How DO these characters get laid as often as they do?

@ftg

Geoge Costanza dated Krista Miller twice (as different characters) so he and JD have that in common. He also went out with Cuddy from House but I don’t think House or Wilson have gotten that chummy with Cuddy. (And what does that say?) Tara Reid also dated the Soup Nazi on Scrubs but he was supposedly the actor playing himself. (But no one seems to have dated the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld.) Poor Ted isn’t shown getting a girl in either show. The Janitor seems to have only dated “Lady” in Scrubs land and was just a cop on the street on Seinfeld. The scary fatigues wearing guy on Seinfeld pined for a nice Jewish girl to date but no word on his situation as a surgeon on Scrubs. Mike the phony-dishing bookie aka the head of radiology (“Mine, mine, mine!”) has no apparent love life.

In short, TV land is a small world. Limited dating pool. More Teds and Janitors than JDs and Jerrys.

Sounds like the basis for a new version of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.

Ted made out with Danni at the Turks’ wedding, and also took the terminally ill patient’s virginity when that was her wish before dying.

Word is, Ted was like a stallion!

Brian on Queer as Folk- he’s certainly good looking, but not traffic stopping drop dead gorgeous by any means and he’s a self-obsessed overly cynical bastard to people who meets.

Heh, yeah, I always said that the actor was playing a hot looking character.

My vote is Greg Grunberg.

[kimera]

Are you guys kidding about Brian from QaF? I think he’s beyond sexy. Most of the women I introduce to that show agree with me too.

Ack, how could I have forgotten that 2nd one!

Denis Leary’s character on Rescue Me. He’s not hot, and he’s a jerk, but he gets way more women than the attractive guys in the firehouse.

I gotta take issue with this one. We have a regular weekly droolathon here at work while Rescue Me is on where we take a few minutes on Wednesday mornings to discuss the hotness that is Denis Leary. Total asshole, yes, but we’d all do him in a heartbeat.

[Annie-Xmas]

Top of the list should be Charlie Harper from Two and A Half Men. The guy is an alcoholic, spends everything he makes, doesn’t have a steady job, has no fashion sense whatsoever, has an annoying brother and nephew living with him, and has the mother from hell.

And yet he is getting laid?

[Hazle_Weatherfield]

But, he IS hot and you get the idea that he’s pretty talented in the bedroom. Plus he’s got that sweet house and lots of money. That probably does the trick for a lot of the ladies he runs into.

Not to nitpick, but JD never actually slept with Heather Graham or Keri Russell. He sure did try, but failed to reach home plate.

I noted in the OP that he didn’t have sex with all the women pictured, but only made out with some.

@The_Second_Stone

Dorian is truly despicable. It’s a wonder more of his patients don’t die horrible deaths.His sense of humor is his only redeeming characteristic.

It’s sort of an Informed Attribute, but JD is supposed to be a fairly talented doctor; Eliot described him as the golden boy, Cox praised him to the high heavens during intern evaluations (advised Kelso not to fire JD when the latter was being particularly annoying) and Carla’s pointed out that Cox is invested in JD’s success. Cox abuses him so much because he teachesa through fear and because he can’t stand JD personally because he’s so needy; if JD could be as cool-headed around Cox as Turk is, they’d be friends.

[Skald_the_Rhymer]

@chrisk

Yeah, in addition to some of the co-stars from the original list, (Sarah and Mandy,) he’s apparently dated in real life:
Bonnie Sommerville
Kirsten Dunst
Drew Barrymore
Shiri Appleby
and Rachel Bilson

And apparently his name is spelled Zach Braff

My argument is that JD’s success with women is improbable, Braff’s. With JD, it’s the combination and average looks & horrible personality that make it hard to believe. I’m reliably informed that Braff is charming and personable.

@msmith537

George? How about Jerry Seinfeld?

Julia Louis Dreyfus (to save the friendship)
Teri Hatcher (They’re real and spectacular)
Jami Gertz (couldn’t spare a sqare)
Jennifer Coolidge (wouldn’t submit to forcable massage)
Courtney Cox (abused dry cleaning discount)
Janeane Garofalo (too much like him)
Christine Taylor (the loser)
Kristin Davis (toothbrush)
Amanda Peete (lived with a fella’)
Debra Messing (was a Nazi)
Marcia Cross (pimple popper)

Yes, came here to say him.

Ron Jeremy.

@Lamia

Of course in real life Zack Braff is a celebrity and may seem more attractive to some women for that reason alone, but his character is a doctor and that can’t hurt. I’m not a regular Scrubs watcher, but I don’t think he was in long-term relationships with most of those women. I don’t find it implausible that a few attractive woman might think “He’s kind of cute, kind of funny, AND a doctor, so I’ll give him a chance” and then later decide he wasn’t worth it.

As a side anecdote, when I was in college there were a few med students in my dorm. One had a ratty med school t-shirt…with internal organs on it and such. We gave him crap for going out in it.

He responded something like “You don’t know the power of this shirt. Try it sometime”.

Some did try it and came back gushing about its ‘powers’. Finally, I had to try it and sure enough…it works.

So, the fact he is a doctor helps him tremendously with attractive women does not raise my eyebrows.

I’d agree that this was true through the first three seasons. But since then, with what the writers have turned JD into, I’m truly amazed he can dress himself in the morning.

That’s what I mean by informed attribute. He’s SUPPOSED to be a good doctor, but we never see evidence of it as we do with Eliot.

With the possible exception of Christopher, I nominate the entire male cast of the Sopranos. Blech. Fat, bald, rude, crass, mean, violent, mentally unbalanced - but loaded!

@RickJay

Drew Carey on “The Drew Carey Show” had a rather higher-than-believable number of absurdly hot girlfriends.

But he also spent most of his time being single, and had several not-absurdly-hot girlfriends. Sure, no way he’d bag Kate, but he’s not at all in the running for the championship in the absurdly laid category.
