Title: Whatever happened to good old jiggle TV?

I mean, God, you had THREE'S COMPANY, CHARLIE'S ANGELS, LOVE AMERICAN STYLE - even THE LOVE BOAT and FANTASY ISLAND (to a certain extent)...
Now its all serious and stuff - with violence and surgical procedures pornographically shot ad nauseum...
Give me Suzanne Sommers in a micro nightie anytime... :rolleyes:

It's still on! Watch any current crime drama, and you will likely see at least one ridiculously tanned supermodel attempting to portray a tough cop. I liked the first episode of the new NBC series LIFE, but former NFL cheerleader Sarah Shahi, all 5'3" of her, is the victim of crazy miscasting as the star's all-business homicide-dick sidekick (technically, I suppose, he's the sidekick). Plus, the pilot managed to give her a gratuitous shower scene and a gratuitous from-the-waist-up rear nude scene.
Really, LAS VEGAS is the most-AaronSpellingesque series that Spelling never produced.

What, you don't get Comedy Central, Chris?

Don't forget about the glut of "fat quirky husband-skinny practical wife" sitcoms. The jiggling's just happening in the wrong places is all.

Leah Remini holds up her end of the jiggling just fine, thank you! ;)

Y'ever watch THE DRAMA of Charmed on TNT? Painful writing on the level of Josie And The Pussycats In Outer Space is fortunately costumed like some elaborate porno epic. And occasionally you get a cool monster. Brought to you by, of course, Aaron Spelling.

What, you mean there's something out there in the world of television, film, the internet, etc; that isn't all about pandering the peoples' most crass, immature desires? Stupid cop shows about supermodels involved in S&M murders, sitcoms starring breast implants in tight t-shirts, reality shows that... well, speak for themselves? The news is about Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, and judges presidential candidates on how they dress. Internet discussions of almost every film seem to instantly turn to and dwell on whether such & such actress takes her top off in it (even often on this forum, which generally tries to keep itself on a higher level than most, like the imdb forums, etc; which is I think what attracted most of us here in the first place).
Surely things are sophomoric enough for all of us by now?

And there's plenty of male jiggling on "Survivor," or so I've been told...

I'm slow; I admit it. :ph43r:
