MUCH is made of the fact that married couples had to have separate beds in the days of early t.v. but i noticed LUKE and KATE share a bed ALTHOUGH the most we ever see is them sitting on it.

yes, and BOTH feet on the floor.
shareIn the opening episode of "I Love Lucy", which is shown occasionally, they have a double bed and are in it. I've heard that, in a number of early TV shows, they had a double bed; however, many of those shows aren't aired.
Why Lucy and Desi went from that double bed who knows? After all, they broke the taboo of pregnancy.

Ozzie & Harriet had twin beds on their series, and they were a real life married couple. Ah...the Irony!
shareozzie and harriet did share the same bed, at least later on. they were one of the bed breakers.
shareThanks for info on Ozzie and Harriet.
I must admit, by the time their show went off in 1966 (I was 14), I wasn't watching it. I had moved on to "The Rat Patrol" "I Spy", "The Time Tunnel" and of course "Star Trek".
I do remember that Joan and Jim Nash (Please Don't Eat the Daisies) shared a bed. That would have been the Fall of 1965 for their first season.
With Modern Family, we've certainly come a very long way from the days of Ozzie and Harriet.
Thanks again!
A lot of married people in the fifties had twin beds, I used my great-grandpa's after he died.
shareEven more interesting is that it seems Little Luke and Hassie shared the same bedroom! Guess they had to in that little farmhouse. One bedroom for Amos, one for Luke and Kate, and one for the kids.
shareMarried couples with twin beds was not a myth. My parents, who were married in 1953, had twin beds until 1967, when they got their first king-size bed.
