Can you define “desirable”? Do you mean in a romantic way, or in a “this is a really meaty role” way?

Not sure how to word it, then. Ideas?

Also I think it makes more sense to list the actor/actress instead of the role. So mine should be:

1. Valerie Bertinelli, One Day at a Time

IMHO, Buffy had the hawtest female cast in history. I could just as easily put Anya down, but didn’t remember the actresses name.
