USA network has some of my favorite TV shows these days, including lots of hot chick “characters” (in keeping with their tag-line of “characters wanted”). So, which of the USA Babes are the hottest, in your opinion? Two of my favorites include: Divya from _Royal Pains_, especially when she’s wearing those sexy glasses (why? Because I think intelligent babes in glasses are hot) Fiona from _Burn Notice,_ especially when she’s got her hands wrapped around the barrel of a rifle. (why? Because I find dangerous chicks hot) There are others, of course, but those two are my very favorites. What are yours?..TRM ---

Lt. Wheeler from **Law & Order: Criminal Intent**. Love the freckles. Ditch Jeff Goldblum, make Wheeler the primary, give her a sexy female sidekick and we’d have a non-Goren show I’d actually enjoy! ---

Juliet O’Hara from Psych. I love the girl next door look. Fiona’s lips scare me. ---

Ditch Jeff Goldblum, make Wheeler the primary, give her a sexy female sidekick and we’d have a non-Goren show I’d actually enjoy! Julianne Nicholson is indeed a hottie (check her out in _Tully_ to see her acting chops, too), to which I’d add Jill Flint & Meredith Hagner from _Royal Pains_. ---

I always thought Bitty Schramm as Sharona from Monk was pretty hot. And she probably still is, I’ll wait and see when she shows up again later in the season. but after seeing Traylor Howard in that backless red number in “Mr. Monk Is Someone Else,” I think I’ll reconsider. ---

> [@Tim\_R.Mortiss](#): > > Oh yeah, I forgot about Jill Flint. She looks like she should be Famke Janssen’s younger sister. [Agree.](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1543216/) Mary McCormack was better-looking in her West Wing days. Something’s off-putting about her lips now. Don’t know what. Fiona from Burn Notice was much better-looking circa [this](http://www.imdb.com/media/rm937532416/tt0106941). Too bony now, needs some baby fat. ---

It would probably be an overstatement to describe Traylor Howard as “hot.” Nevertheless, I do find her to be the most appealing gal that I’ve ever seen on the USA network. ---

> [@JThunder](#): > > It would probably be an overstatement to describe Traylor Howard as “hot.” Nevertheless, I do find her to be the most appealing gal that I’ve ever seen on the USA network. As Natalie Teeger, she’s not intended to be hot.
