The claim seems never to have been made before the time DVD sales of       the series were beginning,        and I think they just made up a story of its being held up, so as to boost       publicity. The episode air dates and production numbers SEEM to back up the       story, until you note the others and see that MANY of them first aired out of       production order. Anyway,        TV commercials for at least a decade had been showing toilets quite       conspicuously, so the claim that network standards and practices had an       objection doesn't seem apt. However, someone on Quora suggested standards may       have been lower for commercials,        which I strongly doubt.        >        > So what I'm looking for is any examples of toilets from American TV PROGRAMS       in 1957 or earlier.        >        > Bob in Andover              Find Best Yellow Corn Products from Chinese Manufacturers and Suppliers China       Yellow Corn manufacturers - Select 2022 high quality wholesale yellow corn       suppliers at the best price.       https://importer.tradekey.com/yellow-corn-importer.html              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
