Ever hear of 'Jiggle TV'? Well, it was a movement of sorts that took the world by storm during a time when TV shows were transitioning from dealing with women who were traditional, modest homemakers to independent ladies who weren't afraid to step on toes as they fought for respect in a male-dominated world while donning low cut blouses and high rise miniskirts.

Series like Charlie's Angels, Battle of the Network Stars, and Wonder Woman introduced the jiggle to the masses, but not everyone was happy about it. The expression 'Jiggle TV' was first introduced by Paul Klein, an NBC exec who absolutely despised the way the network's biggest competitor, ABC, pumped out a whole string of shows that drew in large numbers of viewers by relying heavily on sexy, semi-clad women.
Instead of covering up their stars, ABC continued to produce such content well into the 1980s. The idea was if they could turn the audience on then they could make sure that they continued to tune in. Jiggle TV wasn't exclusively just a sitcom thing either. The movement seeped into all types and genres of media. Looking back on this arguably groundbreaking era of television it's pretty obvious that the industry got away with a lot of things that would probably be censored today.
