HA! HA! (http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/TV/11/03/sprj.caf03.television.sweep.reut/index.html)
Who would have thought?
-
Yeah, I just heard. The show was atrocious. Truly unfunny. Good riddance. :cool:
-
ME, ME, I woulda thought. It was unwatchable, which says little for a show with a hot cast. Actually, the chicks were hot, the men...not so much.

That's almost always the way in all of tv.

Come now are you saying that that fat guy on King of Queens is not up to par with his cute wife. I'm not complaining...then again I am a guy.

It's alright once in awhile but when the majority of the women must be in very good shape and moderately to highly attractive but the men can let it all go, and not just their hair, it gets very frustrating and unfair. We end up with the message that all women must be a few steps down from Victoria's Secret's models (sure, we'd all love to be) but the men don't have to do anything to attract them except exist. We want some eye candy sometimes too. Or, at least, a fairly believable match. No matter what you thought of the show, at least Rosanne and John Goodman looked like a believable couple.
-
What shows did have male eye-candy? I am no expert but I would guess:
Friends
???
-
I thought it was because women are less shallow than men and would prefer leading men to be more well rounded and entertaining.
Men, on the other hand, just want T and A.
-
BJ and the Bear (both the guy and the monkey)
Magnum PI
Dukes of Hazzard
the whole friends cast is very generically attractive

Yuck! Tom Selleck? UGH!
I know that I'm in a very small minority with this one but I never, ever saw what was so appealing with that man. Nothing against him personally. He just does nothing for me.
The soaps usually have the better looking people, both male and female. The night time shows sometimes have nice looking guys in career roles but rarely as husbands or boyfriends yet the women are almost always hot, short of character actresses. At least, the leading cast. I can't name too much because I watch so little tv. It's not just me either, it's a well-known practice in night time tv casting. BTW, most of we women aren't that deep. We just let you think that. :p

you get that idea from watching too much TV ;)
-
the problem is people on soaps cant act....that why they are hot.
girls are always with retarded guys to make normal males feel like one day they could have a shot at a hot chick. "if he could get her i could get her..."
NO one will watch a crappy show with fat chicks. but a crappy show with hot chicks can last years.
-
the a team had some fine looking men in it,face.
also baywatch and 90210 both had a couple of great looking men, scrubs has that black guy on, hes cute.

But as I noted above, these are career guys. It's the guys who play married men or steady boyfriends who are the, let's say, less appealing men with hot women. That's what bugs me.
Daytime has it together. All My Children and One Life To Live finally started casting some very hot guys in the past 10 or so years. They use to be just photogenic but very little in the heat department. I'd love to be cast in a love triangle with some of those men!

Again, women are expected to always be the hot ones...in real life, and the men keep going on thinking it's okay not to try to improve themselves. And women are at least half of the viewing public. In fact, probably more than 50%. We need some help and enjoyment too.
No wonder I love metrosexual men. :roll:
-
yeah, Mr. T is so fucking hot. i'd play priest with him. :D
daytime also has the worst story lines. (ive seen soap operas while with my mom and grandma in new york.)
young "attractive" men dont know how to act in those minor roles, they are taking the career roles.
you also need the retards to make the main characters look better.
-
Flawd, you haven't seen enough daytime to know what you are talking about. Or maybe the right ones.
Sadly, I have.

I hate to ruin it for you jag, but they prefer hot chicks over hot men on TV too.
It's the actual gayone's that want hot men on TV.
-
Double post. My bad.

Now how does that ruin it for me? That's ideal. Kind of like a sort of Gay guy but Straight.
Now, if only I were a hot chick on tv.
And I don't mind hot chicks being on tv. I just think it needs to be a little more balanced. Hot chicks should be cast along side hot guys.
-
i try and improve myself* but its not really working, i'm to shy to be a male. plus i only know the color black cuz its the best color. and hate all normal kinds of clothes. i wont get into that.
*note: in real life...
some people are born ugly which is why i cant wait till im older so i can be on one of those crappy reality shows or rich cause im i dont think im that bad.
-
I see.
I thought you were looking for someone to help lobby the networks for more hot guys on TV and that's why you liked metero's.
-
Flawd, you're only 15. You're hormones are raging and your psyche is out of whack. Not being mean there; it's all just part of being a teenager.
Black is cool. Just stay healthy and take care of yourself and you should be fine.

Not really. Would be nice but I really only watch my soaps anyway, so why bother? All the hot guy action I want, lately, on All My Children and One Life To Live. In fact, they've outnumbered the women lately. Not the normal fair. Even a hot Brit on AMC. :D

That's just in San Francisco.

ha!!!! please tell me you came up with that on the spot.
-
i know i am a crazy horny teen but
dont fail to mention the hot chicks on soaps...(better then those stupid guys), soaps are great when sick from school or day off like today and tomorrow. but only good on mute when you pretend the story line is some sick, perverted, evil, thing.
mary magdelin on history channel, jesus wife?
"da vinci code". its very interesting.
my stupid comment-mary was jesus's groupie for jesus's band Jesus and the 12 Deciples.
-
gay is the new black...ahahahahahahaahahaha
it is.
-
my bad, "mary, jesus's bitch?" is on abc

an update on the original british coupling that was broadcasting on weta:
i emailed them and was told that they moved it because it really wasn't proper to bump frontline which has been a weta staple for years. currently the saturday night line up, where it originally aired, doesn't have room but they will keep viewer requests in mind.
so email weta, like i did and a few friends of mine, and tell them you want it back.
in the meantime, you can get the first couple of seasons thru netflix. :)
