So when were navels officially allowed on TV? |
|
In the late 1960s, censors disallowed Star Trek from having the women showing their navels. (though I think one slipped by in one of the third season stories...)
By 1978, Princess Ardala of "Buck Rogers" got to show hers on every occasion possible.
TV historians, do you know the date when the censors finally gave in and allowed the benign hole to be shown?

2. "I Dream of Jeannie" is a strange case |
|
In most episodes, Barbara Eden wears little more than her revealing "Jeannie" costume. Strangely, the censors allowed her to be depicted living in a house with an unmarried man, but would not permit Eden's navel to be seen. The makers of the series were also presented with the situation of filming around Eden's real-life pregnancy during the pilot season, without writing it into the storyline. Instead she wore many veils to hide her stomach and as her pregnancy progressed they began to use body doubles and film Eden only above the waist.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Dream_of_Jeannie

Laugh-In. And the navel was Goldie Hawn's.
