(How’s that for an attention grabber?)

Here’s a link to an episode of the UFO television series: [- YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6kuX4dGHYQ)

Am I seeing what I think I’m seeing at 39:59? Did that really get on television in the early 70’s?

I Zaprudered it, frame by frame, and feel confident saying that girl has a fine ass. There are hints of the top of a thong coming out, and maybe material of the same color covering her hoo-hah, but maybe not.

In conclusion, it was the '70s, man.

Looks like she’s wearing panties under flesh-colored pantyhose.

This show had many memorable costume designs that [almost crossed](http://digilander.libero.it/guido_1953/pics/shado-3/shado-ufo-girls-14.jpg) [the line](https://jameswquinn.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/ufo_20.jpg).

If she’s wearing panties, they’re made of cellophane. I see a lot of crack there.

I don’t know about the OP. But I’m pretty certain [Debralee Scott](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRXUHLDma-o) isn’t wearing a bra.

It’s a fascinating thing: Here we are, with access to infinite gigabytes of pornography, a large percentage of it gynecology-level explicit. It’s all just a Google search away. And how do we spend our time? Single-framing through TV shows to find that one tiny glimpse of nipple or hooha that may not even be there.

Ah. Eroticism. Boggles the mind, it does.

I don’t remember seeing THIS before:

[2nd season episode of M_A_S\*H](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2umHtlf_Ubo), Radar loses his towel running back into the showers; it sure looks like his butt. (at 8:00)

Nope. You’re not seeing what you think you’re seeing.  
I have watched it three times now and that is most definitely a mini_dress_, not a miniskirt.

At the Time stamp the OP gives it looks like he’s right but if you watch a few seconds later, as she comes back down, it looks like she is may be wearing flesh colored pantyhose.

Fwiw, that’s Benedict Cumberbatch’s mum in blue in the first scene.

Seriously, look into [Use Magnifier to make things on the screen easier to see - Microsoft Support](http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/make-screen-items-bigger-magnifier#1TC=windows-7) (or one suited to your OS). Mine works but didn’t really help solving this particular riddle…🙂

Saw the producers talk about this. They waited for the censors to demand a change, but nothing happened. It did air as is. Or Ass is if you prefer.

Well, I’ll be deep-fried in batter! Thanks, **Mahaloth**.

Since posting LAST NIGHT, the site has closed down 😕 ! If you want to see Radar’s butt in all its glory, access Season 2, Episode 10 - “The Sniper.” Don’t blink!

I’ve heard that shot referred to as being the very first nudity on US network TV\*!\*
