- Yearly series produced by the Playboy Channel. A group of men and women compete in this contest to see who is voted the best male and female stripper of the year. Each contestant does a routine set to music and starts out in costume (policeman, for example). The order of contestants alternates back-and-forth between female and male competitors, and the contestants strip down to their G-strings (so no one gets entirely naked in this contest). Winners were determined by a panel of judges. Lyle Waggoner co-hosted the festivities and introduced the female strippers, while his female co-host introduced the men.
- A middle-aged woman going through a divorce takes her daughter to a summer lodge, where she finds herself competing with her daughter for the lodge's handyman.
- A 1979 ABC-TV prime time special hosted by Richard Dawson at the Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills. Music by Donna Summer, Anita Ward, The Village People, Sister Sledge, David Naughton and many more.
- Playboy Video Magazine was literally a video version of the publication. It included candid celebrity interviews, video editorials, the trademark playmate pictorials, interwoven with commercial parodies and short comedy sketches. The series also covered trends in media; sex, politics, culture, and pop culture.

She just wants a good-looking older man with some money and a nice car and manners. Is that too much to ask from a Tinder date? Apparently so. KC tells us how people on the internet aren't always truthful about their appearances. Also included in KC's tale, freshly baked donuts, a copy of Catch-22, and manual gratification. Let us know what your Tales of Tinder are in the comments. Like the video for more tales.
- Sid Caesar and The Grateful Dead appear. The latter perform "Mountains of the Moon" and "St. Stephen."
- The Collage sing. The Checkmates are back again, they perform. Don Rickles is the main attraction. Cosby wanders about, sitting in with the band playing the bongos. Shecky Greene does some comedy bits. Attorney Melvin Belli talks. Not the most memorable of shows.
- The first 12 minutes of the show are given over to a hypnotist. Yawn. John Hartford performs. The hippie vibe is strong in this one. Hef is trying hard to be hip. Gore Vidal joins Hugh in the library for a stimulating conversation. Well, not really. Three Dog Night does a couple tunes. Unfortunately, this is before they became a hit machine and the tunes are rather forgettable. There are a few more songs, a few more jokes and the show mercifully comes to a close.
- A rather forgettable show, the highlights being Hugh and friends briefly playing Twister, fully clothed of course. Bob Newhart does a routine and is then forced to watch a clip of himself on Hef's old Playboy's Penthouse program from the Fifties which was allegedly Newhart's first ever television performance. Bill Cosby playing stand up bass with the band.
- Excellent show starts off with Jackie DeShannon lip syncing a couple of songs from her newly released album Laurel Canyon. Live or syncing, Jackie was great and unbelievably she is backed up by a young, nerdy Barry White on vocals. Marty Engels does a comedy routine, Jim Brown pontificates quite eloquently on race relations, movies and projects for the ghetto while Bill Cosby wanders through the entire program wearing a bathrobe. Taj Mahal steals the show with a truly live set. The legendary Jessie Ed Davis backs him on lead guitar. Taj and the band play out an instrumental over the closing credits.
- Jazz and Blues performers dominate this show. James Cotton and his band reel off a pair of fine songs as does Joe Williams and Sue Raney. Buddy Rich does his usual excellent turn on the drums. Pat McCormick, who was a lead writer and sometime performer on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson from 72 to 81 does a turn on the couch telling jokes.
- Shelly Berman opens the show with Hef. David Steinberg does comedy on the couch, the same kind of stuff that helped get the Smothers Brothers cancelled, but nobody was watching this show. The Times Square Two do a comic-music set. Buddy Miles is back with his band. Joannie Sommers sings. Low Rawls closes the show with a solid set.
- Jack Carter and Soupy Sales joke around. Three Dog Night perform Celebrity Ball with an invisible band. Man, were they good. Not to be outdone, James Brown brings along his invisible band as well. Cosby sits on the edge of the couch. How exciting.
- Five years before Jesus Christ Superstar, a very young Ted Neely, billed as Teddy, sings. Comic Jack E. Leonard may have been the most obnoxious comedian of all time. Cosby sits on the couch beside him. Jefferson Airplane wannabe MC Squared plays. Pete Seeger talks ecology and sings. Carmen MacRae sings.
