==Examples of camp==
Camp may best be explained to those unfamiliar with the concept of camp through the use of examples. However, these examples do not distinguish between intentional and unintentional camp, which may violate the notion of camp being self-referential. Television shows such as ''[[The Brady Bunch]]'', ''[[Leave It to Beaver]]'', ''[[Dragnet (drama)|Dragnet]]'', ''[[The Lawrence Welk Show]]'', ''[[Hee Haw]],'' ''[[Sing Along with Mitch]]'', ''[[Get Smart]],'', ''[[Laugh-In]],'' ''[[Gilligan's Island]]'', ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]],'' ''[[The Love Boat]]'', ''[[Saved by the Bell]]'', ''[[The Monkees]]'', [[Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In]] and ''[[The Dukes of Hazzard]]'' are often cited as examples of camp.
TV soap operas, especially those that air in primetime, are also considered camp. The excess of ''[[Dynasty (TV series)|Dynasty]]'' and ''[[Dallas (TV series)| Dallas]]'' in the 1980's to ''[[Desperate Housewives]]'' in the 2000's, soaps became "chic". In the 1990's, dramas reached a new height with shows that included ''[[Melrose Place]]'', ''[[Beverly Hills 90210]]'', ''[[Charmed]]'', ''[[Felicity]]'' and ''[[Dawson's Creek]]''.
