Mary Kay And Johnny (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Kay_and_Johnny) is best known today for its “firsts” — not only being this country’s first regularly scheduled network TV sitcom, but also for showing a couple in the same bed, likely for the first time in either the sitcom genre or any regularly scheduled series. Additionally, Mary Kay And Johnny predated I Love Lucy by four years in showcasing the first pregnant woman on a TV series, as the starring couple’s real-life blessed event was written into the action, and baby Christopher Stearns made his debut on the show in January 1949.
