***I meant on a regular basis that family pictures were not shown on the
walls or featured in any kind of prominent place where viewers could easily see
them each week. Yeah, for a special show, every now and then, a series might
pull out a photograph. But it's not the usual thing. Not then and not now.
The only exception that I recall is that show which starred the Olsen twins
(and for the life of me I cannot think of its title just now) but I do remember
seeing photographs of the kids on the mantle or somewhere else in the living
room.***
That's what I meant too. On "Leave It to Beaver," in additon to the finale,
there's a pic of a much younger Beaver and Wally that sits on their dresser,
and on "M*A*S*H," there's a framed photo of Colonel Potter's wife that can
almost always seen on his desk. (I'm told that's actually a photo of Spring
Byington, Harry Morgan's previous co-star on "December Bride.") In the later
years of "All in the Family" a framed photo of the Bunkers can be seen,
showing Gloria with her curly hair. But otherwise, you're right, those are
exceptions.
But speaking of one-timers, anyone remember when we saw some rare photographic
glimpses of young Andy and Young Barney?
