D’Oh! A Correction:

Todd Bridges!

Regarding The Fuller Brush Company, they do still exist today. According to their Wikipedia page, “The Fuller Brush Company sells branded and private label products for personal care as well as commercial and household cleaning. It was founded in 1906 by Alfred Fuller. Consolidated Foods, now Sara Lee Corporation, acquired Fuller Brush in 1968. In 1991 the company was placed in private ownership but, in 1994, it became a subsidiary of CPAC Inc.,[2] which from 2007 – 2012 was owned by the private equity group Buckingham Capital Partners.[1] From December 2012 thru Dec 2017, the Fuller Brush Company was owned and operated by David Sabin and Victory Park Capital. From January 2018 the Fuller Brush is owned and operated by Galaxy Brush LLC, located in Lakewood, New Jersey.”

Here are 2 stills from S7 E1 right after Edna’s Edibles burned down. Note the pennant on the left side of the screen. The New Yorker poster is to the far left of this. James is absolutely correct that this poster has followed Blair for a good chunk of the series.
Prompted Applause For Guest Stars?
The episode of Roseanne I mention where Patsy & Edina pop in. Their entrance happens @ 6:28… What do you think? Did the audience know they were going to appear? Or was it a surprise?
