What TV show did you/will you watch strictly for the eye candy?

    Ed. But I really did wind up liking the show.

    If Alicia Witt ever shows up on TV, I stop cold. And likewise with Ashley Williams.

    "Brazilian Butt Lift" infomercial.

    When I was in high school and then a couple years of college, my then-girlfriend was a near spitting image of Valerie Bertinelli (18 months younger than both of us).

    So I used to watch ODAAT to see her, especially when they babed her up after the first season or so. Funnily enough, they usually made her look like my GF had looked a year or so earlier.

    When the show debuted in 1975 when we were seniors and 17, VB looked like Beth had looked when she was a freshman/sophomore, a freckly-faced tomboy type (well, kinda). When Beth went to tighter tops ;) , eyeshadow and fluffy hair in 1976-77, Barb Cooper followed about a year or so later.

    If I got 10 minutes into the show and it was pretty obvious she wasn't going to play much of a part, I'd just click it off. I sure as hell wasn't going to sit around and watch Bonnie Franklin and Mackenzie Phillips.

    Tragically, 35 years later now, 25 years married to another guy, Beth looks more like Bonnie Franklin than what VB looks like now. A bad bleach job, a semi-bob haircut, some kind of ultra-weight loss regimen (she was never fat to begin with) and some slightly-strange looking plastic surgery. ::)

    Haven't seen her in person in 30 years or so and it's probably better that way. I'll just remember her as she was.

    The girls from Just the Ten of Us. I noticed the girl who played the youngest of the four teenage girls was 25 when the show started.

    Chris Hansen is my vice. And he was really nice the two times I met him.

    Where did you think I went?

    And, oddly, three of the girls played parts in four Nightmare on Elm Street movies.

    When we are both home, but I have work to do, I'll tell my wife she can work on clearing some of those cooking shows off the DVR and I won't mind. But I'm secretly glancing over the laptop at Giada and the woman from French Food at Home.

    Food porn. Giada is definitely the porn star on the channel.

    Yeah, whatsherface, Gabrielle Carteris. And she didn't look young for her age, either. They should have cast her as one of the moms.

    Battle of the Network Stars. They show old ones on ESPN Classic each week and I'm pretty amazed at how they were able to make a swimsuit fabric that was so thin for women like Charlene Tilton, Heather Thomas and Linda Carter but still managed to actually hold everything in. Also, the water at Pepperdine in the dunk tank must have been kept at a balmy 33 degrees.

    I've noticed how as the seasons go on, both these shows have developed techniques of how to somewhat discreetly get cleavage into the shots. Lots more trips to the fridge, where they have to bend over and get something off the bottom shelf or shots that pan down to the stove top that linger just a touch longer going past the chest.

    It's an art.
