There were a lot of instances from when I was a kid. One of the earliest examples I can remember was some old shoe commercial from the early 80's. This guy comes on the screen and says something like "one of the most delicate parts of a woman is the foot" and then some lady whose off screen puts her stockinged foot in his hand while he blathers on about shoes. I only recall seeing that commercial once, but I was mesmerized.

Seeing Maggie Philbin demonstrate toe seperators on Swap Shop did it for me !

I toetally know whatchu mean about how seeing something on tv can heighten having a foot fetish. I remember when I was a little kid the first time I saw a womans foot on TV. I believe it was a nike commcercial, where they showed a females foot bare then it transitioned to her having a shoe. They did it a couple times.

As for nickeloldeon, they seem to show girls feet quite a bit whether it be hey arnold, iCarly or even Kenen and Kel.

This topic caught my interest right when I saw it simply because I can recall so many times when I saw women's feet being exposed on television..and I can agree with acedt saying how nickelodeon used to show feet a lot. Perfect example was Kenan and Kel.. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was the halloween special, I believe..when Kenan believed that this girl they knew was actually a real witch..and he and Kel went to great lengths trying to prove that she was. They like tripped her on the ground and Kenan and Kel both took her shoes off and started just like screwing around with her feet...meanwhile Kenan realized that the girl was actually just a normal person and he felt stupid afterwards lol..the girl had some nice feet from what I can still recall. I don't know if anybody remembers that episode but I sure do.

I remember another time I was sitting with family watching television and a commercial for Third Rock From the Sun came on..and like the main guy in the show (forgot his name..sorry I never watched the show really..although I heard it was pretty funny) was sucking Mary's toes on the couch or something I forget where they actually were..but the commercial was like a song and it went like "This girl's in love wit the seinfeld guy (newman)..and the head whatevers suckin on Mary's toesss!" I remember being like hahaha wow...never thought I'd see something like that in a commercial but that's great.

There are a lot more other feet related things I remember from television growing up..but the only other one that really stands out from them all took place on that old MTV show called "Dismissed"..where they would have two girls or guys go on a date with the person who had to make a decision on who they'd rather be with or whatever. Anyway, this one episode on that show was great..I don't know if you guys remember it but I don't know how I could ever forget it. This guy took out these two attractive ladies for some food or something..and the one girl used her "dismissal" card (both people dating the one person had one of these where they could use it against the other so that they could get some alone time for themselves with the decision-maker..hence the show's name). So the one girl used her dismissal card and the other girl had to leave them alone for whatever the time was (15-20 minutes? I don't know I forget exactly how much time). The girl and the guy were sitting down in some food place in like a booth. Both of them were seated on the same side and the girl had her legs over on the guy's lap..

Long story short after some brief, playful conversation..the guy didn't once hesitate in working his way down towards her feet. I remember almost perfectly..he was like "Ummm these legs.. (licks her leg by her calf area, I think)..would you like a lick wet?!..and then the guy is like slowly rubbing her leg down near her feet...then grabs her feet and goes "ummm (hungry noise) (girl is laughing the whole time, watching and letting this all happen) look at these toes...I think I could kiss them. You want me to get down on my knees and kiss them?! I really will...." and with that, he got down on his knee by the edge of the table and at first, lightly kissed the underside of her big toe. Then, as if it couldn't get any better..he shoves her big toe into his mouth and he starts to shrimp it up and down slowly..all the while the girl is just looking on laughing and looking surprised. This went on for atleast 10 seconds or so...they just showed him sucking her toe. During the show they'd have like a side interview with the girl or guy involved and they interviewed the girl who was getting her toes sucked afterward. When they aired the interview there was still the side box of the guy sucking her toe and she's like "When he put his lips near my feet..I was thinking to myself I hope my feet do not stink..and I hope that...they taste okay hahahaha!" That part turned me on so much that I remember going out of my way to tape it when it re-aired randomly one day. I remember rewinding and playing that part over and over and over again to the point where I thought my vcr was going to break lol..nevertheless I will never forget that.. I almost remembered it all in complete detail too, but I could have been slightly off with certain parts.

Anyway, point said...feet were always portrayed on television, atleast when I was growing up..and I believe that some of these things that aired on tv attributed to my fetish today. Anybody else remember any of this or is it just me? lol I would love to hear the feedback from all this.

Can anyone remember the name of the 3rd Rock from the Sun episode where Dick sucks Mary's toes???

I saw the mention of game shows. And while I recall seeing a lot of female feet on TV when I was young, for me in the 80's, it was the hope of seeing female barefoot contestants on The Price is Right. I started following the show around the Fall of 1980 in hopes of seeing this. I recall it finally happened for me in the Fall of 1981. This hippy looking chick named Vivian made it up on stage. What I remember is she had really long hair. So Bob got her to spin around to show the audience how long her hair was. As she turned, you could see it came down over her jeans-covered butt. Then all of a sudden Bob proclaimed "Oh look, she doesn't have any shoes on". So the cameraman zooms in on her bare feet. I remember they were very cute. Bob proceeded to ask her why she wasn't wearing shoes. So she answers that she does not like shoes, and something to the effect of they affect her balance. And almost as if right in cue, she stumbled. I cannot recall what game she played and whether or not she won. But as her game ended, CBS did a freeze frame of the barefoot close-up scene. The audience laughed and off we went to commercial. She spun the big wheel barefoot but did not advance.

