The standards of nudity for 70s TV certainly did not have in mind Digital playback capabilities.

Not in HD, unfortunately.
The show got the bluray treatment a few years ago.
Loved the show when I was a kid, I’m pretty sure I started puberty a few years early because of Erin Gray and Pamela Hensley.

Yeah, that period did seem to be a dark time for TV SciFi. Only other show I can immediately think of without Googling is Battlestar Galactica and that was only 1 season. (We don’t talk about Galactica 1980, right?)

Markie Post running braless in those flimsy skimpy skintight outfits. I've forgotten what TV of 1979 was like.

Many episodes in, the resolution or remastering is still quite impressive.

You forgot about topless women in Clash of the Titans (1981).

That was rated PG.

Think of all of the violence and other bullshit that can be crammed into a movie that is rated for kids to see today, but flash a nipple and "Mothers Against Anything Fun" lose their freakin' minds.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Oh ? Care to share a screen shot ?

* ETA *

Original opening -- what in the actual hell ?? OMG, I don't think that was played more than once, or if it ever made it to air. I don't remember any of that, and as a teenager, that opening was clearly made for me !

I just remember the shorter version, w/ the time tunnel effect and the more ' Loveboat ' style of showing the cast of characters. Man, Erin Gray was smoke.

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

I'm just a red pill guy in a room full of blue pill addicts.

The original opening was for the theatrical version of the pilot, which was released in theatres months before the series premiered.

Seems a bit weird, but then, the 70's were weird AF.

And I can certainly see the James Bond type of vibe they were going for, though those girls were usually silhouettes, as I recall, and not the actual characters from the show.

Imagine the women of Firefly posing like that, in the opening credits...
