Coach Taylor (played by v. cute Kyle Chandler) on Friday Night Lights!

Ooh, Lee Adama (played by Jamie Bamber) on Battlestar Galactica, hellooooo, mr. tasty. And he's a fighter-pilot-type person. And when he's not in character, he has a ridiculous English accent. I'm also kind of in love with E on Entourage, even though he's kind of a tool. Of course, I'm a few years behind on both of these shows, since I only watch them on Netflix, but last I checked, these boys hadn't done anything to make me not love them. (Will also admit a major girl-crush on Starbuck.)

McGeorge, circa seasons 1-2. Since he cheated on his wife and can't go over Snaggle-Toothed Izzie he's become less attrative in season 3.

I think both the Chucks on "Chuck" and "Life" are adorable. I don't know that I have an actual crush on them, but they're the main reason that I watch the shows. I think Jim from the Office falls into the same category of cute-ness as them.

And I second your three Lost crushes, of course.

I have two:

Kristin Chenowith as "Olive Snook" on pushing daisies. The combination of her diminutive size and smoldering libido guarantees that I will tune in.

Pailey Perrete as "Abigail Sciuto" on NCIS. The intensity of this tattooed bubblegum-Goth uber-geek makes me woozy.

Ned on "Pushing Daisies"...he makes me feel like a schoolgirl when he stutters or raises his eyebrows.

Chuck (Zach Levi) from "Chuck." He is soooo unbelievably adorable!! LOVE HIM!!

I only have one...

that grungy ball of attitude problem Anna Wu from Chuck (Julia Ling)... there's lots of pretty girls in series this year but they're all unbearably vapid. With Anna, they seem to be taking the Anna/Morgan arc down the Herbert/Agnes DiPesto route (or they were... when there were writers... once... long long ago...)

Taking it a bit more old school...

Kirk Cameron on "Growing Pains." Cute, with curly locks, a charming smile, and while he was always in trouble, it only made him more attractive to 10-year-old me.

Will Smith on "Fresh Prince of Bel Air."

Theo (Malcolm Jamal Warner) on "Cosby."

Dylan (Luke Perry) on 90210. The ultimate bad boy with a heart of gold, plus he surfer, which was irresistible to a midwesterner like me.

1) James Conlon (played by JAG-David James Elliott) on the sadly canceled-this-year Close to Home. The cocky self-assuredness mixed with vulnerability and sense of right brought me back to my love of Harm Rabb. The man is too good-looking.
2) Isaac on Shark (played by Henry Simmons) - the same qualities that made me swoon over Henry when he was on NYPD Blue are back. The show itself is horrible, though. I have to admit I only watch the scenes with Henry!

jim from the office
ej wells on days of our lives (guilty pleasure)

Cmon, people, don't just list names - it's way more fun if you say why!

That evil one, Marlo (The Wire)
McDreamy (Grey's Anatomy)
Derwin (The Game)
E (Entourage)
Vince (Entourage)

Yes! Ned on "Pushing Daisies"-so cute!!

Mohinder from season one of "Heroes". So hot, and LOVE his accent. Unfortunately, it has become evident this season that this character is a complete moron.

Unlikely crush on an obscure show -- Sol Star on Deadwood.

He's so calm and open.

Wow, I just realized I watch too many design shows since my "now" list is short.

TV crushes now...
Charlie Harper (Sheen, Two and 1/2 Men)
Ted from How I Met Your Mother
Barney (NPH from the same show, too bad he's gay)

TV crushes then...
Alex P. Keaton (MJF from Family Ties)
All the boys from Valerie/Hogan's Family, esp. Jason Bateman.
Party of Five -- the brother who dated Jennifer Love Hewitt, (i.e. not Fox).
Brian Austin Green (90210) way after the "awkward" HS years.
Neil Patrick Harris -- Doogie Howser
Ricky Shroeder -- Silver Spoons

Ok, this is really sad. I'm your everyday average, red-blooded American hetero male, and I can't come up with 5 crushes, and I'm pushing it for the ones I have. What does this say about the writing on TV?
1. Chloe (Smallville) - Smart, adorable, funny. What's not to like?
2. Ellie (Chuck) - Statuesque brunette. Intelligent, funny. Who cares about Sarah?
3. Jaime (Bionic Woman) - Gotta respect a woman who can throw me through a wall. Love it when she talks with her real accent, too.
4. Juliet (Lost) - Is she evil or not? Who cares? She's tough, smart, soft-spoken and hot.
Since I can't come up with a fifth, I'll fill out the list with a hetero man-crush.
5. Dean (Smallville) - Tough as nails, loves his brother, funny as Hell, great with the babes.

Yes I'm on the McDreamy bandwagon. So cute, so sexy, so sensitive!

Others:
House on House
Ted on How I Met Your Mother
Delco on CSI: Miami
Nick George on Dirty Sexy Money (but i loved Peter Krause on 6 Ft Under too!)

Okay, sorry, h3!!!

That evil one, Marlo (The Wire) - He is such a bad boy! Scary, but so powerful and confident. Sort of like when Denzel played the bad guy in Training Day. Plus, that scar on his face is just really sexy....

McDreamy (Grey's Anatomy) - I don't know. After he gave Meredith that speech a few weeks ago, the one about how he wanted to marry her, he just looked so sexy and so sincere that I just wanted to push Meredith to the ground and say, "Forget that cold b!tch, Derek! I'll marry you!"

Derwin (The Game) - I know this is probably a show many of our fairer-skinned sisters may not watch, but if you had seen Derwin with his shirt off, you'd tune in weekly like I do!

E (Entourage) - he's short, but cute, and on the show, he's the least doggish of the whole crew. Kevin Connolly is obviously an idiot, but E is really adorable.

Vince (Entourage) - It's the eyes and the curly black hair and the superstar attitude. A sexy combination.

Also wanted to throw in my old-schoolers

Mike Seaver on Growing Paines (love him)
Zach Morris on Saved by the Bell (so crafty yet so charming)
Dylan on 90210
Rob Estes on any show he was on (Silk Stalkings, Melrose Place)

Ok, I'll fess up to (and explain) a House crush: It's not about House, per se. It's about Bertie Wooster, and the Prince Regent, and Mr. Little. Huge amounts of talent, a wonderfully expressive face, and a penchant for musical self-expression. House per se, yeah, it's the damaged thing. And did you know Hugh Laurie wrote a pretty good (though a little spoofy) spy novel?

Other one, Agent Eppes, played by Rob Morrow, on Numbers. Again, it's largely because Dr. Fleishman from Northern Exposure grew up so nice and muscly, but also, I dunno, there's something kind of rough and sexy about him.

Finally, Aidan from SATC. So sweet, so kind, so handsome, so real. SO too good for that puddle-depth Carrie.

Jim Halpert!

Ned on Pushing Daisies. Hands down. Such a sweetie -- and since I've never been dead, no need for Saran wrap! :)

And last season I'd've said Alex Karev on Grey's. (He was finally starting to come around....) This season, however, I'm ready to rather intimately acquaint him with a large, blunt object. (Or possibly a rusty, sharp one. Haven't decided.)

Kristen Bell -- she can electrocute me ANY day!

Daniel Meade from Ugly Betty
Alex Karev from Grey's Anatomy
Peter Patrelli from Heroes
Marc Antony from Rome
...and I'll jump on the McDeramy bandwagon too!

Lets see...

Elle (Heroes)
Fiona (Burn Notice)
Jaime (Bionic Woman)
Dani Reese (Life)
Vala Maldoran (Stargate: SG1)

What can I say, I am a sucker for a girl with an accent or a girl who can kick my a$$.

ZOMG MAN VS. WILD BEAR GRYLLS.

I just recently saw an episode where he was in the desert and cut open a dead camel, drank the water out of the intestines, skinned the hide off for a blanket, pissed a circle around the camel to deter passing predators and then slept on the neck of the now gutted and skinned camel. The testosterone level alone sets my faculties aflutter.

Peter Petrelli- Heroes- Tortured soul, wants to save the world, looks great shirtless

The Devil- Reaper- Ok, I know Ray Wise is kinda funny looking but he is so delightfuly good as the devil. I laugh at all his lines and. Does this mean i'm going to hell?

