The Hot Women of Hot TV Hotness #2

Well, seeing as how my previous "hot women" post is by far the most popular thing on this blog, I figure it's time for a sequel. Besides, there's some new hot women on the TV shows that I watch that make those shows even more, well, watchable. With their hotness. Once again, fair warning to my female readers: this is pure, unadulterated guy talk*, so if the thought of your man drooling over some PYT causes you mental trauma, just keep walking. I hear there's a sale at Target.

Alyson Hannigan (How I Met Your Mother, CBS) - To be honest, I couldn't believe that Ms. Hannigan didn't make it onto my prior list. I've been a fan since her breakout role in American Pie. Geeky hotness? Funny coolness? To be honest, I'm not sure what it is about her--but she's got an adorable smile and great hair, which she changes often. In fact, if you've watched How I Met Your Mother closely, they track her hairstyle closely so that they can get it right in flashbacks. If you're not a fan yet, get on board the Hannigan express. You won't regret it. (Okay, unless you see Date Movie. Then you'll regret it.)

Kaley Cuoco (The Big Bang Theory, CBS) - Never thought much of her in 8 Simple Rules, but I think she's really come into her stride in Big Bang (which, BTW, are you watching? If you're a fan of my blog, you need to be watching this show). Oh, and I love how the costume people take every opportunity to put her in push up bras, lingerie, midriffs--or sometimes all three! I suppose it makes sense--she's the hot eye candy for all of the geeky guys on this show. No one wants to see her in a hooded parka. Like Suzanne Somers before her, she's there to make you drool first, laugh second. Except nowadays, there's quite a bit more skin allowed on national TV. And, she can be making a blatantly sexual joke while standing there in her tiny, tiny clothes. Progress, gentlemen!

Julianne Hough (Dancing With The Stars, ABC) - Alright, let me just state the ridiculously obvious: Julianne is why men watch Dancing With The [D-List] Stars. In fact, my interest in that awkward, painful-to-watch abomination is directly proportional to if Julianne is still on it, and what outfit she's wearing. Don't talk to me about the other "hot chicks" on the show; one looks like a boy, one looks like a man, and one has a full mile-and-a-half of forehead. (I'll let you figure out which-is-which.) No, no, Julianne in a Pulp Fiction wig is molten iron hotter than any of them. QED.

Paget Brewster (Criminal Minds, CBS) - Stick with me on this one. 1) Miss Brewster does not photograph well. I'll just come right out with that. Her striking features just don't translate that well into two dimensions. However, this is a blog post about TV, and in high def primetime, she looks great. 2) She's chummy with the Suicide Girls website and has even photographed for them. 3) She's self-deprecating! She once said of herself: "I'm like this wiry freak they pulled out of a bar two months ago and said, 'Let's throw it on the wall and see if it sticks.'" 4) She's stizzacked.

April Bowlby (Two and a Half Men, CBS) - I'm not going to say much about her other than she's the eye candy on this abysmal comedy that my wife enjoys, and she's got a ridiculous body and great eyes. It's criminal how much they exploit this poor girl for cheap laughs, but frankly, I might as well be bitching that Chipotle's burritos are "just too big." If she wants to parade around in front of millions of people in this, the least I can do is watch.

Melanie Lynskey (Two and a Half Men, CBS) - The other pair of the pair that makes this half-assed comedy worth watching. She plays a stalker, and the crazy kind of turns me on. Well, that and the low-cut tops. And the pale skin with red lips. Really, it's all a winner.

Honorable Mentions
Kristen Bell (Heroes, NBC) - I actually had Kristen on my list, but I cut her. Yes, she's beautiful. Yes, she seems into geeky stuff. Yes, it's hot to watch her play a sociopath. But I just can't quite get on the bandwagon. For one thing, she's a little too skinny. For another, I get the feeling she's not completely genuine. I almost, almost get the feeling like this whole "I love geeks" thing is just a carefully crafted ruse to ensure that she'll always have a loyal following. Maybe I'm wrong (and I have no doubt the Veronica Mars army will come rallying to her defense), but I've gotta go with my gut on this one. This is who I am. Take it or leave it.

Alright, so that wraps up another installment. Who do you agree with? Who'd I miss? Who are you tuning in to see every week? Leave a comment and let me know!

*Yeah right. You'd swear off men forever if you ever heard that.

Holy reason to give Two and a Half Men another chance. I never thought I'd have one of those.

If I had to choose between Allison Hannigan and the dykier looking brunnette on How I Met Your Mother, I'd go with dykier brunette. She's hot with some sort of elven quality about her.

Good list, nice links.

"Elven quality," I like that.
