* ''Series/WonderWoman'': Lynda Carter taught ''Series/{{Baywatch}}'' how it is done. "Amazon Hot Wax" features [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSR6isVJaEA this scene]] complete with slow motion, framing, and all of the [[MsFanservice bounce that anyone can ask for]].

* ''Series/CharliesAngels''. The show made [[FanService a point]] of having the heroines run and jump without bras. Unlike many of its successors, it was also quite plot-heavy and would have been a decent detective show without the fan service.

* The first season of ''Series/PoliceWoman'' frequently entered Jiggle Show territory, with much attention to the braless breasts of the female characters, including those of the main character Sgt. Pepper Anderson (played by Creator/AngieDickinson). This is perhaps not surprising as the show competed with ''Series/CharliesAngels''. In later seasons, when the show was firmly established, the fanservice aspects was toned down.

* ''Series/BattleOfTheNetworkStars'', in addition to three competitions in swimwear, had running relays and an obstacle course in the pre-jog bra era. Catching a football was also an excuse for slow-motion replays.

* ''Series/{{Baywatch}}'' has frequent slow-motion shots of running women in bikinis.

* ''Series/BlakesSeven'' was notorious for this, to the point where radio comedy show ''Radio/TheBurkissWay'' parodied that show's on SpaceClothes with:

* Many of the many pokes aimed at the Fox network by ''The Simpsons'' have to do with its association with the genre. A particularly scathing burn came in "You Kent Always Say What You Want", where Kent Brockman and Lisa switch back and forth between a Fox reality show about stewardesses in bikinis and a Fox News show describing how liberals are outraging America in their opinion. Homer switches between excitement and outrage depending on the show.

In 1975, über-producer Creator/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 many women did run around without bras, they certainly did not do so on TV. ''Series/CharliesAngels'' changed all that, introducing a spellbound nation to the Jiggle Show, a genre that featured shows with a whole lot of women running in slow-motion. Or at least [[{{Gainaxing}} running without bras]]. Some of them even had plots and stuff.[[note]]Somewhat ironically, the canonical example, ''Charlie's Angels'', did have quite a lot of plot and could have stood alone even without the fanservice.[[/note]] Sorta.

* InUniverse: In the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "Peter TV", ''The Side-Boob Hour'' was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y06PoMHBj7k a show on Peter's network]] dedicated to showing the side parts of boobs peeking out from women's clothing and costumes. Unlike most examples, it didn't have any jiggling, but none of the women featured (or Peter) wore bras.

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* ''Film/Piranha3D'' and especially its sequel ''Film/Piranha3DD'' were marketed with trailers and posters packed to the brim with women in bikinis. The sequel even starred Creator/DavidHasselhoff.

* In ''Series/LostGirl'', 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. The fact that she's a supernatural creature who ''has'' to have sex often or else she'll die doesn't exactly lower the amount of FanService.

[[folder:Advertising]]
* Scientists (and programmers) from New Zealand's "Shock Absorber Sport" have created a "Bounce-O-Meter simulator" to illustrate how well their firm's sports-bra works. The web page gets lots of hits, not necessarily from women looking to buy the product.

* ''Manga/{{Colorful}}'': Pretty much the entire basis of the series, which was a more-or-less plot-free ecchi about men being obsessed with panties.
* The anime adaptation of ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDxD'' shamelessly flaunts the amount of {{Gainaxing}} going on, having on-screen breasts not only bounce everywhere but make sound effects, and even adding whole new {{Filler}} material that wasn't on the novels for the sake of more FanService (most notably having the girls lose their clothes mid-battle just to show their boobs even more). The main character even learns an ability that lets him hear what breasts are "saying". An English voice-actress also said that the breasts making noises was the hardest part of the show to get used to.

* Garry Trudeau spent a couple of weeks in 1978 lampooning the concept in ''ComicStrip/{{Doonesbury}}'', showing network execs trying to think like nine-year-olds while examining the "cleavage situation" on ''Spa'', their proposed brainless sitcom.

* ''Film/AngelsRevenge'', a movie about women fighting a 1970s drug cartel.
* ''Film/Piranha3D'' and especially its sequel ''Film/Piranha3DD'' were explicitly marketed this way, with trailers and posters packed to the brim with women in bikinis. The sequel even starred Creator/DavidHasselhoff.
* ''Film/WrongfullyAccused'' parodies the ''Series/{{Baywatch}}'' version.

