I'm wracking my brains (and firing unsuccessful searches off into the wiki) but I can't answer this one. Do we have a trope not unlike Follow the Leader about TV shows that were the first to do something that became an unremarked common thing? The two examples I have in mind are: Bewitched was the first American show to depict a married couple sharing a double bed (instead of two singles), and All in the Family was the first to use a toilet flush sound effect. (I'd use the first to actually show a toilet -- still not done by the beginning of the 1970s -- but I don't know which one that was.)
