* JossWhedon has a very well-deserved reputation for creating [[ActionGirl strong female characters]] who aren't just there for {{Fanservice}}, but that doesn't mean he doesn't provide plenty of fanservice anyway. [[{{Firefly}} We're looking at you]], [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold Inara]]. [[MaleGaze Oh]] ''[[MaleGaze boy]]'', [[MaleGaze are we looking at you]].

* One has to give props to Pam Anderson, who even while surrounded by supermodel castmates, ''still'' managed to [[GagBoobs stand out]] as the Ms. Fanservice of ''{{Baywatch}}''.

** In the new series, which for its first four seasons had an [[AuthorAppeal openly gay producer]], most of the fanservice has been done by the men. All the women have done is an occasional bit of (very little) midriff and cleavage. Now that the new show-runner is a straight man, the pendulum is going back the other way, with Amy Pond in [[FairCop a rather nice police uniform]] and regurly sporting skirts which show off her legs to good effect, also she has [[FieryRedhead flaming red hair]], [[HeroesWantRedHeads Hmm...]]

** Seven of Nine from ''[[StarTrekVoyager Star Trek: Voyager]]''. Loved the character, but the heels and [[SpyCatsuit metallic catsuit]] may have been a Bit Much. Her look and outfit were designed by the Holo-Doc, who was in love/lust with her.

* Rachel on ''BoyMeetsWorld'' served this purpose in her early appearances, where she would often wander around in a tiny bathrobe or really tight fitting shirts. Her role as this diminished after the whole "two guy reacting to having a hot girl as a roommate" plotline wore thin and the writers had to give the character something else to do.

** Justified, as the Pythons usually did female roles themselves. The only time they hired actresses was when the character had to show something the guy's couldn't fake. Thus, every woman in the Flying Circus tends to be fanservice.

* Carly Shay in ''{{iCarly}}'' is as close as you're going to get in a show aimed at tweens. Mildly sexy dance number in "[=iDream=] of Dance", bikini opening scene in "[=iHatch=] Chicks" and being dressed in sports bra and boxing trunks (not to mention the catfight aspect of that episode) in "[=iFight=] Shelby Marx", her 'a little too cute' short skirt and sleeveless top in ''iSpeed Date'', the list goes on. Also spends quite a while making out with guys in several episodes.
* Staying with ''{{Nickelodeon}}'', all four of the female stars of ''{{Victorious}}'' qualify. Cat and Jade burn up the screen in "Freak The Freak Out", Cat wearing practically nothing and getting sprayed with water during the BeachEpisode ''Stuck In An RV'', Tori during several of her sexy song and dance numbers and Trina and her short shorts and tight tops. Yeah.. it looks like we were wrong about Carly being the closest as you can get to this on a tween show.
