Line 185:
** Similarly, Gary Burghoff's withered left hand was concealed throughout ''M*A*S*H''.
** A more obvious example is when, in one episode, Hawkeye bets Trapper that he could walk around the camp naked and no one would notice. The scene runs like a blueprint for the ''Austin Powers'' examples.
* In the series premiere of ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'', a kidnapped USAF sergeant is stripped naked and evaluated as a Goa'uld host; she gets this treatment rather unsubtly as she's hauled all over the room. After she's rejected, {{spoiler|Daniel Jackson's wife}} is similarly appraised... and then this trope gets ''utterly averted''. Full frontal nudity is already extremely unusual in a scene filmed for American television, but the contrast with the first scene made it downright shocking in this case.<br />The production team have made it clear that they regret this scene (it was forced on them by [[Executive Meddling]]) -- it will be altered when they do a do-over of this episode, starting from scratch with the original footage. ''Stargate SG-1'' was originally aired on Showtime which allowed for the full-frontal nudity, which also appears in the DVD, but all airings of "Children of the Gods" on regular TV (mostly [[Sci Fi]] channel) have that bit (or those bits, if you prefer) edited out. Some broadcast in other countries don't, however.
* A non-naughty version occurs in the first couple of episodes of the fourth season of ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]''. Between season three and four, Jason Momoa got a tattoo on his left forearm and since the first episode of season four carried on directly from the end of the last episode of season three, he spent the episode first wearing a bandage on the arm (the character had been injured) and then a long sleeve coat. A few episodes later, we finally see him "acquire" the tattoo, eliminating the need for this trope.
* An episode of ''[[New Tricks]]'' has this with {{spoiler|a nudist chopping logs.}}
