Why Don't I Remember "The Mothers In Law"?

Why don't I remember a single scene of The Mothers in Law?

Granted, the only cute guy in the cast, Jerry Fogel, never takes his shirt off, but no on on tv in the 1960s did.

Granted, it ired from 1967 to 1969, when I was only six to eight years old, but I remember a lot of other tv shows of the era, like The Invaders, Lost in Space, The Beverly Hillbillies, Bewitched, Star Trek -- a dozen or more.

Granted, it aired on Sunday nights, when I was usually in church, but if I wasn't feeling well, or Mom or Dad wasn't feeling well, I stayed home.  And I remember a number of episodes of the lead-in series, The Wonderful World of Disney.

It seems to be a culture-clash comedy.  The ritzy, snooty New York WASP Eve (Eve Arden, then known primarily as the man-hungry teacher Our Miss Brooks) and aggressive, big-mouthed Italian Kaye (big-mouthed comedian Kaye Ballard) have lived next door to each other for twenty years, sniping at each other and complaining incessantly. 

Then their children, Jerry and Suzie (Jerry Fogel, Deborah Walley) marry, and the duo settle down to a Lucy-and-Ethel friendship, complete with moneymaking schemes, disguises, and talent show performances.  It's basically I Love Lucy with kids around to say "Mom, stay out of this!"

Even if Mom and Dad had watched, I wouldn't have found anything of interest in that.

I had no itdea that Eve Arden and Kaye Ballard were gay icons.

Or that in the second season,gay actor Richard Deacon took over as one of the husbands, but of course I had no idea that he was gay.

Or that the son, Jerry Fogel, was the subject of gay rumors (he was actually married to women multiple times).

Or that the  bisexual Desi Arnaz appears in several episodes as a flamboyant bullfighter who casts them in movies and such.

Or that his son, teen idol Desi Arnaz Jr., appears in one episode.

Or that most of 1960s gay Hollywood would drop in, including Paul Lynde, Alice Ghostly, and Mary Jane Croft.
