This HBO talk reminds me that, years ago, HBO ran some original comedy series about a male character (real helpful, I know) which featured a fair deal of nudity. I don’t remember the exact context but he was some single yuppie professional type so of course they had to have a lot of sexual romps, etc. They made a point of filming a “clean” version of each nude scene so the show could be syndicated on network TV. I imagine they did the same for Sex & the City but this pre-dated that. Anyone remember what it was?

Edit: It was [Dream On](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_On_%28TV_series%29)
