Video magazine series
The first twelve videos, titled Playboy Video Magazine, were produced during the years 1982–1987. They borrowed the format of the magazine itself and included interviews, essays, feature articles, and pictorials of naked women.
Calendar series In 1987 the magazine format was dropped and replaced by the video Playmate calendar series which focused on the Playmates themselves. Playmates Brooke Berry, Shannon Stewart, Neferteri Shepherd, and Kristi Cline A Playmate is a female model featured in Playboy magazine as Playmate of the Month (or PMOM). ...
Each video begins with the voice of Neil Ross, the narrator for most of Playboy's productions, 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.”

The video profile of a Playmate is shot at the same time that her magazine centerfold and pictorial are photographed. These usually consist of three or four vignettes reflecting the personality and persona of the Playmate and an interview is also conducted at the same time to serve as in introduction to her viewers. Two of the vignettes are then chosen to be included in the calendar. The very first playmate to appear in a playmate video calendar was Cherie Witter, Miss January 1987 (having been Miss February 1985 in the magazine). It has been suggested that Personality psychology be merged into this article or section. ...

In the early video Playmate calendars, a significant amount of time was given to each Playmate to introduce herself. Two or three minutes were spent on describing her aspirations and ideal man. Later videos quickly dispatch with character development and cut to the chase, with the Playmates saying only a few sentences about themselves.
Playboy has begun releasing collections of the video calendars under the title Playmate DVD Calendar Collection. Currently, two have been released: The '90s (which also includes the 1987 - 1989 video calendars as a "bonus", and 2000 - 2005. These collect the video calendars, but do not include the bonus features that the later DVD calendars had, only the main feature.
Playmate of the Year video centerfolds Every year, a Playmate of the Year (PMOY) is chosen by Playboy magazine. At the same time as the PMOY photo shoot, a video is filmed to commemorate the occasion. The scenes in the video are filmed in the same style as the calendar profiles and include interviews not only with the Playmate herself but also sometimes her family and the photographers who shot the pictorials.

Sexy Lingerie series Playboy launched its Sexy Lingerie series in 1988, featuring Playmates and other models in lingerie. In the earlier titles of the series, Playmates were shown in static poses which, although artistic, tended to make them appear distant. Sexy Lingerie II–VI continued where the first video left off.
