Girls, The - Chicago magazine writer Hannah Miller (Jamie Lee Curtis) from the sitcom ANYTHING BUT LOVE/ABC/1989-92 was especially proud of her breasts. She nicknamed them "The Girls." On the July 18, 1997 segment of the daytime talk show OPRAH called "Letters to Oprah" Oprah Winfrey read fan reactions to her comments about her desire to have her breasts lifted. She summarized their concerns with "Some encourage a lift...others say to leave 'The Girls' alone."

Breasts have been called by other names on a variety of TV shows.

• On June 19, 1997 Jay Leno of THE TONIGHT SHOW commented on Glamour magazine's revelation that many more women than it was thought actually named their breasts. He followed by complaining "Oh great!
