Those fifties and sixties sitcoms, even the children’s cartoons, are filled with adult double entendres. No harm I guess, the kids had no clue at the time. I know I didn’t. I do recall my parents getting a giggle out of things that I didn’t think were funny, though.

Buckley: “Now listen, you queer, stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I’ll sock you in you goddamn face and you’ll stay plastered.”
