I'm pretty much a TV junkie. First time I remember seeing anything to do with nudist on television was an episode of Charlie's Angels, after Farrah left. It was brief. The latest blonde had to get on a nude beach to question a guy who was giving a lecture on the danger of too much sun exposure. She was hidden strategicly with palm leaves. The next was an episode of Three's Company. Janet and Mrs. Roper went to the nude beach, it was raided, and they were hiding behind the bushes waiting for their clothes to be thrown to them. Don't remember anything between then until the mid to late 90s with an episode of Bevis and Butthead. They stumbled into a nudist club and froze. Stood there staring all day and part of the night. When everyone went away, they began their stupid giggling because they "saw naked people!". Only other nudism I remember on TV is That 70's Show in which Donna's parents were throwing a party and didn't invite the Foreman's. The Foreman's went anyway, opened the door to discover it was a nudist party. So basicly, only nudist or nudism I remember seeing on TV was for comedy reasons. I'd be worried if HBO or Showtime did a show around a nudist resort. They'd probably turn it into a sexfest for late night. Even if they were brave enough to show full frontal nudity of both men and women, they'd have to put it on late night. They'd probably find it difficult to find good actors willing to appear totally nude through the entire filming. There are current and former porn stars looking to do acting without the sex and they'd be willing but would that put a negative tone to the show that the actors are current or former porn stars? |

Another example of the triumph of blatant dogmatism over observed reality! Our nearest neighbour's two daughters have been naked most of their lives, and "have been so psychologically scarred" by their experience that they are completely different to the usual fat, white dull and opinionated Aussie kids - the two are REALLY great looking, very socially adaptable, and completing the 1st and 2nd years of Engineering and Biochemistry Ph.D's at Macquarie University, and University of NSW (Sydney) respectively. If we could extrapolate this level of academic (and social) excellence to a clothes free lifestyle, we could comfortably assert (on the basis of EVIDENCE not Dogma) that clothing should be severely restricted during the formative years - i.e. kids should be naked whenever (climatically) possible - seems to have worked just fine for the Athenian, Greek, Roman and Egyptian civilisations, all of whom actively encouraged public and social nudity.
I strongly feel another topic coming on - "Examples of Public Opinion re. the "Dangers" of Naturism, not supported by available evidence". Just have to get a few examples together, and we can all chip in on this one!

Thats awesome! But unfortunately today I don't think many judges would still feel that way.. They would say something stupid like it's endangering the child...
Blessed Be!!

In the 80's there was a show Divorce court with actors doing the cases in front of a real judge. One of the cases involved one of the parents liking to take the kids skinny dipping. The judge asked the kids in chambers if they liked to go skinny dipping and apparently they did so the judge said there was no problem with the parent continueing to take them skinny dipping. |

A couple of ones. ON an episode of RedGreen (a Canadian PBS version of Home Improvement (sort of) but so much funnier, they turned their meeting house area into a nudist "resort" and allowed a bunch of nudists to use it. Don't remember much else about the episode 'cept I was laughing so hard I was in tears. ('course, most of the shows are like that. Also, the movie "Welcome to Mooseport", the town had an older gentleman that was always nude. Even when the town was dressed for winter. He would be just jogging thru town saying hey to everyone nekkid, and no one really cared.
So remember...if the women don't find you handsome, they'll at least find you handy.-RedGreen

My daughter was watching a kids show the other day, the Suite Life of Zack & Cody or something. It's a show about these 2 rich teenagers who are living on board a cruise ship. One of the other kids was waiting on a package, but when it arrived, he realized his mom had sent him his sisters box, and vice versa. The kid was apparently waiting on some new pajamas, but got a girls nightgown instead. He said "oh well, looks like I'll have to sleep in the buff" to which the Zack & Cody characters both proclaimed "NOOOOO", then said "our room is a buff free zone". So like I said in another post, we can teach our kids nudity is okay all we'd like, but outside influences will have their impact as well.

On a smaller scale...There is show called "Rules of Engagement" on CBS. Its a comedy about 30 something couples. Anyway, on this weeks episode one couple told another in a conversation that they sleep naked. The husband of the other couple made a few comments, calling them "hippies" and such. Although it was meant to be more silly, than a moral stance, it still gave a negative implication.
At the end of the show the husband came into the room and took his robe off, saying something like "I'll try it Adam and Jens way" ( referring to sleeping naked)
A silly sitcom, but still a commentary on nudity as viewed by mainstream.

I saw a discussion on Bill Oreilly last night of a Reebok ad showing a nude couple (Chuck Liddell and Heidi Northcutt) working out. The heavily pixalated ad appeared to show nudity in a good light (pardon the pun). Of course Oreilly acted a little shocked and said Reebok would offend 60% of its customers. If I remember right, the discussion worked around to the notion that maybe the men would be OK with the ad, but not women. Juliett Huddy, who was on the show with him said in effect (and when she could get a word in edgewise) that it was a good marketing strategy and Bill might be surprised about how women would respond.
I think UTube may have already pulled the ad. I couldn't find it, although I admittedly don't know much about UTube.
If I had a tail, I'd wag it! |

Timing is everything. A few days ago SBS had another show about nudity, I think it was called "What's the problem with nudity?" I missed it and have been trying to review it via the website or download it but no success yet. If any other aussies out there saw it they may be able to update the board.

I was watching Jerry Springer today (guilty pleasure of mine, I LOVE that show), but a 40 year old guy was on today, from Florida, and he talked about how he and his girlfriend go to a nude beach together. Jerry was a bit taken back at this, and comments were made on the show by Jerry and the audience about how the guy, with a body like his, had no business going to a nude beach. I guess the general public's consensus is still that only the slim, beautiful people of the world should show off their bodies.

The last time I can recall a show about nudism on Australian TV it was on SBS (Special Broadcasting Service) in the time slot usually allocated sexual type programs, so some are enlightening but some are for titillation. The show was from the UK and was about Mr & MRS ordinary, who lived in the nude at home while there kids and visitors or the boyfriend of their daughter was clothed. It was a little odd in this context but the people were realistic in that they were ordinary people, a bit overweight, they were not models and did not have extraordinary bodies or endowments. That is about one show in 5+ years. the only time the commercial stations ever mention the topic is either to sensationalise an issue with nudists as nutters or to pump up the ratings. Very little, if anything, is positive. |

There was a pretty positive show on playboy TV, featuring The Terra Cotta Inn as well as Deep creek Hot Springs the other day. You wouldn't think on that channel they would paint the correct picture of nudism, but the show was surprisingly accurate.

They had an episode of CSI New York several years ago about models on a runway that were wearing only painted on swimsuits. I believe I heard that at least some of the people in the show were actualy wearing just the paint. I am not sure if you would count that as nudism or not. If interested it was the episode "Wasted" which was season 2 episode 12 of CSI New York. |

Well, this show was not what I thought. You didn't miss anything if you didn't get a chance to see it. I don't think it put nudity in any positive light. Any non-nudists would think that nudists were a bunch of wackos. |
