How come theres never a queue for the Turbo Lift on the Bridge ?

Oh? I meant that as sufficient proof that urination is outdated in the Trek era! :p

If we're going to go by the "proof" that they haven't shown it, therefore nobody urinates or deficates in the future, then we have nearly 100% of all of the TV shows in history showing the same proof in their shows. By that reasoning, nobody did it in The Waltons, Brady Bunch, Growing Pains, All in the Family, I Love Lucy, How I Met Your Mother, WKRP in Cincinnati, Taxi, Cheers....

I must set the record straight here: All in the Family made TV history by making the "terlet" flush a running gag. I also remember an episode where Ma was looking for Archie and Mike said "He went upstairs and I think he's going to be awhile...he took the Daily News with him".

The toilet actually got third billing on Married With Children...

Thank Goodness no one in The Waltons ever used the bathroom, one could imagine with all those folks living in the same house (Especially later seasons) there was always be an hour long or more wait
 
Considering the setting for the Waltons. Both the era and it being out in the country would mandate outdoor plumbing. Loads of fun during the wintertime treking out to the outhouse.
 
At night it would have been chamber pots. [/gratitude for modern plumbing]
