Jiggle Show: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

In 1975, über-producer [[Aaron Spelling]] 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 they certainly did not run around without bras. ''[[~~Charlies~~ Angels]]'' changed all that, introducing a spellbound nation to the [[Jiggle Show]]. A show that featured a whole lot of women running in slow-motion.

It kicked off a whole sub-genre of shows, like ''[[Baywatch]]'', which combined women and [[Slow Motion]]. Some of them even had plots and stuff. Sorta.

* ''[[She Spies]]'', another [[Affectionate Parody]] 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.
