Well, not quite.

Television in the 60's was comfortable with showing a woman in a slip-- even in a bra and slip...we saw this in an "I Dream of Jeannie" episode in the mid to late 60's.

So the real breakthrough was really showing panties on TV.

In the 60's we did see an occasional shot of a long line girdle on a TV show. Perhaps even a partial glimpse of the waistband of panty...but TV was reluctant to show full on panties. You did see bloomers and such that were SUPPOSED to be panties-- "Star Trek" comes to mind, but I feel this doesn't quite count...

In the 70's, TV did start to loosen up along these lines-- "Three's Company" kinda sorta showed panties with shorty nightgowns, and you did see panties sometimes worn OVER pantyhose-- the implication being that there was still something underneath what you saw perhaps...

It wasn't until the late 80's that full on panty views were common in TV.

It was a little odd-- TV shows were hesitant to show panties, but if it was a movie shown on TV that contained such a scene, that seemed to be ok, even in the late 60's.

Sue Ane Langdon in The Wild Wild West
 

Ok, a while back we were discussing Sue Ane Langdon, something of a forgotten 1960's queen of cheesecake and EUF type scenes.

Here's something that perhaps stretches the standard definition of "EUF", but in the context of the show, I feel it qualifies.

The show is "The Wild Wild West". Season 1, episode 16 titled "The Night of the Steel Assassin" (1966).

In it, Sue Ane Langdon plays a prim, almost snooty highly educated woman. In the beginning, she wears a very proper Old West style dress that covers her from neck to shoes, complete with bustle! In the course of the episode she is kidnapped and hypnotized and put to work as an empty headed show girl in the villain's lair.

At the end of the episode, she is hypnotized again and restored to normal. She is outraged to find herself scantily clad, dressed as a "hussy" as she says, and proceeds to have an angry EUF moment.

Now to modern sensibilities, the show girl costume that the character is in is not such a big deal...but to a prim and proper lady of the 19th century, it would be like running around in her underwear...

Incidentally, some of the almost forgotten TV shows of the early to mid 60's were goldmines with respects to seeing attractive young ladies in various revealing outfits..."Burke's Law" and this show come immediately to mind..."Gilligan's Island" of course...

The first full on TV panty scene I can recall was from BJ and the Bear, a show that tried to cash in on the trucker craze of the late 1970's early 1980's. It was originally aimed at children, but was quickly retooled to appeal to horny teenagers with the addition of 7 female truckers...most notably Judy Landers. In the episode Beauty and the Beasts, the girls somehow end up in prison (similar to a Charlie's Angels episode that aired a bit earlier), and have to play a game of flag football against the guards. At one point in the game, Judy Landers has her shorts torn off, leaving her publically exposed in a pair of early 80's white nylon bikini panties. Not gigantic bloomers, or 1950's battleship armor, REAL panties that a girl would actually wear at the time. Even better, it was an EUF, and the scene ended with Landers covering her panty crotch with a football. It was a true milestone. This was actually one of the first scenes I searched for when I got online back in the mid 1990's. I never found a good quality version of it, though. Even today, this is the best I have.

Along similar lines; in the Frank Stallone (yes, Frank Stallone) movie; The Pink Chiquitas, the main female lead (Claudia Udy) plays a prim and proper nurse who is affected by the mind altering rays emanating from a strange meteorite that hits near a small midwestern town. All of the women in the town are turned into oversexed lingerie wearing zombies (or some such nonsense). The formally dowdy Udy spends the rest of the film prancing around in her underwear. Her character would have been mortified by this, if she had only been in her right mind. The best part is a long scene of her walking down the road, in broad daylight, clad only in her skimpy 1980's undies. Anyone have the clip?

Here's a few more caps from the BJ and the Bear scene. I can still remember how shiny those panties were. The long slow ending focusing on her embarrassed reaction, makes this the best television EUF until Amber Tamblyn's hallway scene in Joan of Arcadia. Does anyone have a good quality version of this scene? The show was released on video, and possibly on DVD, but it's nearly impossible to find.

Wow! great find. Judy Landers is a favorite of mine. I seem to remember an episode on "BJ" where she was kidnapped (lot of kidnapping in that show) and held in a room by some deranged guy or something-- wearing a baby doll nightgown. I'm fuzzy on the details.

I actually met Judy Landers once believe it or not-- it was in the late 80's in Phoenix...I was at a baseball game...spring training game...maybe minor league game...don't remember. Anyway, she was there as she was dating a baseball player on one of the teams. I passed her on the way to my seat, saw her, and said hello...told her I was a fan. She was very gracious and smiled and said thank you.

Anyway, these images are from "Madame's Place"...a great source of Judy Lander's material. And yes, that kid in the images is Corey Feldman in an early TV role. The source material I have is dreadful in quality. I ran it through an image enhancer but it's still pretty dodgy. I'd love to find a clean, high quality source for these episodes.

Another Judy Landers (and others) EUF/ENF/Panty scene from BJ and the Bear. There were a few more, as I recall. I tried to never miss an episode after that football one, but the show got cancelled pretty quickly.

Those blonde twins from BJ and the Bear have an EUF-ish scene in the completely forgotten comedy film; Chattanooga Choo Choo. In the scene, they play cheerleaders who are (knowingly) spied on while undressing. I have lusted after that gorgeous short haired brunette for the last four decades.

Adrienne Barbeau EUF (partially stripped and tied to a pole), from an episode of Fantasy Island. Bras have always been fair game on TV, and exposed tits were plentiful in the 70's and 80's. It's the panty scenes that are few and far between.

An absolutely amazing EUF scene from the TV show Baretta. A female prison guard is held hostage and stripped of her uniform...simply to humiliate her. The way her skirt is left around her ankles makes it more embarrassing, somehow. Even though she's wearing a full slip, this episode featured LOTS of upskirt (upslip) panty shots. Scenes of law enforcement personel being stripped are virtually non existent in western media. The fact that this scene was done on a prime-time television show in the 1970's is incredible.