Hiro Nakamura- Heroes- YATTTAAA!

Girl Crushes (I wanna be em not do em).

Olive Snook- Pushing Dasies- Smart, funny, vivacious and man can she sing.

Liz Lemon- 30 Rock- Funny, smart, the butt of many jokes... Maybe I am her.

Favorite TV real person crush- Tim Gunn- If he ran for president I would vote for him. He solves everyones problems with compassion and grace and is a true blue gentleman.

I thought of another one!

Michael from Arrested Development. He's totally adorable, he tries really hard to do what's best for his family and...Jason Bateman, need I say more?

Michael Scoffield (aka Wentworth Miller of "Prison Break") - piercing blue eyes, sexy full-body tattoo, deeply caring and a brilliant mind - the total package. :)

Chuck (from Chuck) - because he seems like the kind of guy who might actually date me (cute, but doesn't know it).

Barry Watson's character on "Samantha Who?" is pretty cute, too but he still has the taint of "Seventh Heaven."

Ryan Atwood from The OC!!!!!!!!!!
Pacey Witter from Dawson's Creek!!!!!!!!!

Jon Stewart - my crush on him goes way back, but The Daily Show put my crush into overdrive.

Damian Lewis - Life - again another crush that goes way back, after I saw him in Keane, I added all his movies to my netflix queue (or at least the ones that were out). Don't get me started on his charactor Soames Forsyte in the Forsyte Saga.

David Boreanez - Bones, not so much liked him on Buffy and never watched Angel, but I love love his charactor Seely Booth on Bones. He's the only reason I watch it.

I definitely agree with Jermaine from Flight of the Conchords. He just wants to be loved, but all the ladies prefer Bret... I don't get it.

Jim from the Office - but not as much since he got Pam.

Also, I'm gonna disagree with everyone and say Turtle is the pick from Entourage. He is so cute! C'mon!

McDreamy, McDreamy, McDreamy!

(Hopefully that counts as 3 votes.)

And, as a real blast from the past, David Cassidy in The Partridge Family

Oops, forgot Charlie Epps from "Numbers." I love a man with a strong mind. Nothing sexier. :) I think that's the appeal of House, too. Dry wit and quick mind.

Mitch from Meerkat Manor. He's cute, and he's always got your back.

No way, Bret is way hotter than Jemaine. They both have that dumb/innocent thing that makes them adorable, but Bret has the baby face to go along with it. And the sweatshirts with animals on them? So sexy.

Anonimis, are you sure you don't mean Omar? I don't remember Marlo having a scar on his face, but Omar definitely does. He's also kind of a good guy at heart, even though he's a total bad-ass, which makes him more appealing to me. I used to love McNulty, too, when he was a jerk, but now that he's a family man, not so much. (What does that say about me?)

I'd also like to nominate Logan from Veronica Mars. I guess it's the teenage girl still hidden inside my 30-year-old body, but the whole he-was-an-ahole-until-Veronica-rescued-him-from-his-troubled-past thing just makes me melt.

E: (Entourage) Kevin Connolly friends with Paris in real life(ew), but on the show he smart and loyal. Two good qualities in a man

Vince: (Entourage)Adrian Greiner has most amazing blue eyes ever!

Ari: (Entourage)Jeremy Piven is a tool in real life and on the show, but I love his smile

JD and Turk: (Scrubs) I don't care if Zack Braff cheated on Mandy Moore (She's boring anyway). JD and Turk are smart and funny.

In no particular order:

Greg Sanders (Erik Szmanda) on CSI.....Hot, funny, and appears tall. He's the fictional character I'd actually date

Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) on Grey's Anatomy......the "one night of passion" guy

Bear Grylls on Man vs. Wild......he spends most of his time on TV looking filthy and doing disgusting things in the name of survival, but the testosterone level is so overwhelming that it's totally hot.

Ted from How I Met Your Mother - So neurotic, sweet and cute! Just my type.

Nick from the original CSI - dark hair, periodic stubble, a little more introspective now after the ants incident, muscular, smart and just enough of your typical male ego to drive me nuts (in a good way). I wish I could bring Nick home for Thanksgiving w/ the clan :)

Rose from Two and a Half Men - she made a cameo this year and I realized how much I missed her from the show and that I had a big girl crush on her. Adorable w/ dark hair, rosy cheeks, smart, cutting wit, and completely neurotic. Reminds me of me.

Hmmm...all my crushes have dark hair, smarts, neurosis and frailties...

Oh! I forgot!

Booth (David Boreanez) on Bones!

My absolute worst, most embarrassing crushes were:
Lee Majors in the "6 Million Dollar Man." There was something about that cheesy red tracksuit and bad toupee.
Patrick Duffy in "Man From Atlantis." Loved those webbed fingers.
Please don't tell anyone!!

oh i cannot believe this one has yet to be listed: don draper played by jon hamm on amc's "mad men". were all ad execs in the 50s like him? if so i'd be a swinger in a second...

Liz! How was Jim last night? At the Warner Theater? With the tickets from Ticketmaster?

Barney - Neil Patrick Harris in HIMYM.

Peter Petrelli - Milo Ventimiglia on Heroes.

I have to say I disagree and loved David Boreanez on Buffy back in the day. Plus how sexy was spike! Love me some vampires!

Kari Byron from "Mythbusters" - she is hot, smart, creative, and has just the right sense of irreverence/mischief. Even better - she's real, not a fictional character.

Holy crap I forgot Ben Browder as Cameron Mitchell from SG-1!!!! I've ahd a crush on him since Farscape and I squealed when he and Claudia went to SG-1. Ben Browder is so cute!!! I want to bake him a cake.

I have a total crush on Keith Olbermann .. love the countdown.

Halpert from the Office

Sayid from Lost .. yeah

I have a crush on Jack Donaghee, the character from 30 Rock, but not on Alec Baldwin the actor

So what I'm learning from this list is...we're all women. Or gay men. (Also, that I am spending way too much time on this blog today.) So I guess I'm not going to find my future spouse on Celebritology after all.

I don't have a TV, but Naveen caused a visceral reaction in me when I saw him in "The English Patient" years ago. This doesn't happen to me often so it has stuck in my memory! I'll never forget the scene where he takes his hair out of his turban!

Okay, it's a little obscure but I TOTALLY have a crush on Robin Hood (Jonas Armstrong) on BBC America's version. I mean, how could you not, the reluctant hero with a good sense of humor, and totally hot!

Come to think of it, Marian (Lucy Griffiths) would be a good choice for the girl-crush...

If you haven't seen it, check it out. I'm dying for the second season. I started to see an episode while in England but turned it off because I didn't want to jump ahead!

I admit that Spike was pretty hot when he was evil, but when he got his soul back then he as just a p***y.

Last year I got the impression that I could kick Peter Petrelli's a$$ on Heroes, probably because of the thoroughly unbecoming Surge-commercial haircut. But now that he's had a makeover, he's so hot he's nuclear.

Jack from Lost - that moment when he was yelling at Kate to promise not to come back for him. I melted

Peter from Heroes - he is good, he is tortured and he has every power imagainable.

David Anders - as Sark and Adam Monroe. He is so so badass that you know he would be so so good for a fling

Jack on Studio 60 - horrible show, but that episode when he charged into a Nevada courthouse with a black AmEx, I was done for

Bear, while rugged and sexy, is not a character! It's a reality show. ((Whines)) You guys aren't following the rules! If we are going to do reality show people, I have a whole other list, starting with Brad Womack, the "gangsta" bachelor who basically said, "I don't love dem hoes!" and was out the door!

P.S. I saw that camel episode, too, how freaking gross! And through some internet digging yesterday, I learned that Bear fakes a lot of his scenes. That volcano Man vs Wild was totally staged and he sometimes flies to hotels at night, among other things. Still, he's sexy.

Don Draper...I'll second that!! Started out as a total jerk, but I suppose his chiseled body and cofidence outweigh that. Plus, he showed his sensitive side a little in the season finale.

Toby from The Office...I love how he has a crush on Pam, like in the episode where he won her the stuffed animal from the crane machine and when he showed it to her she said "that's great, your daughter will love it." Poor Toby!!

