    Recently an episode of Without a Trace was a really good one. Yet I was slightly wierded out by an episode of the Japanese game show Banzai in which they had 5 little girls lined up and you had to pick out the boy.

    Default images of tgs

    Let's not forget probably the greatest proponent of tgs in film: Pedro Almodóvar. While occasionally not positive images (father in All About My Mother, a character in Bad Education-I won't say which cuz it might spoil the film), Pedro has always featured tgs, including one of the most beautiful in creation, the great Bibi Andersen, who is so accepted in Spain that she appears on variey shows on tv and her love life is covered just like anyone else's in People type magazines.

    Wow, everyone here watches the same movies. You guys don't watch Brazilian or Cuban films? I can't even begin to mention the amount of films made that feature tgirls as the main heroines.
