“Boston Public” for Sharon Leal and Jeri Ryan. “She Spies”, which is the very definition of a pure eye candy show, for Kristen Miller and Natashia Williams. ---

I watch the MTV reality shows just for the boys. ---

I’m seconding **Fast Lane**. For the guys. Though there’s _plenty_ of eye candy for the dudes as well. Like that episode where Tiffani Amber Thiessen’s character had to infiltrate the lesbian criminal ring by playing along… ---

On mainstream: Just Shoot Me- Maya, so hot at times Fashion File- One word: WHOA!! ---

That’s it, **Number Six**! Why don’t they syndicate that… As long as we’re mentioning old shows Charlie’s Angels. Cheryl Ladd, yum. Farah was sooo overrated. The tables turned as they got older, but at the time it was all about Cheryl. ---

I own every episode of _Young Americans_ on two separate copies of tapes just so I can see Katherine Moennig whenever I want. She makes me happy. James Marsters as well. And I never watched any of the Real World series until I saw Matt, the Atlanta boy, on the New Orleans season. I watched every episode for him after that. ---

I started watching _Dark Angel_ because it was an SF series produced by James Cameron. I kept watching it (for awhile, anyway) because of the delectable Jessica Alba. ---

Years ago, I wasted too many hours on Sunday night watching episodes of _Battlestar Galactica_. I knew the show was crap at the time (although I realize some of you Dopers may disagree with me on this), but I watched it nonetheless because Maren Jensen was on it. As you might guess, this was around the time my hormones were kicking in and they pretty much ganged up on my budding aesthetic judgment, gave it a wedgie, and stuffed it in a locker when Battlestar came on. Unfortunately, Maren’s role got smaller as the season went on until all she did was sit at a desk for a few seconds during the episode. ---

AtS for Wes. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmwesmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. And next year, AtS for Spike. Where James Marsters goes, so goes my nation. ---

All the CNBC shows with Maria Bartiromo. It cost me about $300 000 during the last crash but she’s a babe anyway. ---

Yum. \*\* I highly recommend you take in some Spring Training games if the opportunity arises. The men-in-tight-pants helping other men-in-tight-pants stretch ALONE will make you believe in a higher power. I have pictures if you’re interested. ---

People mentioning the old shows makes me think of my first prepubescent crush, Erin Gray from “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.” I don’t remember a single thing about that show, except that the robot Twiki had a head shaped like a penis, and that Erin Gray wore tight white pants every week. Am I the only one that “accidentally” watches E!'s Wild On:? Originally for the adorable Jules Asner, and then the voluptuous Brook Burke. ---

I did enjoy Lucy Liu in _Ally McBeal_, but I liked the show too, so that’s out. Renee O’Connor and Lucy Lawless (and various Amazons) in _Xena_, but I like the show too, so that’s out. I guess there aren’t any for me. Fancy that.
