**Dragnet**. Only two regular cast members, neither one a looker. The suspects, witnesses and victims were a different story, I guess.

I’ll second **Homicide** (Season 1 only). Half the cast was somewhat pretty (Isabella Hoffman, Daniel Baldwin, Andre Braugher, Kyle Secor, Zelko Ivanek). The other half (Belzer, Kotto, Beatty, whoever played Crocetti and Barnefather) was downright nightmare-inducing.

Wise decision. Nothing mentioned so far would beat _On The Buses._

Remember Rue McClanahan on the show before she got her face lift? :eek:

Afterwards- WOW!
