“Remember when Lucy & Ricky, Rob & Laura, etc., even though married, had to sleep in twin bed?”

If I am not mistaken, back in the day, a toilet bowl was an item not to be shown on TV.

If I am not mistaken, back in the day, a toilet bowl was an item not to be shown on TV.

I recall watching an episode of Archie Bunker back when it was originally being broadcast.

Phone rings. Edith answers. Archie is in his chair watching TV.

'Archie, it's for you.'

Archie takes the phone, finds out who is ... hands the phone to Edith and tells her to hold onto it. Archie take off, literally running up the stairs.

Scene, Edith standing there holding the phone.

Edith still standing there.

Moments pass. Silence. Moments more pass.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.


Then, FLUSH!

I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. That was the first 'televised' sound of a toilet flush on Network TV.
