A brief history of TV couples sleeping in the same bed

1. Green Acres - that was pretty spicy for 1967

Two TV side notes.
The Goldbergs was a radio and then TV show about a Jewish family that covered 1929 to 1956. Amazing that a Jewish family was featured at the time but maybe that’s just me.

There is no footage of the first Super Bowl except for hand held footage taken by the Sabel family operation. Film was expensive back then so only shows like Lucy were saved on it. Some upstart thing like the Super Bowl wasn’t deemed worth saving. Two networks showed it. NBC covered the AFL and CBS covered the NFL. There were two second half kick offs. NBC was in a commercial when the first kick off happened so NFL execs scrambled to have CBS cut to commercial so NBC could have a kick off. Rosell and others prayed there wasn’t a kickoff return vastly different than the first one let alone a TD. After the dust settled both networks zoomed in as close as possible so viewers couldn’t tell that the ball wasn’t in the same spot. No one seemed to notice and the game went on.
