8 TV Shows That Owe Their Longevity To Boobs

The key to every long-running television show in the history of the medium is, above all else, consistency. Why is Days of Our Lives still on the air? Because although it delivers ridiculous, trashy, mostly meaningless storylines (there’s no such thing as real death in soap operas, only the opportunity for a “shocking” resurrection later on), it delivers it with consistency.

So while shows like Community and Dead Like Me had to scrape and claw for every season (and often every episode) to be put on the air because of their unusual storytelling sensibilities, a show like The Big Bang Theory is bound to run on an endless network broadcast for all of eternity because it found an easy formula to replicate, and is more than happy to deliver the same familiar product over and over.

The easiest formula to ensure a long and prosperous run? Insert boobs. Aaaaaaaand repeat. That’s it. That’s the simple key to success that a solid handful of the longest-running television shows in history have latched onto.

Some of those shows, however, may have taken that notion a bit too far, deciding that this element would be the utmost priority, seemingly filling up their production crew with dozens of lighting experts (to better accentuate the bazooms) in lieu of a writing team. Because no one cares about the stories or properly-worded dialogue when they’re staring into the warm embrace of boobies, apparently.

I'm a fan of "Baywatch" and I didn't watch for boobs.

This article is complete crap.

I didn't expect Star Trek Voyager to be on the list

That's an understatement.

How could Three's Company not be on that list?

Even John Ritter was a boob.

Hard to believe that some of the 1970s "jiggle shows," led by Three's Company and Charlies Angels, aren't on there.

Or Ghost Whisperer:

MWC
Dancing With The Stars that and potential beaver shots
Three's Company
Baywatch watching that show for the story is the equivilant of reading Hustler for the insightful articles
Beverly Hills 90210
Hee Haw
Just about every show set on a beach or ski resort

Yeah, I'm really surprised that Three's Company didn't make the list. Chrissy was always bouncing around and you could tell she definitely had no bra on!

The article writer probably hasn't watched any shows older than Baywatch or Married With Children.

The ratings took off once Jeri Ryan (7 of 9) joined the cast.
