Line 56:
* Subverted in the first ''[[Deathlands]]'' novel "Pilgrimage to Hell". The Baron of Mocsin, Jordan Teague, has two girls by his side who don't change their bored expressions even when he uses them; not that Teague can do much as he's [[Adipose Rex|too fat]] and doped out to care.

* In the ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' episode "Seth" (Season 3, Episode 2), the heroes go undercover in a brainwashed cult to a Earth-bound Goa'uld. Major Samantha Carter becomes part of Seth's harem.
* ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'': Harry Mudd's female androids in "[[Star Trek: The Original Series/Recap/S2/E08 I, Mudd|I, Mudd]]".
Line 63:
* In the Adam West ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]'' show, if the villain of the week was male, he would invariably have an attractive female henchman serving alongside the mooks. On rare occasions, they actually served some purpose other than scenery.

Perhaps even ''mutant'' or genetically-engineered giant birds, really, it's one of the series more amusing [[Epileptic Trees]].

** Note also that in live action film, ''[[Batman and Robin (film)|Batman and Robin]]'', Dr. Freeze has a eye-candy woman in what is essentially a [[Fur Bikini]] slumming around his lair. However, when she asks him if he's [[Unusual Euphemism|feeling warm]] he rebukes her and points out that his heart only beats for his wife. [[Fridge Logic|So why keep her around then?]]
*** Or could it be that women going into the henchperson career look for a boss who won't be demanding sexual favors, so he gets a disproportionate number of the available female mooks?
*** This makes sense and even ties into the comics. Apparently The Riddler used to get a large number of female, and generally more intelligent, mooks because he was known for treating them better and not being so quick to sacrifice them. Conversely, the Joker usually got bottom of the rung guys who were desperate for money