Captain Awesome from Chuck- he seems like a flake, but you can tell he really loves Ellie and does want only the best for Chuck. And how cute was it when he gave Morgan a makeover?!

Emerson from Pushing Daisies...his deadpan deliveries, tell it like it is attitude and secret passion for knitting. "Kick Pooh!Kick!"

1. Warrick from CSI Vegas - I hope I never see/read and interview with the actor (I don't even know his name) lest the illusion be ruined.

2. Alex from Ugly Betty - I'm straight, but she's beautiful and a fighter.

3. Wilson from House - for having the balls to stand up to House.

4. Simon Elder from Dirty Sexy Money - hot, rich, and mysterious.

Seely Booth, Bones--As single Dad, FBI Agent and pirate fan...what's not to like?

Daniel Meade and Henry Grubstick, Ugly Betty--Who is the good guy and who is the bad? Both cute and caring in completely opposite ways...

Det. Elliot Stabler, Law & Order SVU--Still love this character. Complex, brooding, caring all wrapped into one.

Danny McCoy, Las Vegas--Cool, smart and suave.

"Anonimis, are you sure you don't mean Omar? "

No, Anne, I meant Marlo. He had a scar on his cheek that makes him look real mean. I like Omar's gangsta attitude, too, but i don't have a crush on him. Marlo's the sexy one. Actually, he kind of looks like my husband, which may have something to do with it!

Chuck Bartowski--smart, kind, sweet, doesn't know he's cute.

Chris from Gilmore Girls (which did run in 2007!)-- funny, smart, kind. Loralie really messed up leaving him.

Sorry...that's all I can come up with.

Chuck from "Chuck" and the Coach (Kyle Chandler's character) from "Friday Night Lights"

I'm gonig to nominate both of Kristen Bell's characters from 2007, Veronica Mars and Elle, I probably like Elle more just because she is a bad girl and I love the stunted growth and how she likes to hurt people.

I'll add Karen from The Office, not so much from her one episode this season, but I really liked her last year she just seemed like a more interesting person than Pam.

Mrs. Taylor from Friday Night Lights, jesus she is just unreal in her sexiness.

My last nomination would be Joan from Mad Men, and not just because she has curves and knows how to use them. That last seen with her and Sterling when he told her she was the best piece of ass he ever had and the look in her eyes just broke my heart.

I love Jack Donaghee! I don't know how I forgot him. I like Alec Baldwin too though.

Marshall from How i met your mother, he's just a big lovable teddy bear, i know his character is married maybe I'll get to be the girl with the red umbrella just so I can be his friend.

Bear Grylls- except when he does gross things like drink his pee but otherwise so hot

Tim Gunn - i just want him to come over and throw away all my clothes

Sayid - damn

Ice T on one of those law and orders - well hes just so cool

Malik from the Game- he cracks me up and he's Sexy.

Donell from Girlfriends - that character has really grown since the show started and he cried over when Maya miscarried their baby.

Detective Charlie Cruise from Life - I just love that he's quirky. The quick smile he gives when being a smart arse love it. I even love his red hair.

The Pie Hole owner Ned - the facts were these: he's got issues from childhood and really really in love with Chuck but he can't ever touch her and that's ok by him cause she's around. He opened a store called Pie Hole and he can bring people back from the dead (ok not that one so much) but he's just so friggin cute.

Noah Bennette from Heros- two words "kicks arse." Nuff said.

Duncan Collingsworth from Big Shots- he has a certain bad boy appeal. Although he loses points for not recognizing a preup tranny.

Sayid from Lost - kicks arse. Nuff said

Couch Taylor, Riggins and Smash from Friday Night Lights - combined they bring me such joy.

Ronin and Captain Shephard from Starship Atlantis- they both kick arse but Shephard makes me laugh as well.

No wait that's Stargate Atlantis not Starship Atlantis.

1. Starbuck on Battlestar Galactica (Katee Sackhoff).
2. Dylan McDermott on Big Shots (although I liked his character on The Practice better).
3. Alan Shore on Boston Legal (James Spader - I have always been intrigued by his sexuality, ever since I first saw him in Sex, Lies and Videotape).
4. Dr. Perry Cox on Scrubs (John McGinley - another character that just intrigues me!).
5. Doug Wilson of Moving Up and Trading Spaces. (okay, I know he's probably gay...)

12:04-I love Emerson, too. But it's more of a wanting to hang out with him/be his sidekick than a crush. His delivery of lines often brings me perilously close to pants-wetting laughter.

I just google imaged Marlo from the Wire again. I just have to throw in a few more votes for him!

Marlo
Marlo
Marlo!!!!

YUM.

Bear, while rugged and sexy, is not a character! It's a reality show. ((Whines)) You guys aren't following the rules! If we are going to do reality show people, I have a whole other list, starting with Brad Womack, the "gangsta" bachelor who basically said, "I don't love dem hoes!" and was out the door!

__________________________________________
Wasn't there a big issue with a lot of the show being fake (like he went with the film crew back to the hotel) so not real reality,

My two current TV crushes are courtesy of BBC America:

1) The 10th Doctor (David Tennant): So cute in that geeky way, plus who doesn't love a guy who can take you to the end of the universe and back?

2) Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman): Smart, sexy, competent, and a grin to die for.

"Wasn't there a big issue with a lot of the show being fake (like he went with the film crew back to the hotel) so not real reality."

Yeah okay, I'll give you that one. But Tim Gunn? Doug Wilson? Heidi Klum? Tyra Banks. They may be "characters," but they're not characters.

John Krasinski - Jim on the Office
Shemar Moore - Criminal Minds
Barry Watson - Samantha Who (just IMBD'd to get his name - he play the oldest son on 7th Heaven, but has totally grown up!)

Jack from Lost, from the moment he woke up after the crash.
Sayid from Lost, from the first time he looked directly toward the camera.
Booth from Bones, sometimes except when I want to smack him for being smug.
Charlie from Party of Five, after he stopped whining about taking care of all these kids.
Dylan from 90210, (total guilty pleasure)soft spoken bad boy, need I say more?

Chuck Bartowski from "Chuck" - he would be a fabulous boyfriend, he's adorable, and you would NEVER have computer problems again

Seely Booth from "Bones" - a stand-up, do-right guy, a man of action with a soft, loving heart... [sigh]

John Casey from "Chuck" - basically, I will always love Adam Baldwin in any role, but the fact he gets the snarkiest, best lines of the show doesn't hurt!

Darnell from "My Name is Earl" - he's sweet, he has fascinating hair, he's cute, yet he's man enough to handle a rampaging, pregnant Joy, and he may very well be a genius

Christian Troy from "Nip/Tuck" - okay, he may be amoral and emotionally sadistic, but he is spectacularly beautiful and seductive and always has that hint that he might be a good man underneath it all... in a word, he's dangerous. Yummy!

I forgot Warrick from CSI, another bad boy at heart. And jumping into my Way Back Machine how in the world did I forget Dr. Doug Ross?

Dr. John Carter - ER. Technically ER is still on so I think this counts.

Coach Taylor on Friday Night Lights. No contest.

Chuck from Chuck...so cute in an emo kind of way

Adam Monroe from Heroes; my love dates back to his evil Alias days!

Don Draper from Mad Men; tall, dark, handsome, mysterious past *swoons*

and for reality shows (yes, I know not part of the rules!), Phil from The Amazing Race

"Dr. John Carter - ER. Technically ER is still on so I think this counts."

The we gotta throw in George Clooney and in some weird way, I liked Dr. Greene, too.

I think fft5305 might be right about the dearth of crush-worthy female characters of the ol' tube.

There's Perry's wife on Scrubs: she'll eviscerate you verbally while you're gazing stupidly at her.

There's blondie-blonde the secret agent on Chuck: but I base this ENTIRELY on seeing the promo last night in which she turned off the alarm clock by throwing a knife at it.

There's Kristin Chenowith's character on Pushing Daisies, which surprises me, because I really don't think much of her political or religious views, dislike her singing, and really hated Harriet, the Studio 60 character based on her. (I also kinda like the one-eyed lady on that show.)

There's Catalina on My Name Is Earl, because I like the way she dances.

And Liz Lemon, because she looks *just like my mom* too!

