Who can I drool over? Willow Bay . . . Heather Locklear . . . one of the Baywatch women . . . Julia Louise Dreyfus . . . Jeanne Triplehorn is on the Hallmark Hall of Fame tonight in "Old Man' (CBS) at 8 pm CST.

Excellent, Terry -- a gentleman drooler!

This is great, Terry! It's fun to see which women men think are the female equivalents of CF drool-wise. Two of my current favorites are Edmund Grey on All My Children (John Callahan, as I was so kindly informed by another fan here) and William Shockley (Hank on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman). I know the latter is not a conventional droolee, but there's something about him that really appeals to me. And he does generally do the right thing in the end, even though he may act like a jerk for awhile first.

I was watching Keeping Up Appearances last night. The actor who played vicar would have me in church every Sunday morning. Jeremy Critten (I think) is his name.

Anyone out there think that Hugh O'Gorman fron AMC's Remember WENN is the cutest thing on cable- and on a show worth watching! Wanted to know if I wasn't alone out there.

No, but I'm watching a show with Jeanne Triplehorn. They're out in the swaplands.

The list goes on Tina Louise - Ginger on Gilligan's Island Emma Thompson Drew Barrymore Xena Elvira Karen Allen Cissy Spacek Helen Hunt Victoria Abril Maria Bartiromo

]Anyone out there think that Hugh O'Gorman fron AMC's Remember WENN is the cutest thing on cable- and on a show worth watching! Wanted to know if I wasn't alone out there. Oh definately not. I watch it every week. Hugh O'Gorman is a cutie.

Jimmy Smits: he can defend or interrogate me at any time!

And Sam Waterston, ditto.

Terry, Elvira? You are kidding -- right?

Mandy Patinkin?

Amy, I've always had a thing for Mandy Patinkin, myself! (I'm sure that comes as a surprise to you!) He is not really handsome, but there is an intensity about him that is very appealing. I miss Jeffery Geiger on Chicago Hope and love it when he makes an occasiaional appearance (as he did last week!) I really liked him in Yentl and in Sunday in the Park with George, but all time fave performance has to be in The Princess Bride! "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Ok. I'm going to go out on a limb here and confess an attraction that I find slightly embarrassing...Malcom Gets, the man who plays Richard the tortured artist on Caroline in the City. I know, it's a pretty lame show, but I watch it just to see if Richard will ever get around to confessing his love for Caroline! There. Despise me if you dare! ;-)

Cheryl - indeed I dare not despise you (yeah, I persist in watching Caroline in the City too ;). I love Richard's neurotic behaviour (and therefore Malcolm Gets for portraying him so well). Maybe it's just because he stands out in an otherwise ordinary cast. The rumour is that something major is going to happen in the Richard-Caroline business in the Valentine's Day ep (funnily enough!)

Saman: The rumour is that something major is going to happen in the Richard-Caroline business in the Valentine's Day ep (funnily enough!) Ooh! Finally!!!

Cheryl-You are not alone. I too feel a slight attraction for Malcom Gets/Richard. He is the only reason I watch that show. I love his witty, satiricial sense of humor. Very endearing in a man! My all time favorite Richard show has to be the one where he and Caroline dance together, only her jerk/doctor boyfriend shows up. End shot-Richard wandering the streets of NYC, alone. Sigh.

Cheryl, thanks for mentioning The Princess Bride! My favorite book in high school, read five or six, had to buy it 2 or 3 times because I gave it to friends and Never, Ever got it back. Also my favorite line: "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." Also liked Cary Elwes, very debonair, don't you think. "Come sir, we are both men of action. Lying ill becomes us." And that mustache! Loved It.

Baseball announcer Tim McCarver can call me out any ol' tahm (love the accent, too).

He used to announce the Cardinals games with Harry Caray and Joe Garagiola. Being a catcher is hard on your knees.

Speaking of Cardinal catchers, Ted Simmons was kind of a big cutie. Sure could block the plate too.

...all time fave performance has to be in The Princess Bride! My favorite book in high school... Both the movie and the book have always been among my favorites, too. Jimmy Smits: he can defend or interrogate me at any time! Yes, and Dennis Franz is also very sexy. His struggle this last season has had me and a co-worker discussing his every move, and finding him well worth the conversation.

Speaking of Cardinal catchers, Ted Simmons was kind of a big cutie. Sure could block the plate too.

George Clooney.

Thank you Becks! What's "One Fine Day" like? It hasn't been released here yet. I like Anthony Edwards too - but not in Top Gun as much as ER.

A Cute 2 hour sitcom

Saman: I like Anthony Edwards too - but not in Top Gun as much as ER. Have you seen him in the movie Mr. North? Mid-eighties adaptation of the Thornton Wilder novel Theophilos North. Very droolable there. And no glasses.

