Ms. Fanservice/Live-Action TV: Difference between revisions

* Possibly the ultimate [[Ur Example]]: The title character of ''[[I Dream of Jeannie]]''.

* Weirdly misaimed with the current{{when}} DNA tech on ''[[CSI]]'', Wendy Simms, who is [[Lampshading|constantly called "buxom"]] and [[Buxom Is Better|a big deal is made about her chest]] in the comedic episode "You Kill Me". This even though, her actress, Liz Vassey, ''doesn't'' have especially large breasts and [[Informed Attribute|doesn't measure up to the hype coming from other characters]]. Notable in that episode is that Sheeri Rappaport, playing fingerprint tech Mandy Webster, is wearing a v-neck top that quite clearly shows that she should be the one with the label, but no one comments on it. Probably because she was [[Hollywood Homely|wearing glasses]].

** Surpassed only by substitute host Carrie Keegan when she appears in skits dressed as [[Power Girl]].

* Lieutenant Gay Ellis on ''[[UFO]]''. She is however treated as a competent professional by the men she serves with.

* ''[[Knightmare]]'', a British children's game show, sent millions hurtling into puberty with Velda, Stilleta, Marta and Romana to name but four...

** [[Dungeon Master|Host]] Treguard supplied the [[Mr. Fanservice]] for the female viewers.

** Pretty much ''every'' female guest star on ''Chuck'' could also apply.

* Morgana, from ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'', is always seen in extra tight dresses with giant cleavage that show '''a lot''' of skin.

** In the ''Turbo'' movie, Divatox showed considerably more cleavage. It was pointed out by more than one review that she was probably there specifically for the target audience's fathers and older brothers. (It should be stated that Hilary Shepard Turner (Divatox) was pregnant during the movie, and missed the first half of the TV season because of it. Whether it was intentional or simply pregnancy breast-engorgement, we may never know.)

** ''Mighty Morphin{{'}}'' had Kimberly's gymnastics leotards and far more [[Beach Episode]]s than later series. [[Power Rangers Ninja Storm|Tori]] was also this in her surf outfits. [[Justified Trope]] with ''[[Power Rangers SPD|SPD]]'''s Syd, what with being a former model.

* ''[[Super Sentai]]'' predates this for very long. We've got heroines [[Master of Disguise|with penchant of disguises]] (too many to count) to heroines who likes their [[Furo Scene]] ([[Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger|Umeko]] and [[Juken Sentai Gekiranger|Ran]]) to those who [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|look really that good]] that they become fanservice on its own by appearing on-screen (such as [[Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger|Jasmine]], [[Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger|Nanami]], to name a few).

* Nadia, the lapdancing, stripteasing German astronaut from ''[[Defying Gravity]]''.

** Season 11: [[Sweet Home Alabama|Skylar Laine]], [[Foreign Fanservice|Hollie Cavanagh]] and [[Amazonian Beauty|Shannon Magrane]]

* The Swedish 1970s comedy series ''Semlons Gröna Dalar'' (''Semlon's Green Valleys'') pokes fun at this trope with the in-series TV series ''Tant Raffa'' (approximately ''Sexy Auntie'') in which a hot lady in lingerie reads classical fairy tales in an "interesting" manner. Mr Semlon is an avid fan of hers.
