TV in general does it, it's show biz. But, there's lots of stories about how the wardrobe rooms at Fox only had short skirts and they used far more revealing leg shots than any other network. Ex female employees and guests have talked about it. There hasn't been anyone remotely like Candy Crowley at Fox.
