PBS ran Monty Python in 1973 or so and nudity was not allowed on television but random sketches revealed boobs or they were featured in Terry Gilliam's animations. It was so brief that it barely registered.

I know, we would all comment in my 3rd grade class the next morning, or Monday morning, if it ran on the weekend. At about the same time, or at least, 1974, as I recall, PBS also ran another Brit TV show that had TOPLESS GIRLS DANCING, as I vividly recall. It was called, I believe "Is There A Doctor In The House", or something to that effect. It was shocking to see nudity on American TV, of ANY variety, let alone for a prolonged scene on a British television show. It was quite stimulating for a 10 year old, let me tell you... lol.. I had always thought the English to be very reserved prior to that. That idea went out with that one.. big time. Still, to this day, I wonder how they aired it here, on public television. Wouldn't the FCC have fined them heavily for doing so? It was like watching PORN - ON BROADCAST TELEVISION IN AMERICA, IN 1974 !!!

Original Message Here was my reply when someone asked for some suggestions to some TV shows from that era. I'm posting some suggestions for U.S. TV shows & including a couple from the UK, which had equally as wonderful shows. I will post some more of those, as well, hopefully. Please post your own favorite shows as well.

Don Rickles as "CPO SHARKEY" in the 80's, which was quite funny:

"ABC Sunday Night Movie" - 1977 through 1981. When you heard this theme, like Pavlov's dog salivating at the bell, you KNEW that a (probably good) "TV MOVIE" was about to come on. Some classics including "Brian's Song" was aired on there.

"JENNIFER SLEPT HERE"
About a dead, glamorous hollyweird star who haunts the house of a 14 year old guy but only he can see her
The series improved with age, had an adult type humor even though the protaganist was 14. Someone uploaded a bunch of them, starting with the first episode:

"The Champions" (1968) Interesting show which was on "ITC" British Television in the mid 1960's: About a group of 3 psychics who solve crimes/terror around the world

'THE TIME TUNNEL' (1966?) Irwin Allen's classic sci-fi time portal -

'JOHNNY CYPHER IN DIMENSION ZERO' (1960)
