Remember the episode where the girls bring beer into the party they are at the apartment after Ann told them not to? That was deliberate disobedience. They were teenagers then, and Ann prefered to ground them then. However, I wonder if that particular incident called for a spanking.

bet the girls got a good spanking and a good grounding

Still think Ed used a belt?

yes i do do you? And do you still think Ann used a hairbrush?

I say Ed used his hand ALWAYS, and I say Ann either used her hand, a hairbrush, wooden spoon, etc.

wish we really new what they used

I remember most of those, especially the episode where she spanked Glen Scarpelli 1 single swat with him bent over, with a cutting board improvised as a paddle. He had been skipping school to play Pacman, and the whole episode was about school paddling.
IMHO, I think Ed spanked them with the belt, and Ann spanked on the panties with either her hand or a wooden implement, could have been hairbrush, but I think more likely a ruler. I think both spanked very hard.
Julie got the most spankings, I think, and but both got them just as hard.
I would like to have seen Ann spanking Barbara for her part in pranks on Julie, and with a hairbrush- then her sent to her room.

Why does everyone think Ed spanked with a belt?

And I bet Ann got her due from the Super (Pat Harrington) I remember watching a game show called Tattle Tale where Pat admitted to spanking his wife!

That's another stupid sitcom I'm proud to say I never watched