- Beloved children's entertainer Shari Lewis opens the festivities with an adult routine from Lamb Chop. Truly weird. Makes you hope she ran that sock puppet through the rinse cycle a few times before she let her entertain kids again. Highlight of the show is Canned Heat. Bob Hite does a song and then Al Wilson goes into On The Road Again. Academic Max Lerner actually engages Hef in an intelligent conversation about the sexual revolution. Buddy Greco closes the show.
- A strange show with a mixed bag of a cast. Bill Cosby does a routine and spends the rest of the show lurking at the edges of the action, occasionally offering comments that come off as more obnoxious than incisive. Songwriter Shel Silverstein gives a rendition on the acoustic guitar of his tune The Unicorn that was popularized by the Irish Rovers. Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers lip syncs a couple of songs. Classic rock band Iron Butterfly sets up on the live stage and then lip syncs as well. Hef talks religion with a theologian in the library. The show closes out with Cosby leading the Butterfly in an instrumental tune he calls the Fat Albert. Silverstein leaps on Cosby's back as the credits roll. Gawd what crazy stuff. If this is how the hip people played in 1969 you start to wonder if it wasn't more fun at Bob Hope's house.
- Lenny Bruce's mother talks about her son and Hugh shows clips of the late comedian. Comic-musician Pete Barbutti plays the broom and does other bits. The magnificent Marvin Gaye shows up but appears to be only lip syncing. Classic comedy ensemble The Committee perform, but Howard Hesseman is nowhere in sight. The most recognizable member is Barbara Bosson who would star in Hill Street Blues a decade later. The highlight of the show is the Byrds. This is the lineup with Clarence White on lead guitar. The numbers include two Dylan songs, You Ain't Goin' Nowhere and Wheels On Fire. Clarence lays down some spectacular licks and Roger McGuinn is in fine voice. Barbi Benton sits in front of the band during their performance. It's early in the show and she's not yet Hef's co-host.
- The Grass Roots do Bella Linda and they're either lip syncing or they have a string section hidden out somewhere. They also mime Midnight Confessions. The great Billy Eckstine also appears to be syncing. What a shame. He does perform live at a later date with Linda Ronstadt. Director Paul Mazursky joins Hef in the library for a discussion. Rich Little does a bit. Pianist-singer Bobby Doyle actually performs live.
- Frankie Randall sings. The Chicago Second City comedy troop performs. Cast members include Valerie Harper and Paul Sand. Pat Morita, yet to graduate to full-time actor, does standup. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band play a lively set. Shelly Berman adds more comedy and Lou Rawls sings magnificently.
- Petticoat Junction actress Meredith MacRae sings Going Out Of My Head. Her husband, Greg Mullavey talks. A young Michael Caine expounds on his latest movie. Mort Sahl does comedy. Doug Sahm and the Sir Douglas Quartet do their classic songs Mendocino and She's About A Mover. Augie Meyers is on the keys. The Clara Ward and Her Gospel Singers close out the show.
- Singers Johnny Mathis and Nadia Christian lip syncing a couple of tunes. Mort Sahl gives a short, extremely misogynistic monologue and basketball star Bill Russell pontificates on race relations. Comic Corbett Monica does a gay bashing routine to top off the festivities. My how the times have changed. The best part is the Chambers Brothers actually performing live. Their tunes that I Wish It Would Rain live. These shows are basically Hef's home movies with the clothes on. It brings back fond memories of his magazine of the era, over priced, pretentious nonsense, but makes for a wonderful time capsule.
- Skiles and Henderson do comedy. Joanne Vent does an extended set. John Kay and Steppenwolf perform. The great Joe Williams sings a duet with Joanne Vent. Joey Bishop entertains. Joe Williams closes out the show and outperforms everyone. Amazing voice, talent and presence.
- Deep Purple- Hush. Don Adams discusses flying, golf, etc. David Hemming and his new bride Gail Hunnicutt is interviewed.
- The daft Professor Irwin Corey dominates this show with his inane ramblings. I expect he was never invited back to any Playboy function after this performance. Steppenwolf and John Kay make it worth wading through the nonsense with amazing renditions of Sookie and Born To Be Wild before it became the iconic song it did. George Plimpton plays 3-D tic-tac-toe with Hugh and expounds on his strange career as a participation journalist until Corey staggers in to disrupt the conversation. Tony Bennett closes out the show with a solid set.
