Just an 'aside', but quite some time after the Bob Barker 'scandals' blew up I remember watching an episode (the show was still airing.) and I could see that the 'harrassing' type behavior was probably systemic. A female contestant was on stage with BB. She was casually dressed with a short skirt and top, nothing out of the ordinary, not inappropriate. The CAMERAMAN 'panned' this woman slowly, VERY slowly, from ankles to shoulders and then, finally settled on her face, it was the creepiest thing I'd seen in a long time on tv. Very uncomfortable to watch. It was clearly inappropriate. I could see that the problem probably wasn't just BB...
The second 'creepiest' thing I had seen was, while watching a rerun of Bewitched with Elizabeth Montgomery. The scene was in a bedroom and Samantha and Darren were talking. Samantha, wearing a simple nightgown, sat in a chair beside a bed and the camera took a crotch shot! Really! Upper thighs and panty at the juncture (best way I can describe). My mouth dropped open. It was clearly a shot that one would not ever see even in the year (many years after the original show) I saw the rerun. Don't know how this got past the censors??? These 'not so subtle' things probably happened quite frequently and were perhaps slyly left in the final product. Hollywood...

strange in that her then husband William Asher directed most episodes and later was the producer

This happens all the time. In women's tennis when they serve...years back there was always a crotch shot. Football games, with all the fans in the stadium, the camera man always finds the hottie in the crowd.
