40. Playboy After Dark (1968-1970)

Network: Syndicated

Tele-Vision: Barbi Benton, Cher

Skinopsis: Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner invites you, the viewer, to one of his famously swinging soirees to mingle with entertainers, intellectuals, musical acts and, of course, his entire hutch of Bunnies.

What’s Hot: In the ’60s, nobody was cooler than Hugh Hefner, and no bodies were hotter than Playboy’s naturally voluptuous Playmates, who came into living rooms nationwide via the daring syndicated late-night party, Playboy After Dark.

39. Fantasy Island (1978-1984)

Network: ABC

Tele-Visions: Maureen McCormick, Adrienne Barbeau, Charo

Skinopsis: White-tuxedoed Mr. Roarke (Ricardo Montalban) and his diminutive assistant Tattoo (Hervé Villechaize) make paying customers dreams come true in an exotic atmosphere where anything seems possible – especially if it involves Charo.

What’s Hot: Scheduled after the already-racy Love Boat throughout its run, Fantasy Island upped the bikini-clad ribaldry even further, and raised the erotic temperature of its guest stars’ secret desires to balmy tropical highs.

38. Weeds (2005-?)

Network: Showtime

Tele-Visions: Mary-Louise Parker, Clare Carey, Kristen Price, Meital Dohan, Jessica Jaymes

Skinopsis: Mary-Louise Parker plays a soccer-mom-by-day/marijuana-peddler-by-mid-morning (after the kids have gone to school). Stoned people, it’s nice to see, have an easy time getting naked.

What’s Hot: Mary-Louise Parker is always intoxicating, whether she’s flashing an ass-tattoo or busting our her boobalas big time, as she does in Weeds’ third season. The supporting cast is similarly heady in their erotic allure, and oftentimes nude, too. Weeds will make your pants grow.

37. The O.C. (2003-2007)

Network: Fox

Tele-Visions: Mischa Barton, Rachel Bilson, Melinda Clarke, Amanda Righetti, Autumn Reeser

Skinopsis: A rough-and-tumble outsider (Benjamin McKenzie) lands in Orange County amidst out-of-control teen babes, wild MILFs, and other juicy vestiges of Southern California life (and lust).

What’s Hot: Hot teens in the SoCal sun has been a formula for flesh-happy fans at least since the Beach Party movies. The O.C. not only ups the T&A quotient of all previous takes on the topic, it adds explicit lesbian spice when star Mischa Barton falls hard – and tongue-first – for the prettiest bikini babe on the shore.

36. Electric Blue (1983-1986)

Network: Syndicated

Tele-Visions: Britt Ekland, Gail Harris, Marilyn Chambers

Skinopsis: A pioneering pay-TV sex magazine that combined softcore vignettes, documentary features, theatrical porn clips, and every other aspect of all things erotic in the mid-1980s.

What’s Hot: The last gasp of adult entertainment’s big-screen X-rated movie era goes out with a new-wave bang on Electric Blue. Each installment explores what was turning the world on during the birth of the home-video era—be it rare celebrity skin footage, Jell-O wrestling, X-rated premieres, or the sensationally arousing aspects of aerobic exercise classes.

Sexy Star Pics:

35. Gilligan’s Island (1964-1967)

Network: CBS

Tele-Visions: Tina Louise, Dawn Wells

Skinopsis: Gilligan, the Skipper (too), the Millionaire and his wife, the movie star, the Professor and Mary-Anne goof it up with no lights, no boat, no motor car, not a single lux-sha-ree.

What’s Hot: It’s a question so potent that not even an annoying beer commercial or the even more annoying doofuses who still bring it up can blunt its impact: “Ginger or Mary-Ann?” There is no right (or wrong) answer.

Sexy Star Pics:

34. Smallville (2001-?)

Network: CW

Tele-Visions: Kristin Kreuk, Erica Durance, Allison Mack, Krista Allen, Laura Vandervoort

Skinopsis: Teenage Clark Kent (Tom Welling) starts to realize he’s super, man, but it’s the ladies he’s surrounded by that will turn viewers into men of steel.

What’s Hot: The only babe as sexy young Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk) is the girl that turned the man super after he left town – young Lois Lane (Erica Durance – also check her out completely naked in House of the Dead!).

Sexy Star Pics:

33. The Price Is Right (1972-?)

Network: CBS

Tele-Visions: Dian Parkinson, Nikki Schieler Ziering, Cindy Margolis, Gena Lee Nolan, Anitra Ford

Skinopsis: Iconic game-show in which contestants guess how much prizes cost in between ogling the models who are so hot you’ll have to spay yourself.

What’s Hot: Barker’s Beauties will always make our hearts go “Plinko!”, but watching wildly excited honeys bounce and bobble as they “come on down” is just another reason why The Price Is Right is so very right indeed.

32. The Tudors (2007-?)

Network: Showtime

Tele-Visions: Natalie Dormer, Anna Brewster, Ruda Gedmintas, Lorna Doyle, Rebecca Friberg

Skinopsis: The typical image of King Henry VIII is that of an overfed slob. This ornate rewrites the book by casting him as a Medieval stud with the most enchanting harem in Merry Olde England.

What’s Hot: Henry VIII had six wives and innumerable mistresses and, via gorgeous Saxon sex symbols on the order of Natlie Dormer and Anna Brewster, it’s easy to see why he had such a tough time settling down. His majesty’s idea of “getting head,” however, remains a puzzler.

31. Battle of the Network Stars (1976-1988)

Network: ABC

Tele-Visions: Catherine Bach, Adrienne Barbeau, Lynda Carter, Erin Gray, Joanna Cassidy

Skinopsis: Contemporary stars of competing prime-time programs duel it out in various sporting events, most of which lead to tantalizingly wet t-shirts.

What’s Hot: Swimming events, canoe races, and even a dunk tank combined with sheer swimsuits and loads of lusciously pre-silicone wobbly-tops make Battle of the Network Stars a bombastic triumph in the War Against Nipple-Free TV.
