A fairly interesting story on the day that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes (finally) welcomed a child.
In 1953, at the height of "I Love Lucy", the real Lucille gave birth to her first son on the same day that the TV series showed the episode of Lucy Ricardo giving birth to "little Ricky".
Fairly interesting stuff: The word "pregnant" was never uttered on the show since the producers felt it would be too controversial. And the show of little Ricky's birth was seen by 44 million viewers. I don't know what the population of the U.S. was back then (I'm too lazy to look it up but I know its 300 million now), but I bet that was a huge chunk of the population.

1953 population was approximately 161 million.
A very tasteful way to bring a pregnancy & baby into the world. Beats the heck out of TomKitten's arrival.
Just think, back then you couldn't use the word "pregnancy" on television because it was in bad taste. Today, Tom Cruise tells the media that he intends to eat the placenta and the umbilical cord. Kind of makes me wish for the good old days.
Tom and Katie's baby needs to be taken away from them. Scientology is not a religion. It fits every definition of a cult and no one in this world should be forced to be a part of it.
good points 10:50 - tasteful is the word - and using the imagination is still powerful.
Cruise and Katie? They will likely split in a year and a nanny will raise the baby, unless Scientology has folks who will do it.
who cares?
