I was talking to someone I know about old TV shows recently, and it just dawned on me that there was an old and obscure tickle (Or more like attempted tickle scene) in the tv show "Knots Landing" sometime in the 1980's.
It is a long time ago, so the details of it are a bit fuzzy, but I do know it involved feet tickling. Michelle Lee's character, Karen Fairgate Mcckenzie, had been involved in some kind of accident involving the mobility or sensation of her legs, and I remember the camera showing her bare soles sticking out from under the covers in her hospital bed. At some point, one of her doctors was trying to determine the extent of an injury to her legs or nervous system, uncovered her bare feet, and tried tickling them with his fingers. Michelle Lee gave no reaction. Whether or not she isnt ticklish in real life, is only a bit ticklish, or did a REALLY good job of holding in the laughter could not be determined from watching the scene. After the attempted tickle, the doctor said: "She's not ticklish, let's try something else", and proceeded to use a pin prick in her foot to ascertain feeling in the foot, which caused a reaction of pain or prickling from Michelle Lee.
I dont know if anyone else saw this scene and rememebers any other details. I didnt follow Knots Landing as well as I did Dallas, so the details of this scene are more fuzzy to me then the Victoria Principal 1985 tickle scene that I've posted about on "Dallas". If anyone recalls any further details about the Michelle Lee tickle scene in Knots Landing, please add any details you can think of. Thanks.
