with love plot and sufficient human interest." GE hoped to attract 15 million people to see it - not an idle hope based on the success the company had with two previous ad shorts, Just Around the corner with Bette Davis and Warren William and What are you going to do tonight? starring Walter O'Keefe...General Electric was said to be the only advertiser to use big name Hollywood stars. www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/561705/Three-Women/

I’ve only seen a small clip of that before. Very neat to see the whole thing. Thanks for sharing it!

That wasn’t only a treat for the flat top enthusiasts, I’ve always loved those two door models. That was also a treat for soul music enthusiasts! Thank you for sharing that! I only knew one song from rose Royce and that was car wash. This song is much better!

Car wash was the one that brought them to fame and got all the air play, but yes, I agree this song is much better. It was nice to see the flat top being used as an everyday fridge in 'modern' times, although it would now be about 40 years ago.

I found this great kitchen shot while watching "Singing in the Rain" a few months ago. Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds. It was her breakthrough movie. Note the D series fridge appears to be missing its control. Obviously it is a prop at the filming of this movie in 1952. In addition to the beautiful GE Monitor Top, notice the gas stove. It is a late 1920s Reliable 8-burner, 2 ovens plus a broiler. Made by American Stove Company, the Reliable Stoves were improved and reissued under the Magic Chef name. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu6--WBPBHo

You can see an "area" where the control would have gone, like they painted over a crusty area after the control got broken off during a prop move.