I nominate myself for my combination of Alpha Male feats and sympathetic portrayal of a humble man in the Jacks Link Jerky commercials. In particular, my performance in this version of a particular commercial is worthy of an Emmy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVM62idO9MA&mode=related&search

"That show" meaning Pushing Daisies, not Studio 60.

Ned (Lee Pace) from "Pushing Daisies" - He almost makes me wish I would die so he could bring me back from the dead. And he bakes.

Logan Echolls (Jason Dohring) from "Veronica Mars" - Bad boy with a heart of gold. When he beat up that guy who videotaped Veronica...swoon.

Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) from the "The Office" - The way he looks at Pam is the way every woman dreams of being looked at.

Wolverine. NOT Hugh Jackman. He's way to into show tunes for me.
Comic book Wolverine and first "X-Men" movie Wolverine. That's my second husband.
My first husband is oddly comfortable with this. If Wolverine were ever to become real, he'd say go for it. Probably has another fictional crush lined up for himself.

Boy Crush
Jim Halpert - A) he's adorable! B) he's such a smart ass - my kind of boy!
(But I do agree, not as cute since he & Pam finally made it happen).

Girl Crush
Liz Lemon - She so funny and witty and strong, all while be insecure. She's great.

Dr Luka Kovac from ER - he's broody and he went through the obligatory ER tragic downward spiral, but he's got a smile that could light up Times Square

Det. Eliot Stabler from SVU - sense of humor, good one-liners, good at his job, balances his love for his family with his love for his partner (Olivia)

Michael Scofield from Prison Break

Until you said it has to be a show from 2007 I was going to go with Pacey Whitter from Dawson's Creek and Hawkeye from MASH... but I guess I'll go with Henry the Accountant from Ugly Betty. So Cute.

Elliot (Sarah Chalke) from "Scrubs." Good looking, talented (she speaks German!) and playful.

Jan (Melora Hardin) from "The Office" - you have to love a a woman with power, looks, and a sense of humor.

1. jim halpert from the office because he is just likes pam SO much and the whole "pretending to be dwight" intro from the 3rd season!
2. michael from arrested development because he is the funniest character ever to be on t.v. ever. i miss him.
3. shawn hunter from boy meets world- such a rebel!
4. jesse from gilmore girls because he was the smartest funniest and most socially awkward character ever on t.v. oh and he is soooo attractive.
5. house from house becasue he is sarcastic and has bright blue eyes.

Although reruns have not stood the test of time, I have to say that in it's day, my major crush was on Tom Selleck of Magnum PI. Not only was he gorgeous but I always appreciated his humor and ability to poke fun at himself with his self-effacing humor and willingness to be put in absolutely ridiculous situations. He never seemed to take himself too seriously...something many/most current day actors/celebrities might want to take note of.

luka kovac from ER: smoldering, brooding, romantic, eastern european...what more could a goil want?

ned from pushing daisies: totally endearing

last but certainly not least...detective charlie crews (aka damian lewis)...i've never had a crush on a redhead before but he's such an incredible, intelligent actor. my goodness...is it warm in here?

Rule breakers (non-characters): Tim Gunn. So much class, he oozes it. Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs, I dunno, but the fact that he never takes himself seriously, has fun, and respects people who do the nastiest jobs - and is a local boy, too!

In bounds: Lucien Dubenko (Leland Orser) on ER. He has a shyness and sweetness under his dorkiness that gets to my heartsrtings. And I'll add Mikhi Phifer, I mean Greg Pratt, from ER as well, because of his eyes. And his smile. Mmmmmmmm

"Det. Eliot Stabler from SVU - sense of humor, good one-liners, good at his job, balances his love for his family with his love for his partner (Olivia)"

Did you see the one a few days ago when his pregnant wife almost died and then in the hospital hallway, how he pulled Olivia close to him and hugged her. It was so sweet! Do you think those two are going to get together or what??

current crushes:
house from house
wilson from house
dr. who (current one)

sid (?) the medical examiner from csi:ny
cooper from private practice
and ...
i will always heart grissom from csi

past crushes:
dr. ross, dr. carter, dr. ross from er
agent cooper from twin peaks
jim rockford (yes, i'm old)
frank fontana from murphy brown
tony from wire in the blood
jeremy brett as sherlock holmes

I'm glad I read this list before posting, it reminded me of numerous men that were just not top of mind.
Jim from the Office - when he gives that goofy, all-knowing smile to the camera, I nearly melt.
Warrick from CSI and Delko from CSI Miami - something about this bad boys who are ridiculously smart
Dr Pete on Private Practive - he has improved DRASTICALLY since Wings, even if this character is emotionally unstable
And finally Maks from DWTS, who is not a character, but an amazingly hot real person.

Jemaine from Flight of the Conchords - it's the lips. And the fact that he can rock three of Bowie's looks.
Ryan from The Office - the cute puppy-dog eyes that mask the heart of a weasel.
House from House - the baby blues, vintage rock t-shirts and acerbic wit = dreamy.
Earl from My Name is Earl - maybe it's the t-shirt thing again, but I suspect it has more to do with the fact that I think he could fix my car.

Hugh Laurie (House) on House - those eyes, that attitude, the brains, the musical ability

Damian Lewis (Charlie Crews) on Life - so cute, so Zen (sort of)

Lee Pace (Ned) on Pushing Daisies - sweet, sensitive, and he bakes!

Tim Gunn on Project Runway - I just know he'd help me organize my life, my wardrobe, everything

Vincent D'Onofrio (Goren) - Law and Order: Criminal Intent - for the weirdness and the clear need for someone to love him

oh I totally forgot, was Rome in 2007?
Definatly Titus Polo
and i had a girl crush on that slave girl with dreads until she turned evil and and killed Irani
and The gripper was Great too, and octavian,
ok i think that had to be the hottest Cast in history

Captain Jack Harkness (Torchwood, Doctor Who) - thank you to the poster who mentioned him first! He's so freaking beautiful, it ain't even funny.

Derek Shepherd (Grey's) - I've loved Dempsey since "Can't Buy Me Love", and I love the way Derek just pours his heart out to Meredith, even if she does hand it right back to him.

Ari Gold (Entourage) - Jeremy Piven cracks me the hell up, and he should always be shirtless, always.

Coach Taylor (FNL) - because he simply rocks.

Michael Scofield (Prison Break) - that voice! The man could read me the encyclopedia.

Chuck Bartowski, Seth Cohen (O.C.), and Ted Mosby (HIMYM) - love the smart and funny cutie-pie geek types.

And of the women, Veronica Mars forever, also a smart and funny cutie-pie geek type.

Jim Halpert from the Office

Seeley Booth from Bones

Chuck Bartowski from Chuck

Michael Scofield from Prison Break

Detective Crews from Life

This list is making it very hard for me to concentrate while at the office....

To Sally Owen: you're going to have to fight my mom for Tom. He's been her "celebrity husband" since the day Magnum started. :)

jhpants--That episode made me love Jemaine so much more! Especially "1980's Labyrinth David Bowie."

Embarrassing old-school crush: Ponch from "CHiPs." All my little schoolgirl friends preferred the tall, blond John, but I'll always have a soft spot for Erik Estrada.

Okay, since someone complained earlier about a dearth of hetero male repsonses, here goes:

1. Chuck from "Pushing Daisies". a) she's adorable; b) there seemed to be at least one "Chuck" on all the ladies' lists, so I thought I should name one, too; c) did I mention she's adorable.

2. All the Moms from "Gossip Girl". They really went out of their way to make this a pretty show about pretty teen-agers, and they really picked a pretty bunch of 30- and 40-somethings to play the mothers of those pretty teenagers. Special kudos to Kelly Rutherford as Lily Van der Woodsen, who's been rocking my crush-world since Melrose Place.

3. Chuck's sister from "Chuck". She's smart, pretty, level-headed and down-to-earth -- if only she'd dump the incredibly bland Captain Awesome. On the minus side -- she is a bit young. However, I completely understand Morgan "Grimey" Grimes' crush on her.

4. PJ from "My Boys". Except for the sprotswriter angle, which I find a bit cliched, what's not to crush -- she's a hottie who's one of the guys.

