"Gilgamesh" was a pioneering and long-running example of the late-night sex-oriented programming popular on Japanese television during the 1990s. The show was in the format of a
talk show , with the talk focusing on sex. Break-away segments peppered the conversation, including such skits as "Bathtub Cinema", in which a nude young woman in a bathtub reviewed a current film; "Lingerie Photo Break", a photo session with a scantily-clothed or nude model; and "No-Panty Pub Report", in which the television crew would visit a Tokyo bar featuring waitresses "sans" undergarments.
