I used to watch “Ally McBeal” just to see that lovely creature, Lucy Liu. Same goes for “Single Guy” and Ming-na. (Would watch “ER” anyway, btw). Now I need to start watching “Smallville” for Lana! ---

I started watching _Birds of Prey_ for the Batman connection, but then I found the show to be quite bad. So then I’d just keep watching it for Ashley Scott (Huntress). Ooh, and Mia Sara was a GREAT Harley Quinn. But really, the show itself was pretty crappy. ---

There used to be this program on TV, which I reffered to as “cute guy programme”. I have no idea what it was called, or even what it was about, i do know it was on a Saturday at about 3pm and I watched it for the cute guy in it. I even have a video tape with “cute boy programme”. Oh my life is so sad ---

I used to tape Charmed just for the women. When I realized that usually I fast forewarded through most of it, I stopped. I can’t think of any that I do this with now. ---

I watch _Trading Spaces_ for the hot women. The host, Paige Davis is really cute. One designer, Genevive, is damn sexy. Another designer, Laurie, is a beautiful redhead. I don’t give a crap about interior design, but I watch Trading Spaces whenever I can. ---

Ahh yes, Charmed, the only reason for watching TV on Tuesdays in my flat… Don’t forget Alias! OK, admittedly the show has an good plot too, but _everyone_ likes eye candy eh? ---

Fox News Channel (Kiran Chetry, Donna Fiduccia, Patty Ann Browne, and Lauren Green)and CNN Headline News (Rudi Baktiar, Erica Hill, and Robin Meade). Since I think Erica Hill and Kiran Chetry look a little similar, my current fantasy is both of them at once. _Will and Grace_: Megan Mullally. To hell with the plots, what passes for “naughty” humor on there, Will (the most celibate character on network TV, I wonder why), and Grace (the (female)queen of whine on network TV). Just give me more Megan! Those Nigella Lawson cooking shows on the Style Channel. That hair, that face, that voice, those curves. I love a hottie that can cook. _30-Minute Meals_ and _$40 A Day_. Rachel Ray is just so damn cute; and there’s a little bit of “bite” to her perkiness that keeps her out of annoying Katie Couric territory. I tell myself I’d like to settle down with a marry a woman like her. ---

JAG. David James Elliott = yummmmy. Can’t think of any other reason to watch that crap. ---

Tough Crowd. Colin’s monologue and the third segment usually blow. The commentary never exceeds a bad Politically Incorrect episode. I love funny women especially if it comes out of a body like Sarah Silverman’s or a face like Laura Kitelinger’s (excuse the spelling). Not on anymore, but that show with Nikki Cox and the talking rabbit. I can’t even think of the name, but Nikki :drool:. Towards the end the makers knew what we were watching for and resorted to making the point of the all the later plots getting Nikki into sexy clothes. **erictelevision** , after this peters out maybe you should start a “Movies You Watch Just for the ‘Eye Candy’” thread. I can think of plenty of those (Charlie’s Angels, springs to mind). ---

And I don’t get Style Channel, so I had never heard of Nigella Lawson until recently. But she is absolutely stunning… goddesslike. ---

Both of Rachel Ray’s shows…though 30 Minute Meals is informative as well, so it’s got a bonus. ---

Well, the finale’s over… _BtVS_ sucked so badly this season that really, the only reason I was tuning in anymore was in the hopes of seeing James Marsters without a shirt. ---

Like **KSO** , **Fastlane**. Though more for the generic “wow, that looks cool” factor. And such bright colors! **Dog Eat Dog**. What can I say? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/shows-you-wach-just-for-the-eye-candy/176684.md?page=2)
