Outer Limits - various episodes during seasons 1-3
Any others?
> Any others?
many TV shows have featured nudity.
The most memorable was the Superbowl footage.
The funniest (from a sneak it by the censors point of view) was the guy's
penis in the opening credits of Lonesome Dove.
You realize that this was when it was on Showtime not when it was a
syndicated show.
Rear nudity (male and female) is a regular thing on most of the
original prime-time shows on FX, as are cable edit-caliber sex scenes.
Way back in the early days of the late-night drama "Silk Stalkings"
(it was late here, anyway, as part of a group of shows that used to
run at 11:30 on the local CBS affiliate post-"CBS Late
Movie"/pre-jumping into the talk show pool) there were some scenes of
rear female nudity. I specifically remember an ep very early on where
a girl was going into the ocean skinny-dipping at night and they
showed her throwing off clothing as she ran towards the surf with a
pretty clear view of her full moon before she dove into the waves
(similar to the opening scene of "Jaws", actually).
Of course the pilot of "NYPD Blue" infamously showed Dennis Franz's
ass, getting the show dropped from many affiliates. The local channel
carried "Star Trek: the Next Generation" in that time slot for most of
the first season of "NYPD".
Before the FCC got all anal on broadcast channels after the Janet
Jackson titty show at the Super Bowl "CSI" was starting to get more
and more graphic with depictions of nude female corpses, both in situ
and on the slab, and actually showed a very brief unobstructed view of
the entire front of a woman in the morgue in one ep.
Same is true of THE OUTER LIMITS, which Troy also mentioned.
And POLTERGEIST: THE LEGACY, which he did not.
If one wants to count pay-cable networks, then there are a *lot*
of such shows. For broadcast and basic cable, it largely depends
on how much and what is exposed to be considered "nudity".
One of the few times I recall that a broadcast network series
featured a scene that today would get the FCC salivating was an
episode of CHICAGO HOPE from 10 years ago, plus or minus. A
young woman had one of her breasts reconstructed after a
mastectomy, and she exposed her breast to look at herself in
a mirror to see that she looked "normal" again. It was done
without any kind of fanfare, and it was surprising that CBS's
Standards & Practices had let it go on the air. But it did.
And I don't recall any controversy in its wake, either.

Many hundreds, and most of them are utter rubbish relying on cheap
soft-porn to gain viewer attention.
That episode aired recently on Discovery Health and the breast scene was
censored.

Actually CBS allowed one brief breast to be shown but not two.

Has everyone forgotten NYPD? It was standard that nudity was shown each
week...David Caruso, anyone:)
Caruso was a speck on NYPD Blue's map. Dennis Franz made the show and was
far more memorable in the 'nude scene' department.

Don't get me wrong, her end was fine. Still, Franz is the one that will be
remembered, just as Terry Bradshaw stole the film: 'Failure to Launch'.
I can remember a production of Zola's "Nana" from WNET/13, New York
that aired in the early 1970s. The title character stripped to the
buff in her theatre dressing room, shocking and delighting this then
high-schooler!
The series isn't listed on IMDB. Anyone else remember it? It may have
been from before the NET/PBS switch.

I remember "Oh Calcutta!" merely because one of the local tv newscasts
at the time, and it seemed more of an editorial and was done by someone
who was later a sportscaster so maybe it was in the sports news for
some reason. He told the story of an actor in the play who had a cold,
and had a problem because there was no place to keep a Kleenex when yuu've
got no clothes on.
Nudity was so much more potent back then, not just because we were young
but because society itself was changing.
Michael
Yep. (pause). So what's your point? (puzzled look)
.
From your cross-posting, I assume you're not limiting yourself to genre
shows.
So then "Deadwood" and "NYPD Blue" qualify.
So do reality shows like Fear Factor and Survivor and Cheaters, though
for broadcast, the nudity is fuzzed out by the film editors. (You can
purchase the "uncensored" DVDs of Cheaters in which you see everything.)
The BBC/Discovery Channel series "Walking with Cavemen" had actors
playing the roles of cavemen entirely in the nude. (Their lower private
parts were fuzzed out by the film editors in the American version, but
the British BBC version showed everything. For realism, they cast
"natural" actresses who evidently had never had boob jobs.)

Yep. My wife couldn't get to the theater fast enough for that one.

There was a science show on human sexuality, probably 7 years ago, that
featured thermal-image footage of full intercourse. The pixellation
and stylization actually added to the interest.

