Argus was a Norwegian debate show hosted by Mona Høiness, that aired on TV3.

In the summer of 1993 Høiness threatened to quit her job as a host in protest of TV3 airing the show Bikini, an American show featuring scantily-clad women on a podium surrounded by cheering men. Høiness didn't want that kind of entertainment on a channel she was a host on. Shortly after TV3 decided to cancel Bikini. (Source: Hvem hva hvor 1994 p. 316)
