I can’t recall him ever coming close, except perhaps with the slave girl in the gladiator episode – and in that case, I strongly suspect she was in similar straits as the Mila Kunis character in The Book of Eli. Also, in the episode with the telekinetics perverts and Dr. Lovelace, Kirk was fighting NOT to do anything to or with Uhura. If the TPs had forced them to have sex, it would have been rape, but by the TPs, not by Kirk. He was pretty much a living dildo to them.
er, I said in Post 18 that on closer inspection, according to the OP, he’s out of the running. So, few-to-no sexual assualts. I withdraw him for consideration.
ISTM that particularly with MAS*H part of the conceit was to present the battlefield setting as leading to a forming of an alternate morals environment more similar to c. 1970 subculture than to 1950s Army officers (because the TV show was of course not about the 1950s, really). The nurses tended to either welcome or laugh off Hawkeye’s advances. With Happy Days it would be sort of an unironic evocation (again through a 1970s prism) of an idealized version of the social norms of the age – the sort of thing that we now look at critically in Mad Men, for instance. I’d bet quite a few 1950s girls getting harassed that way would have administered some slaps or else gone to look for their big brothers to come and teach the boys what is and isn’t a funny gag. (However at the same time I can get it that in this cases there was no mens rea for assault, the characters would have been honestly just driving the plot point “don’t be uptight”.)
Yeah, Secret Agents were a Special Case. Austin Powers’ “do I make you horny” gag does bring up how your average pop superspy in the presence of a female fellow agent, enemy henchwoman, or incidental passerby would given enough time provoke her to just throw herself at him.
In the book Goldfinger, Bond pretty clearly rapes Pussy Galore. (And she loves it so much, she switches loyalties, betrays Goldfinger, loves Bond, etc. Ick.)
In the movie the matter is handled a little more tastefully.
(One of the most outstanding examples I know of the movie being much better than the book.)
Re: Family Feud (thanks, Jack Batty!) – for those who don’t know, host Richard Dawson kissed pretty much every (majority-age?) female contestant. “Consensual,” except maybe kind of a forced condition for appearing on the show (?).
Rescue Me.
Tommy and Janet had a very, uh, aggressive sex life. IIRC, he pretty much raped his wife at least twice, and Sheila drugged Tommy when he refused her advances, didn’t she?
