Which actor and actress are generally considered to be the first of each to be nude on American tv? Name either or both.

Both occured in 1973.

Actor--Gary Burghoff as "Radar" O'Reilly on the tv show MASH. The episode was named "rhe Sniper". Radar was running towards the shower tent to avoid sniper fire, with only a towel wrapped around the lower half of his body. As he enters the tent the towel falls off and he is completelty naked from behind, except for his feet.

Actress--Valerie Perrine in a PBS show named "Steambath". Apparently you see her naked from behind, and her breast from the side.
Go to approximately 5:45 of this video if you want to view it.

I tried to research the first use of the N-word on network tv. There's not much out there about it, however as expected it's believed to be All in the Family. Specifically, the famous episode with Sammy Davis Jr. in which the Candyman himself utters the word. So, my question is which show is considered to be the second to have used the N-word on network tv. I'm not including news programs or documentaries. I have an answer, but I'm open to revising it if someone has better information.

Answer: Sanford and Son.
