Check out this hilarious stage design and how the TV steps push out and the bleachers come forward. This is from a 1958-59 Saturday Night Beech-nut Show. It was sponsored by Beech-nut gum and obviously gave out free samples. The "IFIC" on the buttons is short for the Beech-nut slogan, which was "Beech-nut FLAVOR-IFIC gum." Notice the kid winking at 1:17.
