Undressed is a MTV series that premiered in 1999 for their late night block, created by Roland Joffé. The series is part anthology, part Soap Opera that focuses on the love lives and sexual escapades of teens and young adults in Los Angeles. The series lasted 3 years, ending in 2002 with a reboot currently stuck in Development Hell.Each episode had three stories; some plotlines would end in 3-4 episodes and a fresh plot and group of actors would take over and some stories were continued through the season. The show is known for employing actors of varying acting ability; some actors were great, others not so much.Undressed is infamous for its frank discussion of sex and sexuality, as well showing a lot of fanservice from both men and women and sex scenes that pushed what could be shown on basic cable. On the positive side, this was only of the few shows in the late 90's and the Turn of the Millennium to portray gay and lesbian relationships and avoiding But Not Too Gay when it came to affection and sex scenes. Also, the series was pretty progressive at the time in regards to kink, as one episode contained a fair representation of the Furry Fandom.Undressed is also known for being a hub of Retroactive Recognition and being the acting start of many actors such as Dante Basco, Christina Hendricks, Jason David Frank (who actually worked alongside fellow Power Rangers actor Alyson Kiperman for an episode), Brandon Routh, Pedro Pascal, J. August Richards, Jerry Trainor, Max Greenfield, Chad Michael Murray, Katee Sackhoff, Diane Mizota, and Beth Riesgraf, to name a few.Not to be confused with another MTV show that aired in 2017, also named Undressed except that was a reality TV dating show.

Verbed Title: Referencing how that state is a requirement for most sex, and it features frank discussion of sex and sexuality, as well showing a lot of fanservice from both men and women and sex scenes that pushed what could be shown on basic cable.

Gay Guy Seeks Popular Jock
 Undressed / int_92a4391c
comment
Gay Guy Seeks Popular Jock: In one episode, former high school geek is hit on and makes out with the (closeted) former high school jock that tormented him. His Fag Hag teases him about it being the ultimate fantasy of bedding a jock, which he admits. Inverted in another episode, where a popular football player, Henry, is more open about being gay than his insecure nerd boyfriend, Brian. Meanwhile, another closeted football player, Nate, is trying to break them up because he wants to be with his teammate. But Henry actually loves the fact that he and Brian are so different and is determined to hold onto him.

Gaydar: A woman in college is concerned that her boyfriend isn't sleeping with her, so she goes to a gay friend who, after asking her a few questions about her, decides that he is definitely straight.

Mistaken for Subculture: One plot saw a woman mistaking a guy who wears a panda costume as part of his job as a Furry, and asking him out. She later shows off her own fursuit, a squirrel. Despite being unnerved, the two eventually hit it off and compromise with her fetish and his fetish.

Soap Wheel: There were always three storylines: high schoolers, college students, and adults in their twenties. Each season was self-contained, consisting of several dozen episodes, and especially in later seasons, all stories across age groups were in continuity with each other. Stories were of different durations, with starts and ends staggered, apart from all stories starting in the first episode and all stories ending in the final episode of the season. When a story would end, a new story would start in the same age group, often by shifting focus to a minor character featured in a previous story.

But Not Too Gay: Averted for both gay and lesbian storylines; surprising considering the time period it premiered in.

All Gays are Promiscuous
 Undressed / int_fed441ad
comment
All Gays are Promiscuous: One gay character (who seemed to be trying to "convert" his roommate) explain this as something of a perk for being gay. His logic was while women are conditioned from a young age not to put out, guys are conditioned/encouraged to be more promiscuous and thus have less reluctance to sex in general, ergo it's easier to have sex if you're a gay man than a straight man because the target is more willing.
