History HotterAndSexier / LiveActionTV

* The ''Series/{{Casablanca}}'' TV series is a mild case -- it is certainly more sexually frank than UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode-era original, with bedroom scenes, overt references to prostitution, and revealingly-costumed {{belly dancer}}s.

** Doroty is a beautiful adult woman here. She also has sex with Lucas (a very handsome man), while he's [[ShirtlessScene shown shirtless]] and her [[LingerieScene wearing her bra]] while getting dressed afterward.

** ExecutiveMeddling enforced this on Liz's run as companion. She starts in "Spearhead from Space" in stylish but fairly prim clothes. In "Doctor Who and the Silurians" she was told she had to let her hair down and wear a miniskirt, and they'd wanted her to stay in the miniskirt even though the script involves her going potholing (Creator/JonPertwee thought it was as stupid as she did and intervened). By "Inferno" there's a [[TheBaroness sexy Nazi]] MirrorUniverse Liz as well. Creator/CarolineJohn has implied in interviews that much of this was because the showrunners were intimidated by her real-life intelligence.

** Renly's homosexuality is only alluded into in the books. Its here in all its explicit glory in the series.
** Subverted weirdly enough with Catelyn and Ned. They have one sex scene in the book but again this alluded to only in the series.

* The second season of ''Series/SeaQuestDSV'' replaced several of the members of the cast with characters played by younger, sexier actors. The first season starred Roy Scheider as an older, fatherly captain, with Stephanie Beacham as the "mother" to Scheider's "father" in her role as the ship's physician. Royce Applegate portrayed the ship's sergeant-at-arms, Chief Crocker, as an old sea dog and longtime friend of the captain. Having three fifty-plus actors in the major roles was deemed part of the reason for the show's low ratings, with only Don Franklin, Stacy Haiduk and Marco Sanchez providing conventional attractiveness. Haiduk refused to go along with the producers' wish for more skin from the women and left the series, while John D'Aquino, at 35, was also deemed "too old". While Scheider was kept as the authority figure, the others were replaced by Rosalind Allen (who was one year older than D'Aquino but a full decade younger than Beacham), and twentysomethings Edward Kerr, Kathy Evison and Michael [=DeLuise=]. In addition, Sanchez was given more screentime and allowed to grow his hair into luxurious curls.
