This episode is unique in that it is a rare occurrence of
nudity passing the TV censors on a broadcast television channel. As of Season Six, this marks the only time a "forbidden" body part has been shown in the series; in the scene when Grissom is processing the sandbox victim (Nicola C. Hindshaw), and the female cadaver'snipple s andbuttocks can be seen throughout several camera shots. For more information, seeNudity in American television .
