Whoever mentioned Barbara Eden should dig up an old flick called “The Seven Faces of Doctor Lao”. ---

> [@Temporary\_Name](#): > > Julie Bowen is quite attractive, a favorite of mine, and easily the best looking woman on her show (which must piss off her co-stars – some half her age and some known sex symbols). She is one of the few women who has consistently gotten better looking as she aged. She is three and a half (3-1/2) times better looking today than she was in HAPPY GILMORE. Perhaps she has peeked and will start to age (if the painting in her attic is destroyed) but she will have to fall a great deal for me to think of her as anything other than beautiful. > > That being said, Bridget Moynahan as Erin Reagan is the most ideally beautiful woman in the world as far as I can tell. She also seems to be getting better with age. (That is a face I’d like to wake-up to everyday for…well, forever.) I thought Julie Bowen peaked with “Ed” and her co-stars have grown more attractive over time, but I do like her a lot. I’ve always liked Moynahan and thought that she is much more attractive than the world famous model her ex married. ---

[Carol Lynley](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a7/Carol_Lynley_-_1972.jpg) probably appeared in more TV episodes than most of the women listed (just not in the same series, though I think she did do a dozen or so Love Boat episodes). ---

Well…not only is my favorite show “Game of Thrones” the best thing on TV, but it has the market cornered on the plethora of hot women it offers us each week. Plus…we get to see many of them in various stages of undress, going all the way up the scale to full-frontal nudity. Is there ANYthing that GOT does not excel in? If so I have yet to discern it.

As the holiday season approaches, I have noticed that some of the most beautiful women on television are the many perfectly dressed, coiffured, and cosmetically enhanced women who enjoy high-end chocolate treats: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AjFM\_osB\_g](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AjFM_osB_g) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDUMdfH1fjU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDUMdfH1fjU) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n\_G4-wD0J1s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_G4-wD0J1s) > [@actualliberalnotoneofthose](#): > > I thought Julie Bowen peaked with “Ed” and her co-stars have grown more attractive over time, but I do like her a lot. I first noticed her on BOSTON LEGAL; at the time I kept thinking she was just a typical Hollywood blonde, and that I shouldn’t be so intrigued. But I literally could not stop looking at her when she was on screen, even when she was just background. I think she was most attractive to me in the cosmetic commercial that Nicole Kidman now does; the one where product falls off a conveyer belt then the spokeswoman looks directly into the camera and says the tagline. When Nicole Kidman says the line- I am unaffected, but when Julie Bowen used to say it I would feel slightly light headed and had to resist the temptation to jump up and bow toward her. In addition, I love the realistically imperfect character of Claire Dumphy. Now, I have to admit that I SHOULD find Sophia Vergara much more attractive. Almost every woman from my past was her ‘type’ (although they all wished they were more like her than they are), tall and thin, long dark hair with brown eyes, dark complexion (or at least deeply tanned), she does have a pretty face. I can’t explain why I find her so “meh”. I seem to look at her and think—not feel; and what I think is: “Boy, she wouldn’t even be good looking if she didn’t have an army of hair and make-up people, personal trainers, etc.” And I really don’t mind high maintenance women; I usually kind of admire them. It is a mystery to me, but for some reason I am deeply affected by the blonde and indifferent to the brunette. > [@actualliberalnotoneofthose](#): > > I’ve always liked Moynahan and thought that she is much more attractive than the world famous model her ex married. Yes, exactly! And once she and I are a couple, I will be happy to give her ex some pointers on playing the game of football when he comes over to pick-up his kid every other weekend (during the off season). Okay, one last thought: without quoting any portion of my farcical post above, I cannot believe there has not been even one comment about my idea to star Mary Tyler Moore and Diana Rigg as sisters. I lived through that era (although I know both shows better as re-runs), and I can assure you that this show would be a hit!! Especially back when most homes had only one TV and dad always controlled the ‘clicker’. It could have been the very first dramady, on the very leading edge of televised entertainment. Even though it sounds more like a SNL skit now that I think about it, it would have killed in the ratings AND been the darling of the critics. The beauty would have been keeping them as the characters they had already established—just add the back story that the two women are actually sisters. Each episode having some comedy, some suspense and intrigue, let the two universes interact with each other on a human level (THE ORVILLE is pulling it off right now, it could have been done). It would have been as perfect as putting peanut butter into chocolate cups! (Plus, Laura Petrie AND Emma Peel!) ---
