**Taboo-breaking episodes**

- “Captain Jack”, an early episode of _Leave It to Beaver_ shoes a toilet for the first time on TV (only the tank, the censors wouldn’t allow the whole toilet to be shown and the ensuing delay in approving it resulted in the episode missing being the pilot)

3. “Homeward Bound,” S6:E7 of _Roseanne:_ DJ has been spending quite a bit of time in the bathroom, and he’s “that age,” so the family pieces together what he’s been doing. It wasn’t the first show to openly discuss masturbation – that would have been an episode of _Seinfeld_ three years earlier – but this episode actually used The M-Word and didn’t dance around it, like _Seinfeld_ did.
