I can think of several shows that were especially delightful because of eye candy (“ER” – George Clooney; “L&O” – Benjamin Bratt; “Lois & Clark” – Dean Cain) – but they’re all shows I enjoyed anyway. I can’t think of a single show I’ve ever watched just to scope on a guy. ---

Why else would I watch TV? The writing? pffft… Gilmore Girls (Rory, Lorelei, Paris), Smallville (Chloe), Voyager (Hoshi, T’Pol), Buffy (Anya, Willow), Angel (Cordelia)… that’s pretty much all I watch. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by PatrickM \* > \*\*“She Spies”, which is the very definition of a pure eye candy show, for Kristen Miller and Natashia Williams. \*\* No kidding! But, ya’ know, that show’s almost entirely tongue-in-cheek. Skimpy Clothes? Yep. Gorgeous women? Sure. Outrageous plots designed to see the gorgeous women slink into even skimpier clothes? Oh yeah. Better writing than most other shows due to its tongue being permanently rooted in its cheek? Score! ---

_Cleopatra 2525_ partly for Vicky Pratt and Gina Torres, but mainly for the title character, played by Jennifer Sky. ---

Then: Erin Grey on Buck Rodgers (excellent call, **Soulmurk** ) Maren Jensen on BG (again, **NDP** ) Susan Dey as Lori Partridge was a big crush Valerie Bertinelli on One Day at a Time (curse you, Van Halen, for having her baby! I was meant to be the father) All only so-so shows with crushes for me. (Note: another old-school one, but not for me, was Elizabeth Berkeley and Tiffani what’s-her-name on Saved By the Bell - I remember talking to this guy who was a big-time, mid-30’s lawyer telling me how he taped it every afternoon - that should qualify…) Now: Jennifer Garner - please; the Hottest Woman on TV. Even as the show goes downhill, she remains amazing. Lucy Liu - I certainly didn’t watch AMcB for the plot… ---

I didn’t feel so bad before I found out that she’s actually 15 years old, but once I did, was it horrible of me to wish that she’d hurry up and turn 18 already? That said, the mom’s not too bad on that show, either. ---

I don’t speak Spanish but does that prevent me from gawking at some of the Latin channel soaps? Dude, some of those senoritas are tres bonita. ---

Bodyshaping (ESPN) Jennifer Dempster, if you’re reading this, you need to send me an email quickly because we need to make children. Thank you. Originally Enterprise because of Jolene. I continue to watch because it’s good. Lois and Clark - Teri Hatcher Dark Angel - Ms. Alba Women’s pool - Jeanette Lee Baywatch (if it’s one with Mitzi Kapture) Who likes raven haired ladies? (Points to self and :D) ---

**Less than Perfect** for Sara Rue – rrowr!! **Becker** for Shawnee Smith and her skimpy outfits (why couldn’t any of my co-workers ever dress like that?) **Crossing Jordan** for Jill Hennessey. ---

Hoshi makes bad Enterprise episodes (90%) watchable (assuming she’s actually in it) If i see Maura Tierny (ER and newsradio) the remote stops clicking ---

I must confess—I used to watch the remade Family Affair for Tim Curry (I’m a sad, sad, girl.) Now I watch Enterprise in anticipation of any scenes with Scott Bakula sans shirt–I wanna be his Yoman Rand! My SO likes Less Than Perfect for the cute red head who plays Claude–is that Sara Rue? ---

Those are the shows I used to watch! I prefered Cindy and Terri over chrissy. Tight sweaters and the headlights were always on. Janet had a nice ass. Joannie Bradford was also my choise of the Bradford clan. Another nice ass. Like to add Adrianne Barbeau, the only reason to watch maude. Susanne Plechette of the Bob Newhart show. Wore blouses with her breasts up to her chin. Clothes and hairstyle seemed to age her 20 years after the first season. And Yes, Maya has a fantastic rack. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by MSU 1978 \* > \*\*Love TV Land and Nick at Night for: > > Three’s Company- Sure Chrissy, but Cindy was cute in her own way.