5. Elliot from "Scrubs". I have a thing for smart, pretty, neurotic blondes, so sue me.

Honorable mention:
Mimi (the Tax Lady) from "Jericho". a) gorgeous; b) the whole "frosty bureaucrat exterior melted by the simple farm boy" is pretty hot.

Ned: (Pushing Dasises) He is so endearing and I love his big brown eyes when he looks at Chuck.

Matt on Studio 60: Matt was funny, witty, charming and smart. I hated that writer paired with that awful Harriet. He deserved better.

Adian: SATC. He was too good for Carrie. He's sweet, charming, and can remodel your apartment and look good eating chicken in his underwear.

I agree with Sayid from "Lost", and submit Jim (John Krawkowski) from "The Office", Ed Greene (Jesse L. Martin) of "Law & Order", Guy of Gisborne from BBC America's "Robin Hood", and Elliott Stabler (Christopher Meloni) of "Law and Order:SVU"

My husband says, Olivia Benson(Mariska Hargitay) and Casey (Diane Neal) both of "Law and Order: SVU"; Number Six (Tricia Helfer) from "Battlestar Gallactica", Neela (Parminda Negra) on "er", and Lindsay (Angie Harmon) on "Women's Murder Blub

#1 Sawyer (good lord, if only he had a single twin)
#2 DENNY!!!! The ill-fated Grey's Anatomy guest star in Season 2. I can't believe nobody has even mentioned this character! Yes, he was shortlived, but so touching!
#3 House
#4 Sayid
#5 Jordan Catellano (sp?) from My So Called Life- beautiful and tortured. Just what my high-school soul craved...

Can we all agree once and for all that Jordan Catalano, as pretty as he may have been, was a douchebag? Sleeping with Rayeanne was an incredible dick move, and should completely negate any crush any sane woman could ever have for him.

Bottom line, he's no Jake Ryan.

I don't watch Lost, but at first I thought that was the guy from Office Space. Haha.

I would also add:

-Daniel Meade(Ugly Betty): He's has that frat boyish charm.

-Jack McCoy(Law & Order):He's a middle age liberal DA who is not afraid to stand by his principles that makes him hot in my book.

Byoolin, I completely forgot about Perry's wife on Scrubs. I fell out of the habit of watching long ago. I guess she could round out my top 5. I'm surprised no one else has mentioned Supernatural. My wife actually watches it, despite the high blood content. Actually, we don't even call it Supernatural any more. It's "Cutie Boy Show." I think she'd leave me for Dean in a heartbeat. Which is odd because he's completely not her type.

I definitely agree with Jonas Armstrong (Robin Hood). Would like to add the brothers from "Supernatural." Cute, funny and kick major demon ass!

Mrs. Coach (Connie Britton) on "Friday Night Lights": smart, sassy and adorable.

The pre-LA version of Addison on "Grey's Anatomy" -- you know, before she became whiny and annoying.

And, always, Lorelai Gilmore.

Coach Eric Taylor (Friday Night Lights) -- smart, sensitive and yet kick-ass, always knows how to deal with his wayward athletes, a loving husband and, oh yes, pretty darn cute. In other words, the perfect man.

Tim Riggins (Friday Night Lights) -- dumb, trouble-making and, oh yes, beautiful. What can I say, I also have a thing for the bad boys.

Mark Sloane (Grey's Anatomy) -- cute and a total sleaze, yet so funny and self-aware about it.

Jimmy McNulty (The Wire) -- a sexy screw-up definitely in need of saving. And I think I'm just the woman to do that.

But of course, no one measures up to Dr. Doug Ross (ER). He combines all of the above into one delicious package.

Okay, some of these go back a few years, but please humor me:

Lorelai Gilmore, Gilmore Girls - (okay, Liz, you busted me) She was sweet, smart, goofy, and she had that '60s anti-establishment streak that I find so attractive in women.

Dharma Finklestein Montgomery, Dharma and Greg - for all the same reasons. (What can I say? Smart, sexy hippie chicks really do it for me.)

Mallory O'Brien (Leo McGarry's daughter), The West Wing - She was strong, intelligent, gorgeous, politically savvy (and a heartfelt Leftie).

Winnie Cooper (high school version), The Wonder Years - in appearance and action, she reminded so much of my first serious girlfriend.

#1 - I'm jumping on the "House" bandwagon. He's smart, unpredictable and a bit of a bad boy.

#2 - Steven Colbert. Smart, witty, tongue in cheek bad-boy.

#3 - Bill Paxton in "Big Love." Just because I like Bill Paxton.

First ever TV crush - Adam on Bonanza!

jhpants-BACK AWAY FROM EARL HICKEY CAUSE HE'S MIIIIINEEEE!!!

Sorry, I tend to get possessive of my fictional crushes. Though I suppose my love of Earl may really be for Jason Lee but Earl does remind me of numerous family members. Plus he's got a nice hairy chest. I can't believe it took close to 100 posts for someone to list him AND Mike Rowe.

Fictional crushes:
I triple or quadruple or whatever we're up to now on Chuck from Chuck, Jim from the Office, all of the Pushing Daisies cast including the Aunts (I just love that show so much I'd marry it right after I divorced Lost), Sawyer, Sayid & sometimes Jack but only Bad-Ass Jack, not Wussy Jack.

I'd even add in John Locke to that mix. Maybe it's the bald head, maybe it's the enigma that is Locke, I dunno, but I'd like to find out.

- Bert "Sock" Wysocki from Reaper. He seems like he'd be more fun than Sam.

- Luka from ER. Mostly for the accent & all that tall, dark & handsome. As for former ER docs, I'm a Mark Greene girl. Have been ever since Mark was juggling 2 or 3 chicks at once ages ago. He was out-Clooney-ing Clooney!

-Luke from Gilmore Girls. He, too, has a great hairy chest (do ya see a pattern forming here?), he cooks AND fixes stuff, what more does a girl need?!

If we're talking older shows, I'd add in Hawkeye from MASH, he was one suave MF for that day & age.

-Magnum for fairly obvious hairy chested reasons.

-Chris Stevens aka John Corbett from Northern Exposure. **sigh** who DIDN'T want Chris?!? He was a cool, beatnik-y hippy kinda guy without being too freaky. Plus Corbett's as handsome in person as he is on screen. I'm surprised he hasn't been mentioned in a Sex In The City capacity.

- All of the Monkees. I'm not sure if they should be fictional or not but here they are. There will always be a place in my heart for Davy cause he was soooo dreeeeaaaamyyyyyy!! And he would be my height, no tiptoes needed to kiss Davy, & that ca-ray-zee Cockney accent just sends me every time. But my love isn't just for Davy, oh no. I dug Mickey cause was the funny one & sang some of my fave songs, Mike the actual musician who had that cute Texas accent & silly beanie, & then Peter the dumb blonde who just seemed like he needed a caretaker. Loved them all for different reasons. I always thought they'd make cool neighbors. They had that awesome beach pad, I could cook for them, they'd sing & play for me, Davy & I could take long walks on the beach & make those starry eyes at each other, oh the groovy times would abound!!

Non-fictional:
- Mike Rowe. Definitely. He's got a great voice, local boy & a great hairy chest. Plus, since he's done all those Dirty Jobs you just KNOW he'd be ready & willing to try ANYTHING if ya know whutta mean **winkwinknudgenudge**!!

"Mrs. Coach" Tami Taylor (Connie Britton) Friday Night Lights.

"Number Three" Margene Henrickson (Ginnifer Flowers) Big Love.

"Chris's Mom" Rochelle (Tichina Arnold) Everybody Hates Chris.

1. Coach Taylor from FNL - a sexy family man with an adorable accent

2. McDreamy - he leans better than any other man I know

3. Alex Karev from Grey's - steamy, sexy, dirty and a little bit good all mixed in there

...oops, forgot #4

Elliot from Law and Order SVU!!!! A man who saves children AND looks good doing it!!

~ Erik Delco -- CSI: Miami
~ Joe Dubois -- (Allison's husband) Medium
~ Christian Troy -- Nip/Tuck (I totally agree w/you oregonchick)
~ From back in the day: Sully (from Dr. Quinn)

Jonathan Brandis --- Seaquest!! HAHAHA

Hey, Bored@home, you like hairy guys? Well, here I am!

