However, there is an alternative interface, Google Image Ripper, that improves on Google.

Google Image Ripper (GIR) saves steps. GIR serves up the images. Google Images search serves up thumbnails with links to the webpages and maybe the image.

The nsfw (not suitable for work) check box on GIR is a content filter. If checked, images that might make you blush or offend you are displayed.

Below are screen shots of my search for small TiVo images on both sites.
