Jiggle Show

A show about babes...or rather their attributes.

History: In 1975, über-producer Aaron Spelling came up with an outrageous idea — a TV show about three female detectives. Back then, women rarely had leading roles in hour-long series, and they certainly did not run around without bras. Charlie's Angels changed all that, introducing a spellbound nation to the Jiggle Show. Then came Baywatch, which combined bikinis and Slow Motion to take the Jiggle Show to new heights of craftsmanship.

See also Girls Behind Bars, the Anime implementation (Gainaxing) and the Video Game implementations (Jiggle Physics, Panty Fighter).

"We make this promise to our audience: As long as we are on the air, every show will end with girls jumping on trampolines."

VIP (Vallery Irons Protection), an Affectionate Parody of Charlie's Angels starring Pamela Anderson.
She Spies, another Affectionate Parody of Charlie's Angels, which could be seen as Charlie's Angels, but with everyone in on the joke. In fact, when they dropped a lot of the self-referential humor and turned into a straight action-adventure series in the second season, it didn't work.
Despite having a plot more akin to Knight Rider, Thunder in Paradise has so many pool scenes and enough action girls of the week it probably fits here.
