I Love Lucy
Leave It to Beaver
Father Knows Best
The Honeymooners
********
Answer: The first toilet to appear on televison happened on the television series Leave It to Beaver. Showing bathrooms on television was taboo, but in one particular episode in 1957, Wally and Beaver secretly order a pet aligator and decide to hide it in the toilet tank. A lot of back and forth went into making this scene. The network refused to allow crews to film the toilet, while the producers insisted it was essential to the plot. Ultimately, the network agreed to go along with the scene as long as the characters didn't do their business in the restroom.

"Rich Girl" was the first number-one hit for which pop duo?
Air Supply
Hall & Oates
Wham!
Ashford & Simpson
********
Answer: "Rich Girl" is a song by the pop duo Daryl Hall & John Oates. The song became their first of six number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. The song, which is about a rich girl who can always rely on her rich father to get her out of trouble, is interesting because it wasn't actually written about a woman at all. In fact, the title character in the song is based on a spoiled heir to a fast-food chain who was an ex-boyfriend of Daryl Hall's girlfriend, Sara Allen. "But you can't write, "You're a rich boy" in a song, so I changed it to a girl," Hall told Rolling Stone.
