Nip/Tuck premiered on cable's FX network on this date in 2003.

After several years of struggling, the cable network FX scored a hit with Howard Stern's sexy Baywatch parody Son of the Beach in 2000 (featuring Jaime Bergman and Leila Arcieri), and then nailed down a TV classic with the savage (but skin-friendly) cop show The Shield two years later.

Empowered by those daring, censor-defying series, FX went even further out on a limb—and got even more actresses out of their clothes—with the debut of its plastic-surgery-themed drama Nip/Tuck. Controversy greeted the show from its first episode, which seemed to only make Nip/Tuck get more provocative.