* TropeMaker: ''Series/CharliesAngels''. The show made [[FanService a point]] of having the heroines run and jump without bras. Unlike many of its successors, it was also quite plot-heavy and would have been a decent detective show without the fan service.
* TropeCodifier: ''Series/{{Baywatch}}'' has frequent slow-motion shots of running women in bikinis.
%% * ''Series/ThreesCompany''
* In ''Series/Charmed1998'', the Halliwell sisters have a noticeable preference for wearing very low-cut and/or form-fitting tops. The actresses have been known to complain about the wardrobe choices [[OldShame in later interviews]].
* ''Series/{{VIP}}'' (Vallery Irons Protection), an AffectionateParody of ''Charlie's Angels'' starring Creator/PamelaAnderson.
* ''Series/SheSpies'', another AffectionateParody 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.

%% * ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' once brought the point home in the ''Battle of the Networks T's and %% A's'' sketch (parodying ''Series/BattleOfTheNetworkStars'').
* Despite having a plot more akin to ''Series/KnightRider'', ''Series/ThunderInParadise'' has so many [[PoolScene pool scenes]] and enough [[ActionGirl action girls]] [[GirlOfTheWeek of the week]] it probably fits here.
* ''Series/TheFactsOfLife'' began this way. With high-school-aged girls dressed skimpily, the show is [[{{Squick}} a little disturbing]] to watch now. Season two was retooled and toned down.

* Prison drama ''Series/{{OZ}}'' has the ShowWithinAShow "Miss Sally's Schoolyard", supposedly an educational show aimed at young children. It, and its successor exercise program "Sally-cize", are pretty blatantly this.
* ''The Client List'' is the rough American equivalent of ''Secret Diary'', complete with similar sexy advertising, only with Creator/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]].
* ''Series/GroundForce'' is a serious gardening show, and certainly wasn't ''intended'' as a jiggle show, but the main female presenter Charlie Dimmock's tendency to jiggle and very obvious aversion to bras attracted quite some attention. At least in some circles, this made the show BestKnownForTheFanservice.
* ''Series/{{Friends}}'':
** The girls on the show, and especially Rachel, are still well-known for their nipples often showing through their clothes. Fans tend to assume that this is because of a lack of undergarments, though Jennifer Aniston has said in interviews that she usually wore a bra and it was "just the way her breasts are".
** In-universe, also the only reason the guys watch ''Series/{{Baywatch}}''.
* ''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. The fact that she's a supernatural creature who ''has'' to have sex often or else she'll die doesn't exactly lower the amount of FanService.

* Early 1979 saw ''three'' knock-offs from ''Film/AnimalHouse'' that took the trope to the extreme: CBS' ''Series/CoEdFever'', NBC's ''Brothers and Sisters'' (not to be confused with the much later ''Series/BrothersAndSisters''), and ABC's ''Series/DeltaHouse''. All of them faced severe censorship troubles before airing and three of them were canned after a few weeks (''Co-Ed'' was cancelled after one episode).

[[folder:Web Original]]
* All properties of ''WebOriginal/GetsuyoubiNoTawawa'' focus on the daily lives and romantic troubles of a group of young women in Tawawa Prefecture, with the occasional POV shift to other girls or the main groups' love interests. The series is ''actually'' just an excuse for watching the girls' [[WorldOfBuxom gigantic breasts]] jiggle, and every illustration calls attention to their chests in some way.

* Much like the ''Dukes of Hazzard'' example, ''Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels'' was considered by critics to be a Saturday morning jiggle show. Being a take off on ''Charlie's Angels'', the namesake "Teen Angels" wore similar outfits which wouldn't be deemed appropriate for a kid-oriented show at the time (and considering we're speaking of girls who appear to be in their ''early teens''...).

* In the animated adaptation of of the Swiss comic ''ComicBook/{{Titeuf}}'', the titular schoolboys are entranced by their school nurse, the one nicknamed ''Double-Airbags'', and the way she moves. For a children's animation, this is perhaps something to be considered as [[ParentService Fanservice for any watching fathers]].

While in the 1980s, audiences soured on the concept and bras came back into fashion, the use of sexy women to sell a show never truly went out of style, as demonstrated by ''Series/MarriedWithChildren''. In the 1990s, ''Series/{{Baywatch}}'', which combined women and SlowMotion, launched a wave of syndicated "jiggle" action shows, while the Fox network became known for its raunchiness during the 2000s, only for the trope to be held in bad taste in 2010s and beyond, save for a few premium cable shows.

While in the 2010s, such egregious showcases were now held in bad taste, cable shows such as ''Series/GameOfThrones'' and ''Series/LostGirl'' owe their popularity in no small part to its use of seductive imagery.
