* Peter Petrelli and [[EvilIsSexy Sylar]] from ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' regularly appear in scenes without their shirts on. The tendency to write this in for them is lampshaded in one DVD commentary in which the producers joke about receiving fan mail begging them to keep Milo Ventimiglia naked.

** Juice from ''Series/SonsOfAnarchy'' is also a good example, particularly in the latter half of the series. Where he has plenty of scenes where he is shirtless or completely naked. Noticabily, his first scene in series 7 involves him doing pushups in the nude for no real reason.

* ''Series/LazyTown'': This show has gained a rather large fanbase who regard both Sportacus and Robbie Rotten as sex symbols. Magnús Scheving has expressed surprise and happiness over the fact.

* Carlos Fonnegra on ''Series/{{Continuum}}'', played by Victor Webster, is, well, in the words of [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]], a "Stump [=BeefKnob=]/Gristle [=McThornBody=]". [[note]]Check out the [[http://mst3k.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Nicknames_for_Dave_Ryder list]] of [[TheWikiRule nicknames]] for Dave Ryder, as pretty much every one of them applies to him[[/note]] He's a beefy police officer that somehow manages to be both a pretty boy ''and'' ruggedly handsome at the same time. Just ''look'' [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005543/?ref_=tt_cl_t2 at him.]] In one episode, an attacker catches him by surprise in the shower, followed by a fight scene which he remains nude for the entirety of, complete with (since this ''is'' still on a mostly family-friendly television station) precise editing and camera angles. ''Very'' precise.

* ''Series/BlakesSeven'': Tarrant was originally conceived as a battle-scarred middle-aged man. Then Steven Pacey turned up to audition and the producers saw the effect he had on the female office staff... Blake, Avon and Vila are all adorable, all often shirtless.

** Khal Drogo, appears in a WalkingShirtlessScene all the time. Coupled with his choice of attire and [[RatedMforManly his manliness]] (and his GuyLiner, which some fans would dig).

* ''Series/TheFlash2014''

** The queen that's the most conventionally-attractive out of drag is known as the "trade" of the season ("trade" being gay slang for a handsome man). The first time the queens get out of drag, everyone quickly looks around to see who's the cutest in boy-mode.

** KindlyVet Ted is a case of InUniverse fan service, albeit unknowingly, when it turns out he's been stripping in front of the bunny cam Alexis set up in his office and drawing in a lot of fans who are concerned about whether he will get his pants back on.

* ''Series/SexLife'': Brad and Cooper are both handsome men with very toned physiques. They both get plenty of {{shirtless scene}}s, and Brad's also shown [[MaleFrontalNudity completely naked from the front [[ShowerScene in the shower]], displaying his [[BiggerIsBetterInBed rather large penis]] as a result.

* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': Lestat de Lioncourt and Louis de Pointe du Lac are portrayed by good-looking actors who are fit (Creator/SamReid and Creator/JacobAnderson, respectively), and both characters have nude scenes which are filmed with the FemaleGaze in mind, the most notable example being the first time they have sex where the camera is quite close to their naked bodies as it moves.

** TJ Thyne [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3r3hEUxYlWc&t=2m2s at 2:02 in this clip]] is proof that the makers of the show love you and want you to be happy.

* Creator/TV3 Sports in Spain has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efNouGJgkss this post game interview]] with a [[ShirtlessScene a sweaty, bare-chested and heavy breathing ]] Bojan Krkic.

** Fox Mulder. He's got it all, the tragic backstory, the sexy voice, and the smokin' hot body. The TropeNamer for Estrogen Brigade Bait was the David Duchovny Estrogen Brigade from [[Website/{{Usenet}} alt.tv.x-files]]. Mulder's an especially noteworthy example because unusually for an American show that wasn't particularly aimed at a female audience, Mulder spent a ''lot'' more time not fully clothed than Scully did.

* The titular ''Series/{{Galavant}}'' may qualify as this, as shots and/or scenes of him shirtless are quite loving and shameless. Taken UpToEleven during [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB13n49voyg this number]] from the Season 2 premiere.

** This was not an uncommon role for male companions in the Classic series, due to the relative rarity of conventionally handsome Doctors and the fact that the show took its "family show" concept rather more literally in the beginning, very deliberately making sure that ''everyone'' [[MultipleDemographicAppeal in the family could find something to enjoy]], including [[ParentService dirty Mums]]. A good example is First Doctor companion Steven, who spends most of his time wearing very tight-fitting polo necks, getting restrained by female aliens, and smoldering, though some one-shot characters in the historicals fit the bill too. Vislor Turlough, the last male companion of the Classic series, wore tight short-shorts for his final serial [[DoctorWhoS21E5PlanetOfFire "Planet of Fire"]], and stripped to speedos with a SexySoakedShirt for one scene.
