321.0. "The PlayGIRL Channel?" by VINO::EVANS (The Few. The Proud. The Fourteens.) Thu Dec 01 1988 15:08

    Ok, let's assume there was a Playgirl Cable Channel.
    
    Let's assume it was for women - not a man's best shot at what
    women wanted, but what women *really* wanted in such a channel.
    
    Or do women really want such a channel? Is there a market?
    If so - if you would subscribe to this channel, what would you 
    like to see? Burt Reynolds baking chocolate chip cookies in the
    nude? Fantasy love scenes with <insert favorite star's name here>?
    
    Or....?
    
    Com'on, gurrrls, whaddaya say?

    *blush*
    
    I much prefer written erotica to visual erotica.
    
    And, when push comes to shove ;), I'd much rather the real thing
    with the right person...

Well, since Jeremy Brett does Sherlock Holmes so well...

maybe they could do Lady Chatterly's Lover just as well? (I hope that book
isn't _too_ PoliticallyIncorrect :-).

    Well, of *course*, I much prefer the real thing with the right person,
    but.....
    
    How about rock videos where good looking (male) rock stars perform
    nude???   George Michael...Bruce Springsteen....Simon Le Bon....
    Jon Bon Jovi....    (The Traveling Wilbury's can stay dressed, tho)

    Chances are, though, that as soon as the PlayGirl Channel started
    to REEEEEEEEEEAALY cook, the same would happen as it happened with
    the PlayBOY channel:  Talk shows, game shows, magazine shows, R
    rated movies (as opposed to slightly edited X's), more funny stuff,
    but less erotica.  My husband and I are cancelling PB channel, and
    I would hate to go through the same thing all over again.
    
    (Jon Bon Jovi nude?  All you would see is hair, hair and more hair!
    At least I _did_ get to see Don Johnson nude on PB channel. *sigh*)

    Re .4, well, I've heard it said that Jon Bon Jovi has "the nicest
    hair in rock'n'roll."  From what I've seen of his chest I think
    I could stand it :-)!

    wouldn't it be nice if people seemed to _enjoy_ themselves
    instead of looking and sounding like a) they would rather have mailed
    it in; or b) someone was squeezing their toes with a garlic press?

    We had the Playboy Channel for a couple of months and then
    cancelled it after a while.
    
    I think the whole idea that irked me that a Playboy Channel was
    available for men, but there wasn't anything equal to that
    available for women.  Not that I would get it, but just to know
    I *COULD* if I wanted to.
    
    What would I like to see in a Playgirl Channel?  Erotic dancing
    (strip tease?), music videos, mild movies and buns!  I can't believe
    I'm writing this ..........  (blush, blush)  I'm really very mild
    mannered.   :^)

    i like the idea of watching someone baking chocolate chip cookies,
    though i'm not sure i'd pick burt reynolds. hmm. maybe julia child?
    
    anyways, i'd _much_ rather have someone do that in person!!

    Tom Cruise - not *Julia Child*!!

   IFF there was a channel and I subscribed, I'd want to see lots of
    sensuality ... kissing ... caressing ... hugging ... massaging ...
    rather than grody close-ups with dubbed-over sound effects.
    
    None of this wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am stuff.

    Re .10, I agree with that.  Also, I'd like to see racially mixed
    couples.

321.12The Great American Strip-OffWOODRO::FAHELAmalthea, the Silver UnicornFri Dec 02 1988 11:1015
    One thing that I liked (and isn't on hardly at all anymore) was
    The Great American Strip Off.  8 amateur strippers (4 male, 4 female)
    would compete for prizes and such.  The best things were that these
    people were DANCERS first, strippers second.  Costumes, originality,
    talent and "sex appeal" were graded on by a celebrity panel of 4
    (2 each).  They strip down to a G-string; no more.
    
    One cute time had Richard (Battlestar Galactica) Hatch as a panelist,
    and he was blushing throughout the whole thing.  He is so cute and
    shy!                                              
    
    My hub and I liked to watch this together, giving our own critiques
    and comments.

    Tall, hairy, handsome men scantily clad shaking their sensual bodies
    to the beat would catch my attention....but then, I could video my
    SO....
    
    I agree with the verbal vs. visual, but I dooo enjoy looking.....
321.14yea! that's the ticket!SSDEVO::GALLUPArizona 68 Temple 50!!!!!Tue Dec 06 1988 14:099
	 definately Tom Cruise's buns! 8^)

	 seriously....I don't think I'd go for it much..I've been to
	 the strip shows and stuff and got a good laugh but that's
	 about it.  Something more sensual, please?  Not just a lot of
	 "meat"!

    I agree with .7... 
    
    I also had the Playboy channel for a while, and was really getting
    sick of the male-oriented shows... 
    
    I would very much enjoy a female oriented channel similar to it,
    with erotic dancers and scenes from local night clubs etc... movies
    more aimed toward the female ... and variety/talk/game shows the
    same way... 
    
    I personally think it would be a great idea. I for one would subscribe.

    � I also had the Playboy channel for a while, and was really getting

    I dunno. I can't imagine why anyone would think that the Playboy
    Channel would have much in the way of *non*-"male-oriented" shows.
    
    For what it's worth, when I was living in Hudson, and Adams-Russell
    started carrying TPC, we tried it for the first month (which was
    free). I think we might have actually paid for a second month, but
    it was so bad, that we dropped it.

    re.19
    
    Dawn,
    
    Tom Cruise or Kevin Costner could be doing something as mundane
    as sipping marguaritas in the nude under a palm tree and discussing
    the national deficit or balance of trade.
    
    My mind could do the rest...

    George Michael could just do his "Monkey" video over again - only
    *naked* this time :-).

321.22Normal Males and Normal ActivitiesBPOV06::PILOTTEThu Feb 09 1989 12:0614
    I too had the Playboy Channel for about 6 weeks then dropped it.
    The initial watching was interesting but after seeing the same males
    in the same 'plot' movies i dropped it.
    
    I would enjoy seeing males of average looks with *normal* bodies
    doing all sorts of things. I would enjoy Kevin Costner or Lee Horsley
    or Mel Gibson without a stitch.....:-)  Richard Hatch is a good
    one too!
            I have had a secret desire to make a 'female' oriented flick. 
    I dont need the camera 3 inches away from the 'act' in order to get
    aroused. I agree with all of the other replies. Sensual activities
    but allowing the camera to show all parts of the body without being
    crass or rude.  
    Anyone want to start a movie business???
321.23PLAYGAY_CHANNELDNEAST::DUNTON_KATIEWed Apr 12 1989 16:566
    I guess if women get to have what they want just like men, gay men
    and women ought to have a channel too.  Personally, I'd like to
    see Meg and Cris and Holly wearing nothing but a guitar!  But I
    would settle for a sequel to "Desert Hearts".  :-)
