I thought it was somewhat obvious, even Ninurta has seen similar things in other shows, so I thought I'd mention that this may relate to the McCarthy era and his war on communism.
Once the red scare died down, communism infiltrated U.S. culture, esp. in Hollywood. That's when things went from Mom and Dad married but sleeping in different beds to hippies and free love. It went from "the moral of the story is . . ." to nonsensical stream of consciousness freak outs that pushed the limits. It went from the extreme of not showing a woman's belly button, to near complete nudity.
But was the programming to blame for a cultural revolution, or the reverse?
