Odds and Ends from UK TV
 

Thought the members might like to see these two clips I capped from UK TV. One is Jello wrestling and the other is 3 naked girls getting ready to do a TV shot about nudism when one of them sits on a lighted candle! Hope thses are considered OK for this forum. If not Alex, please delete them, I will not be upset if you do.

Thanks Lesbograt.

No need to delete anything. I really enjoyed this post and the others you made recently. This is great stuff.

Keep up the good work.

It's a pleasure to post here
 

Thanks Alex, you are running a terrific site. Long may it continue!

Four clips from last nights TV
 

Four short clips in one file. Shower prank, pool show off, naked cyclist and nude hoop girls. All girls in all clips are 100% naked.

Vintage US TV stripping game with bare breasts
 

Saw this last night on UK TV, it was a program about old US TV shows. This stripping game show was called 'Razzle Dazzle' and featured lots of bare breasted female contestants. Didn't think bare tits were allowed on US TV. Any of you guy's out there know anything about this show?. It looks like a lot of fun!

Lesbograt, what channel from the UK are these shows shown on? I wonder if they show this on Direct TV or Satellite here in the US. These clips you have been posting have been great!

Legal back then
 

Wow, how strange that nudity was OK back then but taboo now. In the UK we have gone in the reverse direction, it was taboo but its allowed now. It seems amazing that in the USA, the worlds most powerful democracy, the few can suppress the wishes of the many.

The 'Razzle Dazzle' clip was broadcast on UK TV channel 3 (ITV) although my other clips come from many UK and mainland European channels I can receive via satellite.

Are you sure this sort of programming was legal on broadcast TV? The FCC has been around since 1934, and I don't think there were a lot of bare breasts on TV before then :D

The clip of this show reminds me of the old show cable program "Everything Goes" from the Playboy Channel in the early 1980's. And without knowing anything about "Razzle Dazzle," I'm going to say that this show was probably from cable TV. And if it's not, then I wasted a lot of time and energy in my reckless youth trying to watch cable Tv when broadcast was apparently just as good :)

There was no television before the FCC
 

Sorry ZigZig, but that is not true. The FCC predated commercial televion. In fact, it predated the first demonstration of television, which was just before World War II. As prudish as this country was about movies (The Hays Office), television was even more prudish in the early years.

Oh sure, they could slip in a boob now and again, but it had to be a boob in the scientific context (National Geographic style) or very high culture, or non-white (Roots showed a generous supply of Black boobs) or on PBS (The Six Wives of Henry VIII, or Elizabeth R, or I Claudius -- all BBC -- of Steambath) or pay cable. In the 1950s, Lucille Ball and her husband had to sleep in twin beds, and even though she was obviously pregnant, that word was not allowed, because one couldn't get pregnant without sex, and that didn't officially exist according to the FCC. Hell, Playtex had to advertise bras without showing them for tweny or thirty years.

Strip Golf _ Japanese Style
 

This clip brings together the two great passions of my life, golf and naked girls.

Lesbograt, that was excellent!

Weighing compeTITion
 

How much does a girls tities weigh? Well, this is one way to find out!

Nudity, US TV, and the FCC
 

One other crucial difference between US and Euro TV is that in the states, local TV stations tend to be independently owned and carry programming from their network during selected hours of the day. The rest of the day, stations are free to program what they want.
The hours when this type of jiggle programming would almost certainly run, the midnight to 6 AM block is owned by the affiliates. So this show would either have to be syndicated or locally-produced. In either case, it would require a lot of local sponsorship that simply isn't there at that late of an hour. From a station's POV, it's a whole lot easier to run infomercials or televangelists in these hours then sell advertising during a show that's more likely to generate controversy than viewers.
And even if one of the six networks put on a show with boobs-and-pubes, they would have a difficult time finding advertisers for it, not to mention that many affiliates would probably exercise their right to opt out of the networks programming.
It's something of a double standard when CSI Miami treats viewers to CGI special effect of maggots emerging from a stab wound, but CBS has to apologize for Janet's titty, but unless the entire network-affiliate structure of US TV changes anytime soon, you'll just have to import ENF clips from overseas.

Self regulated
 

I agree with the previous posters about the FCC and network TV and that Razzle was probably a early Playboy
Pay channel show.

Also wanted to add that showing nudity I dont believe was never illegal and the networks were self censoring.
The recent controversy about Miss Jackson was a result of the appropriateness of the action during a family broadcast. One benefit of the US TV ratings system is now as long as you warn people ahead of time you cant blame a network for content.

Yeah, that's the true kicker of this new ratings system: instead of stemming content from people who rather whine about it then use their V-chip (all TVs since 1999!), it's not given people carte blanche to air nearly anything they want because it has a warning. Granted, I don't see the big deal, most of the young people I know are well informed of swearing and what the opposite sex looks like.

Streaker
 

One of Britain's favorite sports - naked girl running. :D

!!!!!!!!!
 

The streaking clip was AWESOME! I've seen stills of this before, but never a full motion vid. The things that happen when a "natural" woman runs... ;) I assume you capped this, and if so, is there a way to make it better quality? There seems to be a lot of noise or distortion in the image.

Thanks again

Noise and Distortion
 

Thanks Fango

The clip posted is a bit fuzzy because DivX compression does not work well with fast moving women with flying titties! The codec relies on a lot of the pixels remaning the same between frames, the panning of the camara means the background is rapidly changing with each frame, hence the lower quality(significant improvement in quality would mean a much larger file size). However it depends what you mean by noise and distortion, if this is more than a slightly fuzzy image then you may have a problem with your player/codec. Check that you are running the DivX codec version 5.1.1 or later. Earlier versions will not run the clip correctly.

I managed to improve it a bit by deinterlacing it. It still looks a bit "swimmy", but... who cares? It's still a great clip.

Thanks again
