Sex Appeal.

1970s

In the early 1970s, Cowboys manager Tex Schramm decided to change their image to boost attendance. At first he simply tried hiring professional models, but that did not work due to their lack of athletic ability. He then knew that he needed professional dancers with stamina who would be able to perform through an entire game. He worked with local choreographer Texie Waterman, who was charged with auditioning and training an entirely new and unique squad which would combine an attractive appearance, athletic ability, and talent as performers.[citation needed]

This group, The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, first appeared on the sidelines during the 1972-1973 NFL season.[citation needed]

Even greater national attention came in 1978 when the squad was on two network TV specials, NBC Rock-n-Roll Sports Classicand The Osmond Brothers Special on ABC. In 1978, they had their own hour-long special to launch the season for Monday Night Football.[citation needed]

On 14 January 1979, the made-for-TV movie The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (1979) aired. Starring Jane Seymour, it had a 48% share of the national television audience.[2][3]

What is Debbie does Dallas about?

Debbie Does Dallas is a 1978 pornographic film starring Bambi Woods. The plot of the film focuses on a team of cheerleaders attempting to earn enough money to send the title character to Dallas, Texas, to try out for the famous "Texas Cowgirls" cheerleading squad. The fictional name "Texas Cowgirls" was seen as a take on the real-life Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Woods had previously tried out for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in real-life, but was rejected. The film was highly successful, is regarded as one of the most important releases during the so-called "Golden Age of Porn",and remains one of the best-known pornographic films. Contrary to the title, the film is not set in Dallas nor does the eponymous Debbie "do" anyone in or from Dallas. The movie spawned a number of sequels and spin-offs including Debbie Does New Orleans, Debbie Does Wall Street and Debbie Does Dallas Again.
