Amy Acker as Fred (Winifred Burkle). Ah, Fred. ---

> [@roger thornhill](#): > > She has hair. Actually, another fearsome lady who used to present a financial show used to make me quiver: Consuelo Mack from WSJ Report. When she said “Have a good week and make it a productive one” at the end, I always felt she was speaking directly to me, who’d just finished another unproductive one. Liz Claman and Jean Chatzky from CNBC. Jean’s the sassy brunette with big eyes and hot legs; Liz’s the elegant redhead with sensuous lips and a handsome chestual endowment. ---

I could start a whole thread unto myself, but I’ll give the highlights… Sara Gilbert on _Roseanne_ provided the first evidence of my heterosexuality (ironically) Kirstie Alley on _Cheers_ Larisa Oleynik as _Alex Mack_ (I made her a sandwich once) Parminder Nagra is why I watch _ER_, though Linda Ciardinelli and Maura Tierny don’t hurt at all. Jewel Staite in _Firefly_ ---

Although they’re a bit scrawnier than what I usually dig: 1. Marin Hinkle-- Alan’s ex-wife of “Two and a Half Men”. Though I do agree with another poster that the girl who plays Rose on that show is THE hottie on that one. Actually “Judith” and “Rose” are both hotter than most of the bimbo-of-the-week chicks the “Charlie” character beds down with ,IMO. 2. Jami Gertz-- the mom on “Still Standing”. ---

I’m developing a very serious _thing_ for Arthur Ramsey (played by Peter Dinklage) on _Threshold._ My husband actually likes the show, but it drives me up a freakin’ wall with the Bad Science[sup]TM[/sup]. The hubby says I just don’t know enough about linguistics to be offended by Ramsey’s technobabble, so that’s why I like the character. And I was overjoyed to see that William Fitchner has a leading role in _Invasion_, as I am a long-time fan of his. The fact that he’s just so damn _macho_ on _Invasion_ is driving me wild. ROWRR! And, uh, I got into Grissom post-beard. Facial hair sometimes has a strange effect on me. ---

When I discovered that [Tom Bergeron](http://www.whav.net/images/bergeron.jpg) and I share a birthday, I also discovered he’s hot. I’ve been watching America’s Favorite Home Videos ever since. ---

I may be alone in the universe, but I think Kathy Greenwood of Whose Line is it Anyway is hot. I’m still mourning the loss of Brittany Snow and American Dreams. ---

Is there any reason to watch ER other than Parminder Nagra and Maura Tierney? I suppose she wasn’t obscure at the time, but whenever this subject comes up I recall, with mixed pride and shame, that at 12 or so I was spanking it while thinking of Pam Dawber. ---

I spanked it to Richie Cunningham when I was a kid (especially to the things he got up to in my mind with Chachi). A friend of mine realized his “true calling” when he had “unusual” pre-pubescant feelings for Gil “Buck Rogers” Gerard. ---

Bea Arthur =P Ok, serious answer… which has been posted already… Parminder Nagra. Also a new found one due to this thread… Navi Rawat… and I’ve never seen the show NUMB3RS before. I must have a thing for Indian women… they are very beautiful and have great accents. \Whenever I hear the name Goran Visnjic pronounced, I think of “Gorton’s Fishsticks”. Now whenever I see him on TV, in my mind I sing the jingle “Trust the Gorton’s Fisherman.”\ ---

A friend of mine realized his “true calling” when he had “unusual” pre-pubescant feelings for Gil “Buck Rogers” Gerard. Heh. I’d almost forgotten that my big TV crush when I was a kid (like 6 or 7 years old) was Ron Ely as Tarzan. Almost nekkid…guh…I always got a little tingly feeling in my belly watching that on Saturday mornings… ---

i actually had a thing for Richard Thomas when I was 14 - but only because he looked like a guy in school I had a major crush on (who, after 4 months of me batting my eyelashes at him, finally asked me out…one of the worst dates I ever had :rolleyes: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tv-crushes/328245.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tv-crushes/328245.md?page=4)
