> [@Stauderhorse](#): > > Gotta go with _House_. With the exception, IMO, of Taub and Chase, pretty much all of the main characters are smokin’ hot. CHASE? ARE YOU BLIND??? :eek: He’s a ‘10’ in a field of '5’s. Last season House greeted Cameron “oh, here’s the second prettiest Dr. Chase”. so shook up I forgot to mention - from the past - the cast of the space opera Andromeda. Everyone was fabulous looking, fabulously dressed, and had fabulous hair. ---

> [@salinqmind](#): > > CHASE? ARE YOU BLIND??? :eek: He’s a ‘10’ in a field of '5’s. Last season House greeted Cameron “oh, here’s the second prettiest Dr. Chase”. Eh, he’s just too generically pretty boy for me. Plus, he seems to have a vaguely [pissed-off](http://comunidad.universalchannel.tv/blogs/dr_house/Jesse%20Spencer.jpg) look on his face all the time. ---

> [@](#): > > How about Firefly? I can’t speak for the male cast members but Morena Baccarin, Summer Glau, Jewel Staite, and Gina Torres - that’s a hot-looking group of women. Very true, and I don’t know why I didn’t mention it. Kaylee vs. Inara is so much more interesting than the old question of Ginger vs. Mary-Ann, since it’s possible for a sane man to prefer either. And Zoe isn’t bad, either, if you’re into the warrior-woman type. River was a little too young and a lot too crazy for my tastes, though. ---

The best looking cast I’ve seen is Entourage - Every scene has ample eye candy in the fore and background ---

[Friday Night Lights](http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/3200000/Friday-Night-Lights-cast-friday-night-lights-3241935-2000-1306.jpg) is my pick. Even the parental figures (Coach and Tami) are gorgeous, though the young cast is exceptional. It also happens to be a great show. ---

Anyone watch the Mentalist? I have such a crush on Amanda Righetti, and I’ve always liked Robin Tunney. Can’t speak to the guys. Speaking of Amanda Righetti, I’m annoyed I never watched Reunion since it apparently starred both her and Alexa Davalos. I may have to torrent it. ---

I watch Mentalist. Pretty much for the same reason I watch Castle - the eye candy. (although Robin Tunney is so irritating she’s hard to ignore). Sometimes after a long day of work & parenting a teenager, eye candy is the ONLY reason I watch tv. Thank goodness there’s lots of it these days - & I don’t even get cable. But I do love to watch those pretty people on Lost & House (mmm Sawyer; mmm Chase). You know Criminal Minds has a darn attractive cast too. ---

> [@](#): > > In my defense, Glau was twenty-one when she did the show. Staite is actually a year younger than Glau. Oh, I’m not judging anyone for finding her hot. It’s just that, first, I only know Summer Glau as River, and the character is young. And second, even if she was a year older than Jewell Staite, she _looks_ younger. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > And second, even if she was a year older than Jewell Staite, she _looks_ younger. The way I see it, if the judge won’t accept “she looked over 18, even if she isn’t” as a valid defense, then “she looks under 18, even if she isn’t” shouldn’t be a problem. 😉 ---

I don’t think anyone’s mentioned “Gossip Girl” yet, which is surprising. Between that and “Dollhouse”, I think we have a winner. ---

> [@Small\_Hen](#): > > Supernatural. Yeah, I’m almost embarrassed to tell people I like the show because the cast is so ridiculously good-looking. (The regular cast is also extremely small, which means there’s isn’t a lot of room to create diverse physical appearances.) I swear to god, it’s actually a good show! It’s not just about the eye-candy. ---

The Supermodel figure never really did much for me, but I can see where someone could claim “America’s Next Top Model” would almost have to have the hottest cast. ---

Models don’t represent the feminine beauty ideal; that’s the province of Playboy. Models are selected for the way clothes hang on them. Basically, models aren’t meant to be attractive to straight men; they’re meant to be walking hangers for gay men.
