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.

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.
