   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.