Hey, Bored @ Home:
The Mike Rowe you speak of happens to be my cousin. He grew up in Baltimore and went to Towson. You wouldn't believe some of the stories he tells (stuff that went awry or didn't make the show). He's a cool dude. He's also married (sorry).

Riggins on Friday Night Lights. He is so easy on the eyes and tries to do the right thing. And I love the hair.

Hey niceFLguy, tell Discovery to update Mike's bio so other women won't be disappointed. Here's Mike's bio information from Discovery:

Birthdate: March 18, 1962
Hails From: Baltimore, Md.
Marital Status: Single
Current Residence: San Francisco, Calif.
Interests/Hobbies: Reading, writing and a bit of running.
On Hosting Dirty Jobs: "Be careful what you wish for."
Discovery.com Log-In: mikerowe

If we are throwing in characters from the past, I was very in love with Sam from Quantum Leap.

I think I like intelligent, law enforcement guys...

Booth (David Boreanez) on Bones: this show fulfills the void in me left by The X-Files, both in plot and dreamy lead actor.

Nick (George Eads) on CSI: I've had a crush on George Eads since forever - it started when he was on the short-lived Savannah primetime soap opera (set in my hometown of Savannah, Georgia).

"Retro" crush: Don Johnson, both on Miami Vice and Nash Bridges. I still to this day watch Nash Bridges reruns when I'm at home during the day.

Ned from Pushing Daisies, with the puppy dog eyes and the snappy dialogue and the pies (plus I still haven't forgotten my huge crush on Lee Pace's character in Wonderfalls)
Turk from Scrubs. Funny, smart, goofy as all get out.
Sayid. What can I say that hasn't already been? Yum.
Jon Stewart. I know he's technically not a "character" but still. Love the snark, love the brains, love the giggle, and especially love when he gets all worked up like with Chris Matthews.

And, even though they're disqualified by the "aired in 2007" rule, top tv crush of all time:
Malcolm Reynolds, aka Captain Tightpants, from Firefly. Sigh. The perfect package of strong, sweet, funny, and yummmmmmy.
and, runner up:
Spike from Buffy. Even AFTER he got his soul. Just go back & watch the show where he and Buffy bring the house crashing down around them because of their... um... intensity, if you wonder why.

I (heart) Mike Rowe in a big way. I didn't know we could put non-fictional people on this list.

dang, there's a lot of posts today (this one should be somewhere around 130). Hooray for Friday crushes!

1. House - those eyes! (swoon) and when he smiles ... wow
2. Wilson (from House) - so cute, you want to take him home; totally loyal friend and good heart
3. Booth (Bones) - gorgeous, great dresser, sweet, loves his kid
4. Chase (House) - Australian accent, cute
5. Steven Colbert - hilarious, nice smile

Jim Halpert from "The Office" - his pining for Pam in Seasons 1-3 made this happily-married 30-something woman feel like a teenager again. And I'm interested to see what happens to him now that they are together.

Kinda weird - but - Elliot Stabler from "Law & Order: SVU" - he's got that macho cop thing, but also tries hard to be a good husband and dad.

I love Keith O, Jemaine *and* Bret (weedy shy guy) but Jon Hamm as Don Draper on Mad Men is just So Smokin' HOT. *drool*

"#2 - Steven Colbert. Smart, witty, tongue in cheek bad-boy."

I'm glad somebody else thinks Steven Colbert is sexy. I heart him.

And what about BILL MAHER! He's not good-looking, but I have a feeling he'd be really good in bed. It's strickly a I-wanna-do-him-once-but-keep-it-a-shameful-secret crush!

*sigh* If you can't beat the rule breakers join 'em.

*sigh* If you can't beat the rule breakers join 'em.

Brian Williams and Anderson Cooper then...I've had a crush on Brian since Junior High.

I forgot Fernando Sucre- He's a true friend who alls seems to have Michael's back.

Sheriff Underlay formerly of Invasion currently on Prison Break (can't remember the character name)- He was a badarsed Fed and no a depressed junkie. That can't be the only reason I'm crushing but it's all I've got.

Jack Bauer dang it- the man can make it across country and the globe in the course of one day. Huge crush.

Girl crush on Ana Maria now departed from Lost. She can just kick major arse. Love it!

WDC...Did you love Brian Williams on SNL, then? I thought he was really good.

I have to go with Ned from "Pushing Daisies". I don't know if it is his Oscar the Grouch eyebrows or that cute grin . . .

George Michael Bluth!!

1. Inspector Foyle [Michael Kitchen] in Foyle's War on PBS: beautiful beautiful blue eyes and such a sexy, quiet yet forceful way about him. Yummy.

2. Det. Green [Jesse L. Martin] on Law and Order: because he's a hottie and I love it when he's all laid-back and then some bad guy ticks him off -- the quick shift he makes from uber-cool to hard-ass policeman is so sexy.

3. Carlos Solis [have no idea of the actor's real name] on Desparate Housewives: not sure why exactly, I just think post-divorce from Gabrielle, he's gotten this really nice, warm vibe.

4. Jack Rudolph [Steven Weber] on Studio 60: Total hottie plus an intriguing combination of hard-nosed producer and genuine caring about his people.

5. Brian the dog [unknown] on Family Guy: Really, I'm totally embarrassed by this and hardly know what to say . . .I say . . . I think it's the accent. Thank goodness this forum is anonymous.

". Brian the dog [unknown] on Family Guy: Really, I'm totally embarrassed by this and hardly know what to say . . .I say . . . I think it's the accent. Thank goodness this forum is anonymous."

ROFL

Ooh. Good call, Tom. Forgot about Big Love. *Definitely* Margene! She's adorable, sweet, hot, a little ditzy, seems like fun, and is learning to stand up for herself!

WDC...Did you love Brian Williams on SNL, then? I thought he was really good.

I was never really into SNL, so I missed it. I'll have to catch the repeat or search out You Tube.

And actually, I'm on the train, so I've missed the evening news for the last 3 years, too. But I grew up watching him and he always seems so calm and grounded.

This is an awesome Friday list..

1. Sayid (he's too pretty to sweat, he glistens) LOST

2. Lee Adama (Battlestar Galactica) The speech he gave at the end of last season in the courtroom--man he looks just as good in pinstripes then in the uniform.

3.Ned--Pushing Daises I think everyone has said why.

4. Sark/Kensei/Adam from Heroes/Alias

5. Mick St. John, Moonlight

Honorable Mentions:
Joe Dubois, Medium,
Dan Vassar (Kevin Mckidd), Journeyman,
Ted, HIMYM
Luka, ER
McDreamy, Grey's

Man I was in LOVE with Josh from the West Wing :)

Girl Crushes? Vernoica Mars(VM), Sydney Bristow (Alias), Neela (ER, or maybe i just love Parminder Nagra)

I think both Margene and Nicky from Big Love are gorgeous.

Liz Lemon(30 Rock): the smartest, most beautiful messed up person on TV

Juliet(Lost):something about a woman who can smile at you and kill you in the same breath.

Liz Lemon(30 Rock): OK I really really love Liz Lemon

GOOD LORD how did I forget Gossip Girl??? This show has the most attractive and stylish cast on TV today, hands down. The guy who plays Dan Humphrey makes me drool, and despite the fact that his character is a tool, I love Chuck. Burlesque clubs, hotel penthouse parties, delightully dishevelled hair? I'd party with that guy.

I also have total fashion crushes on Blake Lively and Leighton Meester. A gold sequined shift dress with black tights and a denim jacket? If only I could pull that off.

1) Amanda Tapping/Lt. Col. Samantha Carter of Stargate. Smart, dry wit, can kill with her hands or a look.
2) Lisa Edlestein/Dr. Lisa Cuddy of "House, MD." Smart, sarcastic, wears red thongs.
3) Kristen Bell/Veronica Mars of "Veronica Mars." Smart, quick with a quip, handy with a Taser, has a cute doggy.
4) Caroline Dhavernas/Jaye Tyler of "Wonderfalls." Smart, slackerly sarcastic, adorable with the mugging, good listener.
5) Megan Gallagher/Catherine Black/Jillian Wallace of "Millennium" and "24." From Reading, PA.