Amy, what about Tom Pagnozzi? He could catch me anytime! :)

Anne3 - I like the glasses! No I haven't seen anything else featuring Anthony Edwards - I'm just a big fan of ER :)

Wow, Cheryl and I actually like the same person even if it isn't RG. Anyway. I LOVE Mandy Patinkin and saw him on Broadway when he played Che in EVITA with Patti Lupone. He has the most wonderful singing voice. Malcolm Gets, is very sexy. I love his pining after Caroline, so sweet. He has a wonderful sardonic humour. Matthew Perry has always done it for me. Ever since he played Carol's boyfriend in Growing Pains, the one who dies. And last but not least DAVID DUCHOVNY. As Lizzy says "Beautiful".

Alright Laura! Another Malcom Gets admirer! When are they gonna wise up over there and start calling it Richard in the City? ;-) (Chandler is also my favorite "friend"!)

Yep - I love Chandler/Matthew Perry too - I think I identify with his sarcasm ;)

Well, as long as we're drooling over Malcolm Gets, have you seen one of the episodes where he has his shirt off? I thought he was intellectually attractive until I saw a shirtless episode and went YOW!! Who else... David Duchovny The guy who played Grace's boyfriend Ryan on GRACE UNDER FIRE a couple of seasons ago. Scott Bakula George Clooney and so on...

OOH Kaff-wasn't that the episode with Sharon Lawrence? I love Richard-glasses, no glasses-shirtless. I love his sarcasm best. Favorite line: (his retort to the ever cheerful Carloline's What did you do for New Years question)I rode down fifth avenue with Scott and Zelda drinking champagne out of her slipper. Ditto on Duchovny. Although I like Mulder better. I've been disapointed with the quality of the shows this year. Tuned in last week though and was hooked-DD in his leather jacket and black turtleneck, comforting Scully. Don't think I'm crazy but I also find Skinner sexy. I guess its the bald head-great chest!

Oh girls....Malcom Gets sans shirt! What a chestal region! Ooh baby, ooh baby! Favorite sarcastic line: "Oh look. Girl talk and me without a uterus." ;-)

Your right Cheryl it should be Richard in the City. He is beautiful.

David Schwimmer, David Duchovny, Anthony Edwards...

David Duchovny, Mitch Pileggi, Anthony Edwards ditto ditto ditto!

He's not on a current TV show because the imbicile of a producer decided to fire him instead of giving him a raise. Ever since, I have boycotted Law & Order. I only watch the reruns on A&E to watch Chris Noth.

This name keeps coming up -- anyone have pictures?

Chris Noth as his web page (unofficial of course) : http://users.aol.com/dwalheim/noth.html new film for spring : http://198.53.172.4/~corona/films/details/coldaroundtheheart.html

Oups

I'm with you-Lisa. I can't believe they got rid of Cris Noth! I never watch the new episodes of Law and Order. Once again, Thank-you A&E!

David Conrad, plays Leo on Relativity, which is off the air right now but is supposed to return soon. He is very sexy and sweet, and I love the show, can't wait for it to come back. Anyone else watch.

NIce pics-Johanne! He is sooooooo handsome, great hair and sexy voice!

David Conrad, plays Leo on Relativity, which is off the air right now but is supposed to return soon. He is very sexy and sweet, and I love the show, can't wait for it to come back. Anyone else watch.

yes, Suzanne, I watched Relativity when it was on, and liked it very much. I especially like how it is not just about the romantic couple, but about how the relationship affects both families. Hope it ocmes back.

I especially liked the story line about her sister and his room mate I was so excited when they finally kissed.

I am so glad to hear that Relativity is coming back! I have to admit that David Conrad was one of the main reasons I started watching, but now am captivated by the story lines as well. The guy who plays Isabelle's Old fiancee is pretty cute too, I used to like him in Christy. Anyone else ever watch that show? Since we are on the drool subject I have to add that Dean Cain can wear those blue tights and rescue me anytime!

The ABC web site said that it was coming back but I can't make any promises, that site probably hasn't been updated in ages, but we can hope I suppose. Ya her fiance is pretty gorgeous as well.

I used to like him in Christy. Anyone else ever watch that show? Yes, I used to like it. I loved Tyne Daly's character and the Scottish, was it, guy. Pretty interesting, actually.

Am I truly the only one who finds these guys totally hunkable? I've mentioned Dr. Quinn,

Sorry, I accidentally submitted that before I was ready. What I was trying to say was that I've mentioned this show before and nobody responded. I thought some visuals might get you going. %-P"

Susan, I liked Dr. Quinn when it first started, and yes, I thought Joe Lando very hunky looking. This year, though, I haven't been watching it as much--I found the stories somewhat repetitive after a while. I really like the Indian, Dancing Cloud(?).

