Playboy Videos are videos released by Playboy Enterprises, Inc., the publishers of Playboy magazine. The first videos were titled "Playboy Video Magazine" and 12 volumes were produced during the years 1982–1987. They borrowed the format of the magazine itself and included interviews, essays, journalism, and pictorials of beautiful women.
Calendars
In 1987 the magazine format was dropped and replaced by the video playmate calendar series which focused on the playmates themselves and did not try to imitate the content of the magazine. Although the months assigned to the playmates in the videos are not the same as the months in which they appear in the magazine, all playmates from 1987 have appeared in a playmate video calendar. Playmates of the year have also appeared in a special video profile dedicated just to themselves.
Each video begins with an announcer saying:
"Since 1958 Playboy calendars have been prized collector's items. Over the years Playmates have appeared in this favorite form of pinup art. Now for your home viewing pleasure, Playboy continues this tradition, as the playmates come alive in this edition of the" [year] "playmate video calendar."
Each playmate then appears in two vignettes.