Stringer Bell from the Wire- Although this is technically an entry for 2005, this character was a ruthless killer and drug dealer yet he was smart, sexy and used Robert's Rules of Order when he ran his meetings w/his crew. Plus the actor, Idris Elba who played him is smokin' hot.

Sayid from Lost- my crush is on the man that is Naveen Andrews though. I fell in love w/him when I saw him in the "English Patient".

The Sheriff from Eureka (Colin Ferguson)- hot, common sense smart, hot, rational person, hot, good father, hot, funny, hot.

Sylar from Heroes
David Anders from Heroes/Alias
Rev. Brian Darling from Dirty Sexy Money
House

This list makes me think that I really need to seek help. I don't just like the bad boy, I love the sociopath. Disregard for all others and the ability to cripple or kill me emotionally and physically just turns me on.

Thank you for my breakthrough.

Alright I forgot some people.

Peter Petrelli--but I have to admit i've had a thing for Milo since his Jess days on Gilmore Girls-(I liked Jess b/c he was a bad boy, but smart, Peter (up until the latest eps because he's sensative and seemed to have a decent moral compass).

Someone up there mentioned David James Elliot--Harmon Rabb was one of my first TV Crushes--why else would I watch JAG for so long....

Bret- Flight of the Conchords. you can all have Jemaine. I'll take Brit.
Ned (Lee Pace)- Pushing Daisies. sigh. also great on wonderfalls.
Chase - House. Ok, so he's bland but good to look at. Omar Epps is cute too.

I have strange old man crushes too...

al swearengen ( ian mcshane - deadwood)
The mustache. He's so bad, but there is a heart in there. Not on in 2007, but I don't care.
richard belzer ( forget his character's name - L&O svu. I don't know why.

Jack Bauer - 24
Hank Moody - Californication
Fox Mulder - The X files (Hmmm...I'm sensing a theme)
Steven Colbert -The Colbert Report
Jim Halpert - The Office

ok, what is this Flight of the Conchords I keep hearing about? I've never heard of it.

How has no one mentioned Seth from the OC? Adam Brody is one of those people I'd never want to meet, because I wouldn't want him to ruin Seth for me. Sandy was pretty crushable too.

Spike, evil or not, he's just hot (I totally agree about the episode where he and Buffy bring the house down)

Pacey Witter from Dawson's. Whatever happened to Joshua Jackson?

Josh from West Wing. Not so much Bradley Whitford in Studio 60 (which I maintain was a great show), so this totally supports the character aspect of this.

3:30.
It's a show on HBO - Aired earlier this year. Starring 2 cute new zealander guys who have a folk-y rock band in real life and play less successful versions of themselves. They are trying to make it in NYC and have these awesomely silly songs/fantasy sequences.

To the person who listed Brian the dog from "Family Guy"-well done. I need a new computer screen and keyboard now.

Also, I will add that I too have a girl crush on Neela from "ER". And though he is not a character, I am deeply in love with Jon Stewart. And I would definitely vote for Tim Gunn for president.

1. Adam Mayfair, Desperate Housewives, but only because Nathan Fillion was so amazing in Firefly and Serenity as Captain Mal and also amazing as the hottie doctor in Waitress.
2. Murray, the hapless agent in Flight of the Conchords, because he's so clueless, yet so sweet. I dig their accents in particular.
3. Jemaine, the Kiwi hottie from Flight of the Conchords because he has such a deep voice and sense of humor.
4. Bret is also amazing from Flight of the Conchords. He did a funny riff on the dance sequence from Billy Elliott that was the funniest thing ever. Can you tell this is my favorite show of 2007?
5. Sayid from LOST (although I dig all the ones Liz likes). He could torture me any time.

Although Jon Stewart is not a character, Stephen Colbert is. He is playing a dim-witted right-wing nut job in the line of O'Reilly (too bad he's not a character, we could just kill him off and move on)

Ok, I'm going to have to check out this Flight of the Conchords when it comes out on DVD. I don't have HBO.

A male hetero viewpoint:

Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) from Torchwood--love her gapped front teeth

Ezri Dax (Nicole de Boer) from Star Trek Deep Space Nine--I want to see how low her spots go

Nyssa (Sarah Sutton) from Doctor Who (4th Doctor)-so pretty smart and brave I named my daughter after her.

Dang, this year was a gold mine of hot dudes on TV. All of these have already been mentioned but...

1) JEMAINE. He has a certain oddball appeal, like one of those square watermelons. He's so rectangular and adorable.
2) Sayid from Lost! Godddd that is one glistening, triangulating, hot hot Iraqi.
3) Stephen Colbert counts as a character, right? Then I will have to include Stephen Colbert. I love him and his slightly asymmetrical ears.
4) Christian Troy. Even though the last season of Nip/Tuck kinda lost me, Christian Troy remained an industrial strength hottie.

Oh hey I forgot Titus Pullo from Rome. How could I? THIRTEEEEEN!

Mark Harmon, currently of NCIS.

(1) Mick St. John - Moonlight - that sexy rumble!
(2) McSteamy - Grey's - that knowing smirk
(3) Sayid & Saywer - Lost - it's already been said much better by many.

Nathan Petrelli- "Heroes." One of the few really nuanced and consistently interesting characters on this series, made possible by the fact that Adrian Pasdar acts circles around whoever else he happens to be on screen with (although he is matched by Angela, and it's a pleasure to see two good, subtle actors together on this show).

Noah Bennet- "Heroes." Same reason, substituting "Jack Coleman" as appropriate. HRG has provided a lot of the real emotional core of "Heroes"-- he's a lying, duplicitous murderer, but love for his daughter is the force that drives him. AND he manages to be the baddest of badasses on the show WITH NO SUPERPOWERS.

Jin- "Lost." Okay, so Daniel Dae Kim is evidently not as bright as one might have hoped, but he is stunning. I've been following him around the dial since he was the only good thing about 'Babylon 5: Crusade.' He, too, is a subtle and involving actor. Too bad his current status on "Lost" gives him ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO.

The Doctor, "Doctor Who" Evidently I have a thing for morally complex characters played by subtle (at least in the new series) actors. But I dug the Doctor long before he was a handsome young thing with a God complex and a series of toothy girls following him around.

I have a major crush on the Pie Man/Ned (Lee Pace) from Pushing Daisies right now.

in no particular order

- Samantha Carter - SG-1 and Atlantis
- Marian from Robin Hood BBC
- Chloe from Smallville

Booth and Coach Taylor all the way - for all the reasons already listed.

Also, I just LOVE Rufus on Gossip Girl (showing my age, huh?) He is just so cute, seems dependable, and always seems to need a hug.........................

To niceFLguy:

I'm married too but that doesn't mean a girl can't fantasize about Mike Rowe, Jon Bon Jovi & Jason Lee doing all my housework shirtless.

There's an untapped market there hairy chested guys, Topless Housework for Lonely Housewives!!

Definitely, definitely Jim Halpert. All he has to do is look at the camera when Michael says something idiotic. Jim doesn't say a word and I know exactly what he's thinking. (and, yes, maybe it's a little more boring since he got together with Pam, but at least she-unlike Karen-looks like she washes her hair from time to time).

Jim from The Office - let me count the ways. I love Jim. All that he went through for Pam and how long he's loved her. He is very passionate for Italian food. In fact he is in love with Italian food.

Chuck from Chuck - so cute!

Stephen Colbert - I guess you can say I have a thing for nerds.

Wow, I only had to think for a second: "Don Draper" from Mad Men. He's hot, confident (some might say arrogant), and a womanizer; the kind of man who would make your real life hell, but is really, really fun to watch.

To heck with 2007. Past and Preent, hands-down, no-arguments-allowed: Mary Tyler Moore. Who doesn't love Legs/Laura/Mary? She has it all -- smart, sexy, sweet, funny.

From the most well known to the least, Elizabeth Malalmalamaokalani White Logue. Doesn't ring a bell? She's burned into my brain as the poster girl for "Hawaii Five-O." Yes, the girl on the beach in the opening credits.

Emma Caulfield/Anya from "Buffy." Snarky, completely off-center, sexy, dangerous.

