This is US centric, because it's what I'm familiar with.

I'd think really hard about how the characters are coded. I haven't seen this particular show. Short skirt and ditzy is a cash grab to sell beer. Short skirts and extremely competent? that's a whole different thing. There are a million problems with the dukes of hazard. Daisy Duke is not one of them. Extremely competent character. Echoed by Marisa Tomei in my Cousin Vinny. the us has a whole other suite of issues around race, that I'm going to avoid. Wonder Woman falls into the same category I think.

The lesson, repeatedly, don't judge a book by its cover. at the time, it's funny, but it's gently poking fun at the audience for their sexism.

maybe it's some dumb campy show. maybe there's something more subtle that's being pushed, that's only really possible to push in science fiction. this isn't us, this is some far-away future.

Gloria Steinem continued to wear mini skirts. a playboy bunny is a ditzy girl with no value beyond delivering drinks, which is gross. Legally blonde fits into the category as well, you can't just look at the surface, you have to look at the whole person.

I can't speak to this particular show. but maybe try to put yourself into the mindset of that time, and see if they're showing you something about that worldview.
