The Hot Women of Hot TV Hotness

{Disclaimer: Ladies, this post is intended for those of us with a Y chromosome. You're welcome to read it, but you probably won't be interested.}

Guys, there are some hot women on TV. Especially recently, it seems to me, there has been a reinvigoration of remarkably attractive women into television. As they always have, producers know that they can attract more male viewers to shows that they would not normally be particularly interested in if there's a smoking hot reason to tune in (uh, duh). And our girlfriends and wives (the latter in my case) are thrilled just to have "shared interest" in one of their shows. Really, it's a win-win.

So, all of that being said, I'd like to run down my picks for the hottest chicks on television right now...that appear on shows that I watch. These are in no particular order:

Katharine McPhee (American Idol, Fox) - I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say, oh, I dunno, goddess. My gosh. Forget that chick from "Sex and the City," this is the "Great American Brunette." If only she could not be so, oh how can I put this delicately...damn annoying. Harsh I know. And it's probably an overstatement. It's just that she's pretty hyperactive. Like some kind of crazy-hot Yorkie. Some chicks might think that it's charming, and I'm sure she'll grow out of it eventually, but I think it bugs most guys. Katharine, if you're reading: more smoldering, less bopping. I have spoken.

Giada De Laurentiis (Everyday Italian, Food Network) - I've always enjoyed cooking shows. And if they involve hot women, I'm even happier. In fact, Spike TV desperately needs a cooking show where the lady chefs run around in an apron and a smile. (There's more where that came from producers! Call me!)Man, growing up there was never any hot chicks doing cooking shows. Dude, I would've been happy to have Julia Child. Instead, I got Graham Kerr and Two Fat Ladies. Which brings me to Giada. Sweet Giada. She's only cooking my favorite and native food, Italian. And she does it every episode in a very classy but looow cut top, with perfect hair and nails to match. I know this chick is pretty big right now in the microcosm of "Food Network," but guys, let me tell you, she's going to be busting out soon. Her cups will overfloweth with fame. Between her ample talent and abundant personality, the motorboat of life is just going to be revving up. Heh-heh. Okay, I'm done.

AJ Cook (Criminal Minds, CBS) - Had to throw her in. Not much to say, because she hasn't had a "breakout" episode yet, but this girl has some amazing blue eyes. (I'm a sucker for blue eyes anyway; exempli gratia my wife.) I'm just waiting for the episode where she has to dress in a ridiculously provocative outfit to seduce a suspect and/or go deep undercover. You know it's coming.

Rachael Ray (30 Minute Meals, Food Network) - I'm actually not that into this girl personally, but I can see why other guys would be. And anyone who pops up in FHM is rad in my book. She's got a kinda smoky voice, too, which is cool. For some reason, she reminds me of someone from New York/New Jersey, but then there's a strange hint of Wisconsin/Canada in her accent. (Okay, after actually reading the bio I linked to, I see that I'm right on NY, wrong on Canada. The accent is Boston.)

Jenna Fischer (The Office, NBC) - Obviously a different kind of hot, but c'mon: if you watch The Office, you're in love with Pam. That's just how it works. Sunrise, sunset.

Jennifer Morrison (House, Fox) - Not as curvy as I like, but very cute and sweet. Oh, wait, I just noticed--she has blue eyes, doesn't she? F'ing-A. I'm so frickin' predictable.

Alright, that about wraps it up for now. What hot chicks are you guys tuning in for every week? Drop a comment and let me know. (Oh, and I suppose if any ladies have read through to here, you can post your "hot guys" of TV. I guess.)
