Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills was a really bad Power Rangers rip off from the 90s. American takes on Super Sentai are endearingly cheesy, but what Power Rangers was to the Backstreet Boys, TTAFBH was to O-Town. I remember it was on later in the morning and you could only catch it on TV if you were home sick from school. I never saw this episode during the show's initial run, but wowzers! How on Earth did the show runners get this past TV censors?
The team figures out they are stuck in some sort of nightmare dimension, and to prove it, they test the hypothesis by imagining whatever it is they want to see. One of the guys devilishly leers at one of the female team members and "imagines" her jacket, shirt, and pants disappearing. And she ain't wearing no "costume underwear" underneath as our esteemed colleague Hal9000i derisively calls it. She's wearing a tight, dark blue bra and panty set like what comes out of the Victoria's Secret catalog. It's not played for laughs. It's played for T&A.
A lot of movies and shows in the 90s had a Jennifer Love Hewitt/Melissa Joan Hart/Tiffani Thiessen girl next door type, and they were always treated like chaste Madonnas with no more than a belly button peak ever happening. You just weren't seeing those girls in their underwear, let alone naked. And in this show, they literally take a 90s girl next door and strip her down to her bra and panty set with no apologies about it.
Right before the dude strips her, she has that nervous look on her face and even starts backing up. It's a submissive and sexy little detail. She goes from embarrassed to indignant throughout.
My only complaint is I would have also undressed the blonde team member who's super hot (last picture). But hey, if she shows up in my dream, I'll certainly "imagine" her down to whatever bra and panty set she has on under that purple outfit.
