Come to think of it, I doubt that back when the “Golden Girls” were on the air, the FCC would have allowed them to have flashed anyone “the bird” without flashing the network a hefty fine.
So now I’m completely stumped. 
This sitcom predates the Golden Girls by 23yrs. “Can you get on that?” is the only piece of actual dialogue I can remember, from the whole series, simply because it was so outrageously funny. Except perhaps for: “Thank you Major Domo.” 
Wow! How did that get past the FCC? 
Then again, it may have been before the famed George Carlin “Seven Dirty Words” case that established the FCC’s power to regulate “indecent” material and established the notion of a “safe harbor” time (after 10 p.m.) when broadcasters could safely put on “indecent” material without fear. (BTW, FCC v. Pacifica Foundation is probably the only Supreme Court case that contains a transcript of a Carlin monologue. See the Appendix to the written decision. oyez.org/cases/1970-1979/1977/1977_77_528/ )

Was the show called Alice?
Shotgun? Black? Gold?
You don’t mean “Beverly Hillbillies,” do you?
And if that’s right, here’s a follow-up.
On which popular TV show did the producers/writers/performers sneak one past the censors with an attractive young woman – wearing a bald wig – saying, “This is the first time I’ve been balled on TV?”

WELL DONE YOUNG PHILIP
ARE WE JAMESONITES IN TUNE OR WHAT?
[size=85]probably not since I haven`t a titter of a clue about your question[/size]
Yes.
Might have been Rowan and Martin…? 
Saturady Night Live?
Hugh’s right; it was R&M’s “Laugh-In”

“Sock it to me!” :mrgreen:
Here’s another:
Which popular TV series had a hero who was both eponymous yet a man with no name (although he was not The Man with No Name)?
Clues: the show reputedly had the most killing schedule in TV history, and there is, bizarrely, a link between its nameless hero and the hotel from which “you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave…”
Hotel California
I`m just about to listen to the Eagles, to see what I can see
Would it be Arrested Development
Well, the first episode of “Dr. Who” aired the night Kennedy was killed. I’m really curious about the “Hotel California” link.
As for R&M’s “Laugh-in” - remember Richard Nixon’s “Sock it to me?!” Oh, and which “First Wife” got her start in a bikini on that show?
Ah! And one more: Who’s a link between “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and “Young Frankenstein”?
No, not Arrested Development.
The Eagles clue refers to someone who played alongside the band on a number of occasions; he’s the son of the actor who played the hero. Here’s a further clue; it was the first series on American TV to go to 90 minutes (75 plus commercials), and with over 250 episodes, it was no wonder its shooting schedule was known as a killer for actors and crew.
Oh, now I’m completely stumped! I tip my hat to you! 
The fugitive?
Nope, not The Fugitive. Although the two were contemporaneous, this drama had twice as many episodes (249 in fact, not 250) and lasted at least twice as long - nine years. But I seem to recall quite a lot of hat-tipping going on within each story…
I remember it because its first couple of series helped form my youthful opinion of what America and Americans were like… 
cest le Virginian Msieur Hugh
Le`D 
C’est “spot on”, Monsieur Le D!
I went through my youth thinking that somehow I must just have missed the episodes that told me what the Virginian’s real name was. But I hadn’t. In nine years he was always only “he”.
