One episode of ‘Leave it to Beaver’ was censored by the Federal Communications Commission when it showed a toilet. It is when Wally and the Beaver tried to keep a baby alligator in the tank behind the actual toilet bowl. Back then, it was unacceptable to show a toilet on a national TV. However, a compromise was made to show the tank but not the actual bowl. It is the first time that a toilet was seen in a US television. In 1997, the episode was ranked #42 on TV Guide’s 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time.
