The Monkees S1Ep15 Too Many Girls (Davy & Fern) * Possible Spoilers*

[MustLoveBeagles]

I just got done watching this episode and noticed Fern's bikini was blurred out. I noticed that sequence also had some choppy editing. It's strange as I remember watching this in the early 80's as kid and I don't think it was censored then. The scene in question starts at 11:47.

&t=50s

Here's the uncensored scene for comparison. Honestly her bikini seems modest by even 60's standards.

1. Remember, Barbara Eden (I Dream of Jeannie) was forbidden by the network to show her navel.

You could not show toilets, you could not show a married couple with a double bed, and Elvis had to be filmed from the waist-up only.

2. This is true

Maybe I'm misremembering it but I just don't remember her bikini top being blurred out like that. In the unedited version her bikini top covered her boobs for the most part. I remember reading somewhere that the first time a married couple were shown in the same bed together was Mike & Carol in The Brady Bunch.