I'll throw in for Mick St. John, my newest TV crush. "Moonlight" isn't the best show I've ever seen, but then again, I might watch Alex O'Laughlin read the phonebook.

the 3 Losties that Liz listed..Sawyer, Sayid and Jack,
Stephen Colbert,
current Doctor Who - David Tennant
Tim Olyphant's character on Deadwood

girl crush: Liz Lemon, she's my hero!

Ok, here they are and I'M SHOCKED no one else mentioned these two:

Sam Seaborn from the West Wing
Josh Lyman from the West Wing

These guys were so smart and very sexy in the beginning of the show and they had such great banter. I'm talking the first 4 season with Aaron Sorkin

I'll also jump on the House bandwagon - God those eyes!

And finally to Snarky Squirrel - Brian's actually played by the creator of Family Guy Seth MacFarlane. The crazy thing is - he sounds exactly like Brian. He doesn't do anything to the voice to sound like Brian's character - it takes a little getting used to when you listen to the commentary.

Cobie Smulders AND Alyson Hannigan from "How I Met Your Mother." Some adorableness left over from her stint as Willow for Aly, and Robin "Sparkles" is just too hilarious.

These are a little varied...
Scully - every male geek wanted her
Dark Angel - never watched the show, but man, she looked good in the ads
Rachel - Yeah, I know... but she was really cute, especially in the first couple of years
Elyse Keaton - She was a mom I'd...

Henry Fitzroy (Kyle Schmid) from Blood Ties. Smooth and sexy - what more can you ask for?

Jack Shepard (Matthew Fox) from Lost

Derek Shepard (Patrick Dempsey) from Grey's Anatomy

From Grey's:
- McDreamy, the way he just looks at Meredith with the 'I love you even though I shouldn't love you'
- McSteamy, dang, he's just hot even though he's a swarmy character
- Denny, boy did he just melt my heart

From Private Practise:
- Tim Daly is just wow, he's got that rugged look

From Chuck:
- Chuck is a cutie, sweet, endearing, innocent
- Casey - I know shock, but I just love the character and Adam Baldwin plays it perfectly and is nice to look at

Life:
- Damian Lewis - fell in love with him in Band of Brothers, and although the voice is a little annoying, he's still good to look at

Office:
- Jim - sigh, I just love the romantics - a little bit goofy/disheveled which I like

Dirty, Sexy, Money:
- Peter Krause - he's just a good looking man and looks amazing in a suit. Love that he's the rationale person in the sea of money.

Cane:
- Jimmy Smits - again, another good looking man who gets better looking as he ages. He is a passionate character with a bad side.

Brothers and Sisters:
- Rob Lowe - loved him in West Wing, really like him on this show - one of the reasons I started watching it.

Lost:
- Sawyer the bad boy who looks fantastic with a five o'clock shadow and has the deep down heart - I love the scenes when he's reading with the borrowed glasses...

BCM,NY, I find Damian Lewis' american accent a little annoying as well, but his natural british accent is so not annoying.

Sawyer (Lost) - Two words: Cage sex.

Sayid (Lost) - The curls, the accent, the brains behind the whole operation. It is also a turn on to know a guy can kill someone with his bare hands but (usually) chooses not to.

Coach Eric Taylor (Friday Night Lights) - He is smart, sexy, funny (the snide remarks and one liners) and has the only functional family in town. And he wins state championships!

Tim Riggins (Friday Night Lights) - He seems always to have a look of sexy mischief on his face. I want to believe he has hidden depth, but it might just be the sexy mischief. He acts tough and above it all but he is also like a lost puppy.

Jin (Lost) - Hot hot hottie hot. Romantic but also kicks ass, literally. When he roundhouse kicked that guy, I got all hot an bothered.

Johnny Galecki from Big Bang Theory, I think I still have a crush on him from Roseanne, and the nerdliness definitely dosen't hurt.

Adam Brody from the OC -another nerd

and Barry Watson from Samantha Who? The lingering looks just do me in.

Oh and Joshua Jackson, Pacey Witter rules!

Agent Fitzgerald, Without a Trace

Josh Lyman, West Wing

Sam Seaborn, West Wing

Nick Stokes, CSI (okay--this one is cheating because I LOVE GEORGE EADS)

Dan Humphrey AND Serena VanDerWoodsen from Gossip Girl. One's a girl-crush. Both are so adorable in their awkwardness.

Tim Gunn, Project Runway

Barney, How I Met Your Mother (the character isn't gay, just the actor!)

House, House

I watch too much tv.

Oh wait, Tim Gunn isn't a character. My bad. I take it back.

Jack Donaghee from 30 Rock 'cause he's a big sexy cuddly teddy bear.

McSteamy from Grey's Anatomy, 'cause I'm thinking up against a wall, as Liz would say.

Nick from DSM, because he makes conflicted sooo sexy.

Sebastian (Karen's third husband) from DSM, because his short appearance on the show had me going to IMDB to find out all about him.

Tim Daly (can't even remember the character's name!) from Private Practice because, well, he's Tim Daly, for God's sake.

Late entry:

Colby on Numb3rs. Run, Colby, Run. Jump, Colby, Jump. Swim, Colby, Swim. Wet Colby is the best.

Tim Riggins: In real life, he'd be a disaster. But so hot, you want to be the one he changes for.

Matt Saracen (FNL): When he stops stuttering and actually smiles, you realize how gorgeous he is. Acting less sweet this year, but he's still the boy who sang to his grandma.

Warrick (CSI): Love his eyes.

Starbuck (BSG): She's gone from being a girlcrush to a plain old crush. She's such a badass.

Veronica Mars: Smart, funny, capable. Love her.

Nate/Chace Crawford on Gossip Girl. Good enough for Carrie Underwood? Good enough for me.

Since somebody mentioned Michael Kitchen from "Foyle's War," it's only fair to mention Honeysuckle Weeks/Samantha "Sam" Stewart. Plucky, sweet, and quite smashing. And the name is a treat, too.

1. McGyver
C'mon, what's not sexy about a man who can make a bomb out of a paper clip, a stick of gum and a rubber band? And also, conveniently, emotionally unavailable ...

2. Dan Rydell
Sportscaster on the ill-fated show, Sports Night, that I loved. Charming, intelligent, sarcastic, neurotic, principled and devoted to his friends and co-workers ... not to mention played by Josh Charles, who's been lovable ever since Dead Poets Society. Love him. Miss him.

Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs. The perfect man; great looking,(but not a pretty boy, ugh), great build (and not a showoff at all, didn't even notice the body at first because his personality is so great), funny as hell, always laughing and smiling (gorgeous smile), great with animals(important, to me, anyway), smart and pretty much up for anything. I can't beleive he's single (I think he is, could be wrong).Love love love. Also really LIKE.

Dennis Haysbert (President Palmer on 24). Here's my vote alright. And the voice...oh my god. He just kind of radiates integrity and strength. And sex.

Michael Chiklis (Vic Mackey on The Sheild).He's bad, he's good, he's big and strong and crazy and I can't help it. Yum.

McNulty on The Wire. He really grew on me, didn't love him at first. Slightly out of control Irish guy...deeper than you originally thought.

Denis Leary. The boyfriend/husband you just couldn't fix. The guy is a train wreck (only on the show)but I love him .

Many from The Wire:

#1 is Stringer Bell -- I know he's been gone for several years but so good looking! Remember him in a suit and glasses in Ep 1, S1? Or when he told DeAngelo's baby mama he's an XL, not an L?

Jimmy McNulty -- cute and nice buns/smile.

Lt/Maj Daniels -- OMG when he took his shirt off (in S2 I think).

Bunk -- not conventionally handsome but sexy as hell anyway.

Michael (S4) -- he's a teenager now but is going to grow up to be a very good looking guy.

Carcetti -- just cute, not really sexy, but his earnestness appeals.

Cutty -- he's kind of smoldering

Omar -- how can you not love this character? Great smile and body.

Marlo has an interesting feline grace and look, but he's too creepy to be hot.

Dexter -- Michael C. Hall is a doll in the title role. I'd like to touch Sgt. Doakes' arms. But the hot one is Rudy/Brian/ITK. Technically, he was on the show in 2007 (flashbacks/hauntings). I'd definitely like to see more of Christian Camargo.

I really don't watch any dramas exce