A few years back, the CBC also ran, though at midnight, a multi-part
series on the history of sex, which unfortunately didn't get much
publicity so I missed most of the episodes. There was certainly no
blurring there.
CTV here in Canada was running a sex show from one of the cable channels
though at midnight or 1am, for a few years. No blurring there, though
your thermal imaging bit sounds like the sort of thing they ran. It
was educational, but they had no problem about revealing bits if it
was there.
Of course, the first two were documentaries, the last was at least
educational. Yet it sounds like even that sort of thing would never play
on the big US networks without some blurring.
But, here in Montreal one of the French channels has a "Candid Camera"
style show, with the difference being the pranks are nudity based. It's
a pretty lousy show, as that sort of show can be, since it tends to
be repetitive, and they don't give us the full thread between the people
getting the prank and the reveal of the camera. But it runs at 9:30pm.
The same channel runs some of the Playboy type half hour shows most weeknights
at 11 or 11:30pm, and has run porn movies at midnight on Saturdays for
about twenty years.
The blurring of "mainstream" shows is often worse than the actual nudity,
because it tends to focus attention on the nudity, when without blurring
one might or might not pay attention.

And later, actually.

Ones I remember:
Season 1: "Valerie 23", "Caught in the Act"
Season 3: "Bits of Love", "Double Helix"
Season 4: "Lithia"
Season 5: "The Human Operators"
All or most of these can be found in the TOL "sampler" DVD titled
"Sex and Science Fiction".

I don't know what you mean by "full." But in the more recent Discovery
Channel documentary, "The Anatomy of Sex," they had a couple perform
intercourse in the missionary position while undergoing an MRI scan
together, and they showed the MRI scan of the vagina containing the penis.

On Survivor, Jenna Morasca got to see Richard Hatch naked, and she
reported that Richard Hatch is "not anatomically correct." So there
would have been a lot of curiosity to see what he looked like down
there, yes.
(My guess is that he has some congenital anatomical variant like an
undescended testicle or curved penis)

The Outer Limits episode "Caught in the Act" was full frontal nudity.
Something about a woman who has love affairs in order to absorb the life
energy from other men.

Full frontal? (checks) Nope. They didn't show Milano's pussy.

I think that was the one. And is there anything "fuller" than that?
Anything more than that is candles and frosting-flowers.
You sure it was an MRI? Because they couldn't possibly have fit into
and old-style MRI. And I distinctly remember them describing the
change in body heat accompanying arrousal.

I have that scene on tape. It's about Human dating and pair-bonding.
I think it was called "Different But Equal" but don't quote me on that.
And it shows these scenes:
- regular image of a female nipple becoming erect
- regular image of a female breast swelling in size
- a thermal image of a male penis going erect
- a thermal image of a woman's body becoming red with heat
- a thermal image of a vagina swelling with blood
- a thermal image of man on top of woman
- an internal camera of semen hitting the vaginal wall
- an internal camera of the woman's orgasm with the cochlea(?) spasming
& dipping into the pool of semen
- all of the above was without sound (no grunts or groans)
Now see THIS is what cable tv, since it's not fcc-regulated, should be
showing. Not only is it entertaining, but also educational. As a
freshman in college, I learned a lot from that show. ;-)

Cochlea? Oh dear Lord!
Does that mean "Family Guy" was right about "doin' it in the ear"?
It was not a pasty. It did not 'cover' the nipple, it just decorated the
nipple. You might be the only person in America that never saw the footage.
.
I was confusing it with the term "cloacae".
Proper term is cervix.
I saw the footage, it covered the nipple. You are completely wrong.
and how would you "decorate" a nipple without covering it by the way?
A pasty goes over the nipple and covers it so that you do not see the
nipple. What Janet had on was a piece of nipple jewelry. The point in the
center was nipple, not pasty. Various other parts of the nipple were
visible inbetween the 'flowered' lines of the jewelry piece. The nipple was
visible. An elaborate nipple ring is not a pasty.
Ok youre right I googled her nipple (is that legal?). The irony of your
post is that you concluded that I "never saw the footage" But I thought
it was a pasty because all I saw was the footage. I mean I saw it live,
not knowing it was coming, in a flash of 3 seconds on the air, on a 17
inch tv 15 feet away from me. So I saw something covering her nipple.
But when you bring up an image up close, freeze framed on your pc you
can see those details. If you noticed those details when you saw it
live you should donate your eyes to science (not now of course). So
what are you doing analyzing it like its the zapruder film anyway,
theres alot better pix on the net to "have fun" with ;)
My conclusion was based on the fact that it clearly wasn't a pasty.

Ah...I see. I saw it live too, but5 I have a bigger TV and I sit closer.

No point in donating my eyes to science. Big TV...sit close...tends not to
be good for the eyes.
> So what are you doing analyzing it like its the zapruder film anyway,
Honestly, I didn't think it was something that needed analysis. You may be
the only person in America that thought it was a pasty. A pasty wouldn't
get an FCC fine as witnessed by Diana Ross playing with Lil' Kim's pasty
covered breast at the Grammys.
Ahhh well I wasn't limiting myself (hence the inclusion of Showtime's
Outer Limits).
I enjoyed that program.
Watched it twice. ;-)
