Can you guess which TV show did it first?

From the first TV birth to the first TV death, these classic shows decided to boldly go there.

 
From the very first sitcom, TV writers have fought the good fight to cross boundaries and depict reality as we know it on the small screen.

This effort spans everything from the benign act of convincing execs to show a toilet on TV to the very first show to feature a married couple sharing a bed. These were edgy concepts in the early days of TV, but the boldest TV innovators didn't allow that to stand in their way.

Here, we've collected a fistful of famous TV firsts to see if you can guess which shows decided to boldly go where no other show had gone before. We've also sprinkled in some general TV trivia, too. 

Only the most dedicated TV fans can score 8/10. Good luck!

1999 was the year we heard the first scripted curse word on TV? Archie Bunker was cursing left and right when he made his 1971 debut. And just recently, I heard an early episode of The Big Valley crudely refer to Heath as an illegitimate son.
