[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 329759, member: 7"] I was watching a documentary on Martin & Lewis this morning and they showed some clips of their COLGATE COMEDY HOUR series from the early-'50s. I was a little shocked that -- close to 70 years ago -- Jerry Lewis was shown shirtless on television. But then, I thought to myself, "Wait. Didn't Ricky appear shirtless on I LOVE LUCY too?" Yeah, he did. I know it's probably not a big deal to anyone else, especially considering what's shown on TV now. But I just find it quite interesting that men were allowed to appear shirtless on TV at practically the birth of the medium, but yet Lucy wasn't allowed to say she was "pregnant" because that was unsuitable for family audiences. What's the difference? [ATTACH type="full" width="386px"]38544[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
