* At the time ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "Homer's Night Out" aired on Creator/{{FOX}}, the animators couldn't get away with showing an actual stripper. So, they made "Princess Kashmir" a BellyDancer instead.

* The classic example is ''Series/HowIMetYourMother''. The show's Lusty Leopard location is a strip club, but this is still broadcast TV. Also, getting Allyson Hannigan to do a stripper act while pregnant was already pretty unlikely. So the Lusty Leopard is a well-lit strip club, where the performers wear elaborate burlesque costumes that never come off, and where the music is sufficiently muted to permit the dialog.

* In Creator/EvaIbbotson's ''Literature/TheSecretOfPlatformThirteen'', the complicated plan of the magical creatures to kidnap their lost prince ''back'' involves the fairy of the group replacing a dancing girl, in order to distract the people. The usual dance number is a striptease where the light is switched off exactly when the last veil could fall. The very prim and proper fairy consents to the plan, but insists on wearing her very long, very decent underwear under the seven veils, just in case there's a problem with the light switch. Hilarity ensues.

* None other than Gypsy Rose Lee herself performs an extremely family-friendly strip in ''Stage Door Canteen.'' Mostly, she removes various undergarments, such as a petticoat and garter belt, from under a voluminous skirt and then holds them up.

* Justified in ''Disney/TheGreatMouseDetective''. Miss Kitty's song-and-dance number is period-accurate for Victorian-era England, with her just showing some leg. Her song also has plenty of GettingCrapPastTheRadar.

* Esmeralda's dance at the Feast of Fools in ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame''. Her actual dress isn't much skimpier than her regular outfit, but she lifts it enough to show off her legs and [[FootFocus bare feet]], and at the end she grabs a spear from a guard, sticks it into the stage, and spins around it. She even jumps into Frollo's lap and ties a scarf around him, which [[SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny he remembers a little too well for anyone's good.]]

So, you want to load up on the FanService? Throw in a {{Stripperific}} costume and other sexy stuff? There's just one problem: this is a Family Network! We don't believe in that stuff around here, [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar so how do we go ahead and do it anyway]]?

A FamilyFriendlyStripper wears an elaborate and theoretically sexy costume -- that just happens to cover just about everything. They make a major show of removing a scarf or other accessory instead of actual clothes. Gyrations and undulations happen, but in a strictly rated-PG manner. And a lap dances, if they occur at all, are arms-length affairs.
