The 2010 Emmy Awards rolled out a smashing array of today’s top (and occasionally topless) boob tube beauties. Join Mr. Skin now in looking back through the decades of nude tele-visions from previous eras: specifically 1980, 1990 and 2000.
1980
The big trophies went to Dallas for outstanding drama and Taxi for best comedy series.
Both those classics contain female cast members who have broadcast their bare bodies in other roles.
Among the Dallas divas who brought forth gushers by stripping on-screen are Victoria Principal (nude in the ultra-rare The Naked Ape), Linda Gray (who went full-frontal in a stage production of The Graduate), and Jenilee Harrison (you won’t be cursing as you dive into her topless bath in Curse III).
Taxi’s Marilu Henner flashes her bodacious front bumpers opposite Burt Reynolds in The Man Who Loved Women.

1990
L.A. Law won the Best Drama honor while Outstanding Comedy went to Cheers.
The ravishing barristers of L.A. Law who have gone raw include Susan Dey (this Partridge lets her pair free in First Love, Looker, and Echo Park), Amanda Donohoe (you can file a case on behalf of her a--da’s in 10 nude roles that include Castaway, The Rainbow and The Lair of the White Worm), and Veronica Cartwright (catch her hairy docket after she removes her briefs in Inserts).
Cheers’ naked double-fisters include the series two leading ladies, Shelley Long (order up her ass-flash in Hello Again) and Kirstie Alley (she rings up a topless bar tab in Blind Date).

2000
At the dawn of the 21st century, Emmys went to Outstanding Drama The West Wing and, for Outstanding Comedy, Will Grace.
The White House babes of The West Wing who have given us a tour of their Capitol domes include Allison Smith (skinny-dipping in Los Anos barbaros), Allison Janney (topless in Life During Wartime), Annabeth Gish (nakedly lezzing out with Paulina Porizkova in Knots), and deaf dish Marlee Matlin (nude in Two Shades of Blue, In Her Defense, and Hear No Evil).
Grace herself of Will Gracedeliciously demure-tittied Debra Messingbares her mini funbags in Jesus and (by accident) in The Wedding Date.
Got all those Emmy-caliber nudes? Good. Now it’s time for you to go polish your own trophy.
