Ok, Here's a really IMPORTANT QUESTION!

When did the first on-camera toilet appear on TV? I was watching a Leave It To Beaver episode yesterday in which they showed Beaver and Wally in the bathroom. Everything was there except the toilet! I thought that this would be a good topic to respond to! I think the first one I ever saw was on All In the Family. How about you guys?

LOL! I personally have NO idea, whatsoever...BUT I can tell you that the Brady Bunch kids didn't have one either...((or am I imagining this? ))

Great topic, by the way....hehe

I know the first on-camera toilet flush (very controversial at the time) was on All in the Family. Not sure about the first direct appreaance of Mr. John was though

The first toilet WAS on Beaver. Don't ask which episode because I don't know, but I swear it's Beaver.

The first toilet shown on Beaver was the Captain Jack episode. You know the one with the aligator. I think that was the episode. It was a pretty big controversy back in the 50's. The actual episode got pushed back because of the controversy that would be surrounding a toilet on tv. *You can tell I'm a Beaver fan*

Yeah! Jenny to the rescue. I knew it was Beaver but I never knew which episode.

Beruche · 01-03-2002, 07:09 AM

If a toilet was shown on Beaver in the 50's why wasn't it shown on The Brady Bunch in the 70's?
