They only played one rerun, and then nobody saw it again for decades.

Here's another TV episode that I've somewhat mis-remembered. That Girl, episode; Time for Arrest. Marlo Thomas fills in for her friend as a coat check girl at a sleazy club, and has to wear a skimpy leopard print costume. At the end of the episode, a party of mobsters gets into a fight, and Marlo hides inside a cake. For years, I thought that she popped OUT of the cake, and we saw her panties. Well, I was partially correct. The outfit she's wearing is impossibly short, so she's constantly tugging the hem down. We do see flashes of her panties throughout the episode, especially in one scene where she's crawling on the floor with her ass up in the air, but she never pops out of the cake. Couldn't find any panty shots, but the full episode is on YouTube if anyone wants to see it. Pretty risque for 1966, but really only worth watching if you're a Marlo Thomas fan.
