Subject: First braless actress in TV series?
Organization: Johns Hopkins University/APL
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 92 21:38:45 GMT

I once read (sometime in the 70's) an article (can't remember the source) which
praised Marlo Thomas for being the first liberated TV series star to regularly
go braless (I guess that was supposed to be proof of a liberated attitude). At
any rate, I remember that she used to wear lots of loose clothing so if she 
was braless it definitely wasn't real obvious but then, I only saw some of the
THAT GIRL shows..

Anyway, I accidentally came across an old BEWITCHED episode yesterday from
1969 which openned with a scene showing a very definitely braless Elizabeth 
Montgomery wearing a clinging silk blouse. It was an episode about the Loch 
Ness monster.

I'm sure that the exhibitionistic Farrah Fawcett (CHARLIES ANGELS) and the 
more natural and easy-going Lindsay Wagner (BIONIC WOMAN) were later braless
stars of the early 70's.

Can anybody confirm the info about Marlo Thomas, or provide other details?

I seemed to recall a few notes to the song from the movie which

"He's the man..The six million dollar man...

I'm glad this subject has come up.  For many years, I thought I

	Might I suggest that you pick up a copy of Encyclopedia of
Animated Cartoons by Jeff Lenburg.  It's $40, but worth it if you
REALLY want the info.  The book gets Whole Toon Access' highest 
recommendation, and covers everything from the silents to the Simpsons.
I've never seen it in a bookstore, but you can get it from WTA:

I too thought this was a hilarious show.  I laughed all the way through.
 The background cameramen were funny too.  It's a very humorous show
that unfortunately will probably not last very long--space has to made

Jeff and Ginger are definitely engaged, and have been going through the
Catholic pre-marriage counseling & classes.  That's when Jeff first found
out his mother Anne was going to marry Al -- Anne & Al showed up at the

Monday I watched the rerun of the cow-flinging episode (and enjoyed it
more than the first time) At one point -- and I can't remember which -- they 
played a short solo piano theme that I remember as also being used in
other episodes.  It's very quiet and contemplative, except that it stops and 
starts over several times in the first couple of bars.  They generally play it 
as background in a quiet scene where a character suddenly gets a big, and not 
altogether welcome, revelation.  If I've described it well enough for anybody 
to recognize, does anybody know what it's called, or who it's by?  Or is
it original incidental music?  Any way to obtain it?

Actually, I knew she was really just a figurehead.  I wasn't being

sold, MTM started going downhill.  But perhaps you are right:  Maybe
it was Grant Tinker's departure a few years earlier that really did it.

whether the documentary 'Damned in the USA' can be shown in the USA.

Anti-pornography crusader Donald Wildmon, who was interviered for the 
69 minute documentary, is suing the filmmakers, claiming they agreed not
to show the film here.  Paul Yule, the film's producer and director says no 
such deal was struck.

Any ideas as to how long this is going to take before a ruling is passed

 I agree 100% .. it was especially bad during the scene where the cops

Letterman is supposedly looking at going to ABC, not FOX.  There was a
short article mentioning this in the latest TV Guide and FOX said that
while they'd be glad to talk to Dave no one has actually approached
them about it.

ABC though is having problems because Ted Koppel does not want
anything on before Nightline, as most stations already preempt it and
show it late as it is.

   Does anyone have any information about a new tv series called
"Homicide" being produced by Barry Levinson's Baltimore Pictures?

   Is it another `reality' based show or a real series?
