Regurgitative prudery is a pain in the eyes and ears.

Hypocritical American stupidity on the part of TV programmers is a pain in the brain.

There are dozens of old shows, sitcoms, dramas, sitdramas, docudramas,

soaps, nighttime soaps, sitsoaps, docusoaps, and dramasoaps from about 1968 to circa

1980 that featured women running around with nature's faucets tracing a parabola in the air.

The original "Charlies Angels", which gets picked on by the historically clueless,

was actually the least of the offenders. "One Day At At A Time", "Alice", "Dynasty", "Falconcrest",

even "Hawaii Five-O", hah their share of titillating braless hussies trotting around.

"Vegas" was one of the worst of the lot, with one poor lady running around in a blouse

that had a decolletage that was so revealing that she would have actually looked

more demure naked... and she probably would have been more comfortable.

Long before "NYPD Blue" made buttocks the flavor of the month, so-called family shows,

like "James at 17" had female teens wandering around in outfits that left

no one unaware of which side of the poor dears's chests was the bigger one.

There were times in "Dallas" when Charlene Tilton was wearing so little that

Pia Zadora threatened to sue for plagiarism.

"All In The Family" had Sally Struthers caroming off the set walls with nothing

but a t-shirt on. "Maude" had various members of the clan running around without

restraint, including Adrianne Barbeau. "Soap" had most of the female cast

either displaying their navels through their necklines or drawing mandalas in the air

with ersatz styli.

But now it's a problem.

Pleh.
