Too many people can't tell fact from fiction, unfortunately. In real life June Cleaver would have been gulping Milltowns and the local Catholic priest would have been diddling the Beaver. "Mayberry" was a studio backlot in California, and Mt. Airy, NC (which Mayberry was based on) was most likely a sundowner town. You familiar with that term?
Neither one of those shows had any more of a relationship to reality than Star Trek
Steel made Pittsburgh and then wrecked it. We recovered on our own, thanks to some visionary local politicians (liberal Democrats back when that actually meant something), and we're better off without the steel industry.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.

The clues were everywhere. Husband/wife with separate twin beds. Bathrooms without toilets. June Cleaver dressed up and wearing pearls while preparing dinner in the kitchen. People always sitting at only 3 sides of a square dinner table. Etc.
A Servel. We had one just like it when I was a kid.
Except ours never worked right and my dad was constantly taking it apart and putting it back together again.
Hollywood is the Bullshit Industrial Complex, it's true, but nobody was supposed to watch that crap and think it was true to life.
At the risk of sounding like Captain Obvious, there's a huge problem with people believing what they see on TV and in movies, and then acting on those beliefs.

Very clever design using "absorption" principle to create cold from a heat source. No moving parts either if you don't consider gasses and liquids moving around by convection and gravity as "moving parts". Only needed a gas source like natural or propane so they were popular for summer homes wo electricity. They had a reputation for problems as you know, including death from carbon monoxide poisoning. I recall them being "outlawed" or restricted. Don't know if anything like it is made today. With advent of cheap solar and peltier effect coolers, I'd guess not.
the compressors don't last more than a few years.

I think the Servel was in the first house, the second newer house had all Built in GE appliances, refrigerator, oven, stove, washer dryer.
The rest of the house was all GE also, vacuum cleaner, television, console stereo, radio and record player in the boys room.
It was an Frigidaire and almost 20 years old. Bought it right after Katrina. The compressor had been making buzzing and groaning noises for months. We bought a counter depth that had to be ordered and took about a month to come in. My wife would talk to the old one every time it made noises telling it to "hang in there buddy, your replacement is on the way".
