Line 33:
** Leeta from ''[[Deep Space Nine]]'' was introduced without even the pretense of a character, unless it was [[The Ditz]] (With a "D", spell it right).
* [[Joss Whedon]] has a very well-deserved reputation for creating [[Action Girl|strong female characters]] who aren't just there for [[Fan Service]], but that doesn't mean he doesn't provide plenty of fanservice anyway. [[Firefly (TV)|Particularly]], [[Hooker With a Heart of Gold|Inara]].
** Zoe also requires mention. Although her clothing shows very little skin, it's practically painted on and involves [[Hell
** Though all of the other female cast members appeared in either skimpy outfits or partially naked, the only one to go onscreen [[Naked On Arrival|completely in the buff]] was River. And despite the fact that for the rest of the series she went around in [[Pimped
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' Season 5 [[Big Bad]], Glory, is ''definitely'' this. Between the attention paid to her outfits, the revealingness of those outfits, shots of her changing ([[Fetish Fuel|right in]] [[Foe Yay|front of]] [[Les Yay|Dawn]], no less), the way she constantly invaded everyone's personal space, and shots of her bathing. ''Damn''.
** Buffy herself, Faith even more so, and of course Vamp Willow
Line 49:
* Joan in ''[[Mad Men]]'' spends most of her time in tight outfits and has ''massive'' breasts. She's played by Christina Hendricks, who was "Saffron" in ''[[Firefly (TV)|Firefly]]''. You know, special hell...
** Oh, but what that road is paved with makes it well worth the trip.
* Servalan from ''[[
* Abby from ''[[NCIS (TV)|NCIS]]''.
** Caitlin "Kate" Todd got, in the space of two seasons and two episodes, a stretch in tight trousers, two [[Shower Scene|Shower Scenes]], a [[Sexy Schoolwoman]] outfit, a [[Spy Catsuit]], a dominatrix cop outfit -- and we discovered that she ''won'' a wet T-shirt contest.
Line 106:
** 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|Beach Episodes]] 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]]''.
* Stacy Monroe on ''[[Hustle]]'', both for the show and for the cons themselves, where she is typically used in such a way. She also happens to be a very well-written character and a mathematical genius.
Line 115:
** The tattoo episode. Scully, pants halfway down, bending over, and practically orgasmic.
** She was initially an aversion of this trope. Fox was reluctant to cast Gillian Anderson at first, wanting someone more conventionally fanservice-y, someone tall and [[Buxom Is Better|well-endowed]]. [[Chris Carter]] was adamant about giving her the role, though, which worked out beautifully.
* Some fans of ''[[Life]]'' were irked at the obvious Ms. Fanservice makeover given to Detective Dani Reese in its second and final season. Particularly memorable was a gratuitous slow-motion hip-swinging stroll in thigh-high boots whilst [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|sucking on a lollipop.]] The change was seen as an obvious attempt to "sex up" the series by putting Sarah Shahi in more revealing clothing: replacing her sensible shoes with heels, taking down her hair which had been previously worn up in a no-nonsense bun, wearing lower cut tops (which was lampshaded by Crews with the suggestion that she utilize a few more buttons at the top of her blouse before entering a complex which housed former prison inmates).
* Mac, Catherine Bell's character on ''[[JAG]]''.
* Kaley Cuoco from ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'' is one fan-serving appearance.
Line 140:
** Some fans even consider her an [[Expy]] of Jackie "Nurse Jackie" Peyton from ''[[Nurse Jackie]]''.
* ''[[Smallville]]'': Lois Lane and her collection of costumes. [http://doena-journal.net/en/577/lois-lanes-costumes Case in point.]
* Pretty much every female character in ''[[
* The [[Hee Haw]] Honeys.
* More than half the scenes in ''[[The Cape (TV)|The Cape]]'' involving Orwell have her in one tight outfit or skirt or another set of revealing clothes.
Line 150:
* Ros (played by burlesque performer Esme Bianco) in ''[[Game of Thrones (TV)|Game of Thrones]]''. While most of her scenes are plot-relevant and characterisation-rich (usually for whatever man she's interacting with), she's naked in pretty much all of them.
* In her brief stint on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'', [[Casey Wilson]] got a surprising number of fanservice-y parts, which makes her [[Screwed By the Network|getting fired for being "too fat"]] all the more ludicrous.
* Cerie on ''[[
* Danielle Colby-Cushman on ''[[American Pickers]].''
* ''[[My Babysitters a Vampire]]'''s lead girl Sarah, fits the trope to a T. Also Erica after being bitten.
