Never understood why married couples had separate beds in movies and tv.

That would be the Hays code. Movies weren’t censored, originally, but you knew sooner or later the blue-hairs would take all the fun out of them. I remember reading that under the code, a couple could be shown in bed together so long as each had one foot on the floor. The Hays code was eventually replaced with the MPAA rating system.

And of course, if something tacky was disallowed in the flicks, it sure as HELL wouldn’t make it to television without a fight.

I have seen movie made in the 30s and 40 where there is a bedroom scene where one character(usually the woman) is in a large bed, but the other character(usually the man) is either standing still or walking around the room. Never a scene with them in a large bed together. I wonder if the actors and actresses thought that it was ridiculous.
