They're anticipated, but sometimes dreaded. They can be just what a show needs, or a ratings killer. They can unite or divide audiences. What has this much power in television? TV babies.

Jim and Pam on 'The Office' are just the latest fictional couple to welcome a baby into their wacky fold in tonight's special one-hour episode (9PM ET, NBC). To commemorate the occasion, we're taking a walk around the virtual nursery, looking back at some of TV's most anticipated -- for both good and bad reasons -- babies.

One of the great things about the web is now we don't have to just tell you about a great episode from a TV series and hope you own it on DVD or that it shows up on TV at some point, we can actually show you the episode as well. Video after the jump!

This is an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents from November, 1958 titled "Man with a Problem." It stars someone who would later go on to one of the great sitcoms, Elizabeth Montgomery, as well as Peter Mark Richman (who has been in everything) and Gary Merrill, who is the man with the problem in question.

Hey, so do I, and I didn't even protest anything.

A Salem, MA man who was arrested three years ago while protesting a statue put up by TV Land in honor of Elizabeth Montgomery and the classic show Bewitched is suing the Witch City for $1 million. He says his civil rights were violated, he was roughed up by two cops, and that the whole arrest was unnecessary. The man, Richard Sorrell, was protesting the placement of the statue, across the street from where several people died in the witch trials. The trial started yesterday. The police disagree with Sorrell and say that he was treated professionally. They also say that Sorrell actually elbowed and knocked down people during the protest.

This was actually a debate that was going on at the time, whether or not the town should let TV Land put the statue in Salem. The town heard arguments of various citizens for and against the statue and ultimately decided to erect the statue.

I know, the name probably doesn't ring a bell, but you'll certainly remember the role she's famous for. Rogers played Louise Tate, Larry Tate's wife on Bewitched. She died on July 6 in L.A. following a stroke.

Tate had a lot of television roles over the years, on many shows including Perry Mason, Adam-12, Maverick, Wanted: Dead or Alive, and 77 Sunset Strip. Here's something I didn't know though: she was the wife strangled in the classic Alfred Hitchcock film Strangers on a Train! She played the role under the name Laura Elliott.

On a side note, did Louise know how much of a drinking problem her husband Larry had? I mean, seriously. You watch Bewitched, and he always has a drink in his hand, whether it's at Samantha and Darrin's house, at a restaurant, or when he's smoozing a client for his ad agency. Forget that "Hi Bob" drinking game for Bob Newhart. Watch Bewitched and take a shot everytime Larry drinks.

But those were the carefree days of the 60s, when drinking too much was cool and cigarettes weren't bad for you.
