The cheesiest magazine I've ever seen is Playgirl. And I can now say the same for this video. Playgirl on the Air suffers from inept production qualities, pseudo-porn scenes in the guise of viewer/reader "fantasies", and silly "solicited" testimony from teenage girls and elderly couples.

I suppose the highlight of the video are the three male centerfolds, but the poses, camera work and lingering crotch shots border on the offensive. I expect Playgirl thinks this is what most women will be looking for.

Other segments (remember, this is a video magazine) include, "Men of California," "Rear Views," and celebrity interviews (my favorite), with such luminaries as Mark Harmon, Dr. Bobby Caldwell of St. Elsewhere and Geraldine Ferraro. Boy, what a coup! Still, I've never imagined asking such questions as they did.

In comparison to other videotaped magazines, Playgirl pales. Either one of two things will happen: this will be the first and last tape, or a new production crew will be brought in next time (hopefully). Is this tape for you? If you think Playgirl is the media's gift to the repressed society of women (as they would have us believe), then you'll love this tape. Or, if you love watching handsome nude men strutting their stuff, give it a try. After all, there is a place for cheesy beefcake in this world.
