The bathroom in the first apartment was shown in "The Audition"; the bathroom in the second apartment was shown in "Bonus Bucks." Neither bathroom had a toilet.

Don't forget the bathroom scene "outtake" with Jack Benny from the 1952 CBS special "Stars in the Eye."

Humans didn't need to answer a call of nature, in those days!

The Brady Bunch is well known for not having a toilet. And that was as late as the early '70's. I think the first sit-com to have one was All In The Family, because we could hear it flush, right before Archie came running down the stairs!

I always got a kick out hearing the toilet on All In the Family.

And it seems like Archie is the only one who used it.

I'm sure hearing that toilet was a shock to many viewers for we never heard one before. I sometimes cringe at the sights and language on on Two and a Half men.

I don't get the appeal of Two and a Half Men. I don't even think it's funny. Crude does not equal funny to me. That said, I guess the toilet flush on AITF was crude, too, but it makes me laugh.

I really have to say that the writer's of comedy back then had a much tougher job and still managed to be funny. They could not show a toilet, or hear a flush until the 70's, married couple slept in separate beds, there was no sex mentioned, and as someone said babies must have appeared by magic. I enjoy shows like Two and a Half Men but it is so much easier now to take the cheap way out that writer's back in Lucy's day never had.

You know, I never thought about how big of a challenge that must've been for them to work around. Things we just take for granted...
Good point!!!
