Shop Erotic! was a late-night adult toy home-shopping show that aired on Oxygen from 2006 to 2010.[1][2][3] The show would air its episodes on a weekly basis from 11:00 pm - 12:00 am and would mostly feature two hosts that were formerly from Playboy TV, Miyoko Fujimori-Rifkin and Andrea Lowell throughout the rest of 2007-2010.[4]

History and Background

Shop Erotic! was officially launched on January 29th, 2006. The Shop Erotic! trademarks, as well as the heart-shaped logo and paperwork detailing more information in regards to the company and show were both filed by iTelevision owner Mitchell Cohen[5][6]. The website was also launched around the same month along with their TV program that would get picked up by Oxygen during mid-2006 after airing on Dish Network for a couple of months.[7]

Around the time of the program's launch, the people who were in charge of the Shop Erotic! operations would hire former Playboy TV host Miyoko Fujimori-Rifkin and radio host Tiffany Granath. This would last for the first few episodes until they decided to replace Tiffany with another host[8], before officially replacing her with another Playboy TV alumni Andrea Lowell throughout the rest of the program's episodes.

All of the episodes that aired were an hour long and also aired on their old Shop Erotic! website in the "Live TV" section. The show would document and promote some of the adult toy products that were featured on Shop Erotic!'s website, as an alternative to the Adam and Eve adult-toy website. According to Cohen, Shop Erotic aired to over 65 million viewers via Dish Network and DirectTV.

Unfortunately, all episodes from that timeframe have not surfaced. It was late determined that the number was constantly prank-called by viewers who were watching the episodes, and this happened to be true when there were videos online on YouTube when some people would prank call the place. This would be the only remaining footage from the Miyoko/Andrea era of Shop Erotic! available, and that also includes their old website as well via Internet Archive, which does not have any more information regarding the products.[9]

Availability

In February 2021, it was discovered that a blogger captured some high-quality pictures from a November 2008 episode, in which Miyoko and Andrea discuss certain products that included a red Jackrabbit vibrator. But sadly, the person who made the blog did not provide the entire episode.[10] Adding to this, the website had a collection of clips and episodes from the previous years, but unfortunately, those episodes/clips were not archived and were in MOV files.[11]

On June 28th, 2021, a YouTube video surfaced from one of the Shop Erotic! episodes that showed an adult toy known as "Aria's Pleaser". This is the first known high-quality video clip from the program that has surfaced online.[12]

On August 17th, 2021, at least four informative clips surfaced via MEGA. These are the only working MOV files taken from Shop Erotic's website in 2006.[13][14]

On December 10th, 2022, clips from an iTelevision-related erotic show similar to Shop Erotic titled "Intimate TV" would be found on YouTube.[15]

In August 2023, a 2-minute potato-quality video recorded from a cell phone that contains a clip from a Shop Erotic episode surfaced. Months later, in January 2024, more cell phone potato-quality clip videos were surfaced.[16][17][18]

Cancellation

Only a year after Shop Erotic! aired on Oxygen, on September 12th, 2008, the company got into a lawsuit regarding an unknown complaint that could have been related in regards to the content that they were airing. The lawsuit lasted until May 2010, and in August of that same year, Miyoko stopped hosting the show after she stepped down from her role as the main host. The show would rebrand itself with a new logo, and continued the program with Andrea and a new main host, before being canceled sometime in 2013. [19][20] 3 years later, they would host a temporary show that was known as Play With Me TV, which only had 3 videos on Miyoko's YouTube channel.
