[QUOTE="Jimmy Todd, post: 329777, member: 3926"] Interesting point. The word "pregnant" couldn't be used, but there were other things that evaded three censors: Lucy refers to a dancer as a "Sexy Cuban girl." I'm surprised "sexy" was allowed A funny elderly lady named Minnie asks Lucy if her last name is "Kinsey" when Lucy says she's taking a poll. Lucy pretends she's a masseuse for John Wayne in a racy scene (for the 1950s). Ethel makes a joke about how Fred can "do anything in under ten seconds," which in the way it's presented seems full of innuendo. They were probably super cautious of the word "pregnant" because Lucy's pregnancy coincided with Ms. Ball's and was getting national publicity These other things were more "blink and you missed them." Interesting point. The word "pregnant" couldn't be used, but there were other things that evaded three censors: Lucy refers to a dancer as a "Sexy Cuban girl." I'm surprised "sexy" was allowed A funny elderly lady named Minnie asks Lucy if her last name is "Kinsey" when Lucy says she's taking a poll. Lucy pretends she's a masseuse for John Wayne in a racy scene (for the 1950s). Ethel makes a joke about how Fred can "do anything in under ten seconds," which in the way it's presented seems full of innuendo. They were probably super cautious of the word "pregnant" because Lucy's pregnancy coincided with Ms. Ball's and was getting national publicity These other things were more "blink and you missed them."
