* 1960's ''Series/Batman1966'' episode "It's the Way You Play the Game". During the climactic showdown between the OldWest style villain Shame and the Dynamic Duo, we get a shot of Batman and Robin as viewed between Shame's legs. As noted in the [[AC:{{Film}}]] section this was often done in {{Western}} movie showdowns, and was thus an homage to those scenes.

ShesGotLegs. Note however, that the person whose legs are used as a frame is not always a woman, and the legs are not always bare.

* Played with in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. It's the very first shot of season 3. A vampire crawls part-way out of his grave, only to be framed by two leather-clad legs. Reverse angle and it's not the title character, but Willow. Same thing happens in the first shot of Season 6, too, only this time it's the Buffybot.
** The shot is used in "Family" when Buffy is fighting Spike. It turns out to be a DaydreamSurprise [[CombatSadomasochist sex fantasy]] of Spike's, hence the SexIsViolence vibe.

A standard shot where someone is framed between the legs of another person.

Widely used for [[http://demilked.uuuploads.com/movie-poster-cliches/movie-poster-cliches-4.jpg movie posters.]] The most famous example is probably the poster for the ''Film/JamesBond'' film ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'' and subsequent parodies thereof. The poster designer for this film decided to put the one-piece swimsuit of the woman on back to front, [[ThongOfShielding exposing quite a bit more of her rear]]. This attracted quite a degree of controversy and in several locales shorts were painted on.

The second most common takes after the shot in ''Film/TheGraduate'' and the famous line "[[MrsRobinson Mrs. Robinson]] -- you're trying to seduce me... Aren't you?"
