Kaiser cars along with a Henry J that sports a Continental tire kit have appeared in various episodes through out the 4 sets of episodes (4 still in process of being shown for first time).  Also, according to the story line of THIS IS US Jack Pearson's father let Jack drive the family car (a Kaiser) in at least one episode of that long running series that ends this year.

You can also check out seasons one and two of the original SUPERMAN series from the 1950's.  Kaisers were just about first choice with the bad guys and even the police in the 1952-52 season.  Also look for interior shots and other effects (like Superman breaking through the "roof" of a 1952 Kaiser Manhattan) that used the process car Kaiser-Frazer's LA distributor made for movie and TV show production in Hollywood and the surrounding area.

I have been watching the series, but have not noticed Kaisers until now. Do you know season and episode for other KF sightings?

I have seen some of the Superman clips, and they are good. Have not seenThis is Us yet, but will check it out.
