If it is the first time they meet then it is Naked First Impression otherwise Naked People Are Funny

A common plot in sitcoms of the 80s and the early 90s would be two characters accidentally seeing each other naked. This was almost always two characters of opposite gender who disagree about everything and are constantly arguing or bickering, but you can tell that deep down they like each other.
Some way, some how, these characters simultaneously walk in on each other naked. Typically, both are undressed to shower, one inside the bathroom, one outside the bathroom. The character outside the bathroom drops their towel, and walks into the room. Typically the rest of the episode involves awkward conversations and trying to get comfortable talking to each other again after the embarrassing situation.
Off the top of my head, the examples I can think of are: - Tony and Angela in Who's The Boss - Steve Urkel and Laura Winslow in Family Matters - Raymond and Lisa in Sister Sister
I'm sure there are many more examples that I can't think of. There has got to be a trope for this, as this was a very common plot. Does anybody know if a trope for this exists, and what it's called?
