* Deconstructed in ''Series/{{Dollhouse}}'': the series is partly about hot women going undercover in situations designed to give fanservice opportunities, but they're explicitly in-universe being abused and sexually-exploited, using an inherently scary and immoral technology that will potentially end up destroying human civilisation.

* ''The Client List'' is the rough American equivalent of ''Secret Diary'', complete with similar sexy advertising, only with JenniferLoveHewitt instead of Billie Piper. It can come as a shock to see this airing on Creator/{{Lifetime}}, given what that network is [[LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek most famous for]].

to:

* The original ''Series/TheDukesOfHazzard'' was sometimes called a jiggle show, even though the main female character Daisy Duke didn't actually jiggle very often or even show much cleavage, but the show did have rather a lot of FanService (including Daisy's eponymous [[WhoWearsShortShorts shorts]]), especially for a family-friendly show from the seventies.

As time went on, the "jiggle concept" didn't have to involve slow motion, just lots and lots of scoop necks and bending way over. Producer Fred Silverman (hired away from CBS for this purpose) came up with dozens of jiggle sitcoms, notably ''ThreesCompany'' and ''TheLoveBoat''.

As time went on, on and bras came back into fashion, the "jiggle concept" didn't have to involve slow motion, motion or even actual jiggling, but just lots and lots of scoop necks and bending way over. Producer Fred Silverman (hired away from CBS for this purpose) came up with dozens of jiggle sitcoms, notably ''ThreesCompany'' and ''TheLoveBoat''. \n

A modern example of how the concept has mutated into the 2010's is ''Series/LostGirl'' where Bo's ample cleavage gets a ''lot'' of attention.




to:

* ''Series/LostGirl'' is an example from TheNewTens, where all the women wear bras (and thus don't jiggle) but so much attention is spent on the protagonist's cleavage that fans have invented a special term, "Boobs O'Clock", for it.

In 1975, über-producer AaronSpelling came up with an outrageous idea -- a TV show about three female detectives who run around without bras. Back then, women rarely had leading roles in hour-long series, and even though some women did run around without bras, they certainly did not do so on TV. ''CharliesAngels'' changed all that, introducing a spellbound nation to the JiggleShow. A show that featured a whole lot of women running in slow-motion. Or at least [[{{Gainaxing}} running without bras]].
