THE SLEUTHSAYER
After losing his virginity on the classic sitcom Soap, a young Billy Crystal exclaimed:
"I'm so excited... It's like discovering America, or a third arm or something
... This is the greatest thing that ever happened to me. I should have started
this ten years ago.. .1 mean, the hell with television!"
Yours truly felt similarly after discovering Sleuthdom, but disagrees that television
deserves eternal damnation. In fact, the most eternal aspect of the boob tube
seems to be its perpetual proclivity for providing pictorial pulchritude! Hell,
this is our fourth "Tele•Visions" issue, and seventh edition overall
devoted exclusively to the wonders of the small screen. Guess the Devil made us
do it...
This also represents the 25th issue since our immaculate inception in '85'—the
Silver Anniversary Sleuth—and we couldn't have hit the quarter-century mark
without the loyal support and encouragement of our devoted readers. These buds
are for you .
"Nudity? Nudity? What's wrong with nudity," the late star of Chico and
the Man once remarked. "Beneath our clothes we all stand naked." Who
are we to argue with such a Prime of a fedow. . and so we stand Freddie, willing
and able to prove his point with four dozen of our most tempting "tele•visions."
As our fortieth entrant, Marie-France Pisier {page 78} said in explaining why
her Scruples precluded posing for a Playboy pictorial: "On the screen they
see you only for a second and then the image is gone. But if your picture is in
a magazine they can stare at it for a long time and think their thoughts, and
I don't like this." Now you're getting the picture...
As usual, mambos Mae West put it best: "It is better to be looked over than
overlooked'=and we trust we haven't overlooked any of your favorites in this compendium
of network nudes. Particularly since this marks our flagship 25th Anniversary
issue, we've endeavored to leave no stern untoned
Here's to the Next 25!