Over the next few years, I did not see anything good until Valerie in the Winter of 1984. She was a very hot African American lady, perhaps early to mid 20's, who got called down as part of the first four contestants. When her name was called, she immediately jumped up. Then she reached down and picked up one black pump before coming down to contestants row. So obviously she was airing out her feet not expecting her name to be called. So when Bob gets out, he notices Valerie's one pump which she had placed beside her microphone at the podium. Bob reaches out and either Valerie or one of the other contestants handed it to him. He then announces that Valerie's shoe is the first item up for bid. Luckily Valerie won the first one-bid and made it onstage right away. I recall she won her game, but as it ended, you could see her calling out to her friends for her other shoe. Then as CBS went to commercial, they did a freeze frame of Valerie's one pump on the podium. Again audience laughter. But when it was time to spin the big wheel, Valerie had both pumps on, and I was disappointed.

But nothing will ever match "Shoeless Mary" in November of 1989. I'm watching the 5:00 p.m. showing on a local network on a Thursday after work. In the first half hour of the show, we return from commercial. Bob tells Rod Roddy "I need another player". Rod announces "I have another player. Are you out there Mary R...? Mary, you're the next contestant on The Price is Right". So this African American lady, not a hottie, but still very attractive jumps up and makes her way through an aisle right about in the exact middle of the set. As she gets to the main aisle coming down, I was able to tell that she was barefoot. I freaked out. She's wearing glasses, she's got on this nice white top, a red and white striped knee-length skirt and absolutely no shoes. The great thing was Bob also noticed. So as Mary is jumping around, spinning and yelping in contestants row, I immediately started recording. Then Bob said, and I can remember this by heart from watching it so much, "You folks at home probably think Mary's excited. And you're right. But I think Mary's more excited than you realize. I think you can get a shot here José. She jumped out of her shoes back there. She flew to her feet, her shoes went in another direction, and I have a little barefoot girl here". Just as Bob finished saying this, the camera panned in on Mary's bare feet as she did another spin. Then Bob added "I think it's only appropriate that the next item up for bid is Mary's shoes. See the lady at the end of the aisle holding them up". At that point the camera switched to a lady holding Mary's two shoes. There was laughter all around and then the camera switched back to Mary who was making this "Oh well what can you do?" look.

As this was going on, I'm sitting there with a huge boner. My girlfriend at the time was at her college and my brother was snoozing in his room. So I did not have to worry about anyone else being there. I was disappointed when Mary did not make it onstage right away. I was afraid that while CBS was doing whatever they do during the commercial break part, Mary would get her shoes back. The first Showcase Showdown was completed and then even a couple of more games. And finally, Mary made it onstage at her last possible chance. When she won, Bob announced "Shoeless Mary has made it onstage". I was so damned relieved to see Mary climb up onstage still barefoot. I could not believe what I was seeing. She made no effort to get her shoes back. When her prize she was playing for was announced as a car, she started jumping around in her bare feet. It was amazing. I kept hoping she would play Pathfinder since the camera would have to follow here feet. But she played Any Number, and won. When she did, she started jumping around again. Bob then announced "Shoeless Mary has won. Mary pick up the keys over there". She's jumping and yelping, meanwhile something's jumping in my pants!

While I am wondering how much more I can take, it's time to spin the big wheel. Mary's still barefoot. She spins last and wins her way into the Final Showcase. When she did, all Bob said was "There she goes into the famous Mary stomp. Into the famous Mary stomp. Mary will be in our final showcase".

Back from commercial and Mary did not win. She overbid. But Bob made one more barefoot reference. He told the audience "I get the impression that you think that Shoeless Mary has gone over". He announced the prices and Mary did lose. But I loved how he kept referring to her as "Shoeless Mary". Man, if I had been the host of TPIR, I would have been walking around the stage with a big Woody. I really wish she had won though. Seeing as how she never made an effort to get her shoes back, it would have been interesting to see if one of her friends would have brought her shoes to her. Or maybe not. In my perfect world, her shoes were lost for good and she went home barefoot.

By the way, CBS was three days behind this local network for showing TPIR. So the following Tuesday, I called in sick and watched the episode again. I got to re-tape all the exciting parts. I really need to find a way to convert that VHS tape to digital. If I can, perhaps I can share it here or on Youtube. Any interest out there?

^^^^ Yeah, I'd always wait for a woman to get gunged in stocking feet on Noel's House Party or something like that (it was the mid 90s, and opaque black tights were the trend then). It never seemed to happen though...

Cheers, everybody,
