The 50's (and 60's for that matter) were heavily censored.
For example, Lucy had to get permission to be pregnant on TV, even though she really was in real life. She couldn't use the word "Pregnant" but had to say things like "With Child' or 'Expecting".
Toilets could not be shown or heard until All in The Family shattered that taboo (Notice the Bradys don't have a John?)
The song Wooly Bully was banned and thought to contain all sorts of offensive words (it's just gibberish)
The list is endless and still goes on to some extent today, though with the internet nothing is truly out of reach.
