ok, I'll start. The first couple to sleep in the same bed together was the 2 stars of a show called "Mary Kay & Johnny" in 1950 But people complained, so in 1951 the FCC came out with the "Television Code" which was a set of rules that producers had to follow, that said things like, they couldn't show a married couple in the same bed.
The first show to break that rule was "Bewitched" in their pilot episode, in 1964.
