@kittyminty - if you don't have many dishes to wash, I suppose it's O.K. I used to think it was unnecessary, too - until we got one. Now I wouldn't want to be without it! Mind you, back in 1954 I don't expect many households had a dishwasher. My parents didn't even have a fridge until much later than that.
@themaytagrepairman - Actually it was for the 1935 (not '39) General Electric dishwasher, shown in theaters that year. Do a Google search for "Bette Davis Dishwasher" and you'll find it.
I must be one of those few people who loves doing the dishes by hand.
I still have never used a dishwasher in my life, allthough I knew they already existed for a long time, it's just an appliance that doesn't give you much for your money.
a washingmachine is something I couldn't do without. Doing the dishes is 15 minutes of work, doing the laundry by hand is easily 3 houres of work.
@STEVEMOR909 Actually they've (electric dishwashers) been around since the 20's. Scan Youtube for a movie commercial for a dishwasher from 1939 by Bette Davis.
hey i have this episode! is it...music appreciation....i think? did a lot of people have dishwashers in the 50's? my mom claims, growing up in the 60's and 70's SHE was the dishwasher. that's what she tells me when i complain about emptying it. lol.

Why are brides supposed to wear white? ...So they'll match the other appliances.

@Barndancer61 I looked for it and can't find it. That I've got to see.

Bloody young. Unsure why it's surprising, but whatever. :)

I wonder if the Nelsons ever invited Happy Hotpoint over to play cards?
