Although Wally and Beaver's bathroom is the venue for many of the scenes in this episode, no sign of a toilet appears. TV networks were still loath to show a toilet or even mention toilets in 1960. The first time a toilet, albeit only the sound of it flushing, appears on TV occurs in All in the Family (1971). The water tank of Beaver and Wally's toilet does appear in season 1's episode Captain Jack (1957) as the two boys look for a hiding place for their pet alligator, but that is the only time any part of the toilet or any reference to a toilet occurs in the series, or anywhere, for that matter, on TV for at least another 10 years.