Inko, yes, that's Cloud Dancing, and I really like him, too. I didn't watch it at all until this December when I was home for three weeks recuperating from surgery, then I got totally hooked. I just joined their list.

David Conrad is on Rosie O'Donnell this afternoon! Perhaps he will set the record straight on when Relativity is returning.

I watched Rosie on Thursday but No David!!! The paper said he would be on but he wasn't. Needless to say I was very disappointed.

I know he is not really a "TV cutie", but our local PBS station showed Lord of the Dance and Riverdance back to back. I found Michael Flatly to be gorgeous. Great smile, great body and he can DANCE. I went looking for pictures but couldn't find any:-(

I hear you Carolyn! THE MAN can dance. Great personality too. And Those leather pants-he must have spray painted them on!

A follow up on our discussion of David Conrad, "Leo" on Relativity, I read in the paper today that the show will finally be returning. New time slot will be Monday's at 8pm on ABC, starting March 31. I can't wait!!

I know he's not a TV star, but I saw the promo for "The Saint" this weekend - Val Kilmer is as gorgeous as ever. I think he is the only blonde that I am crazy about. Well, maybe its actually that body ;). I didn't see a category for him, but I wanted to mention it anyhow. Can't wait for the movie to open next week!!

The only blond - not even a soft spot for Robert Redford? Looking forward to he movie as well :)

No, I must admit Robert Redford never did it for me. I even watched out of Africa again last night to try to see what I'm missing. I just don't see it. And when I saw "A River Runs Through It", I was amazed at how much Brad Pitt was photographed to look like a young Robert Redford. Wonder if it was done purposely or not? :)

Val Kilmer -- *SIGH* says it all!

New Topic needed, perhaps?

JERRY O'CONNELL !!!! OH MY GOD! Have any of you ever seen SLIDERS? Oh, I'd do anything on earth for JERRY O'Connell! Check out some SLIDERS webpages, or some JERRY O'Connell pages if you want to see the best looking man who ever graced the planet! Become a JODSER! (Jerry O'Connell Droolers Society member)

I take it you are partial to Jerry O'Conneell?

Hi there. Hey, I tried but couldn't start a topic for us Malcolm Gets lovers. My question was/is: what are your ideas for making Caroline in the City a better show? How would you change/develop the characters? Just what is it that makes the show (except the character of Richard) so painfully bad? Any ideas? I'd love to hear about some intelligent writing for that show! It bugs me to watch it, but I'm hooked on Gets!

Helloooooooo????? This is the second time that I've posted in a topic that's been dead for ages. The first was the Malcom Gets topic. THE current tv cutie is Paul Gross. I feel like I'm the only one who knows he's alive. He's in "Due South." CBS cancelled that show TWICE and now it's back again but in syndication. I swear I am in LOVE with him. He is definitely the sexiest guy on television. I love that red uniform he wears with the hat. Every time I see him wearing it my heart goes pitter-patter. Red is such a suggestive color. I guess that is why it looks so great on him. Someone mentioned the guy on Christy. I loved that show and CBS yanks it out! I was sooooo mad when it got cancelled. That guy is so fine! Where is he now? Also I was very vexed when CBS pulled the plug on Northern Exposure. I really liked the actor who played Chris. He has a very sexy voice. Also, Remember WENN was mentioned here before. That is my favorite show in the world. Hugh O'Gorman is cute and so is Kevin O'Rourke. BTW, where's Victor??? They should put him on more often. This is it for now. I hope I'm not just talking to myself!

Now, is this the guy who was Michael Keaton's dad in Family Ties?

NOOOOOOOOO! That's another GROSS!!! I'm talking about Paul Gross. He's young, very young.

Just to annoy you, Alicia, is this the guy from Starsky & Hutch? :-)

No! (I think) I never watched an episode of Starksy & Hutch. Paul Gross was in Ted Maupin's Tales of the City, a CBS movie "20,000 Leagues under the Sea," in a Canadian series called "Chasing Rainbows," and currently plays a mountie in "Due South." He kind of reminds me of Colin Firth but w/o the accent. I knew nobody would know him! He's so obscure but he's amazing looking IMHO. Alicia, almost exasperated.

Hey, now I saw Tales of the City and *recorded it* it I liked it so well. What role was he in that program? It is one of the few tapes that I may actually look at again someday. It was good!

Boo-hoo. Unfortunately I did not see Tales of the City. I just know that Paul Gross is in it. I'm waiting for the re-runs on PBS or maybe I can get tapes of it. I'm literally drooling as I think about him. If you want to see who Paul actually is, watch "Due South" on CBS Sundays at 2pm. That's when it airs in Southern California. You're going to have to check your local listings if you want to see it. He's the mountie in the red uniform. I wish I had a scanner! Alicia, drooling so much that I need a bucket.

They *have* to re-run it, it was superb. Best thing I've seen on PBS ever in the way of a theatrical production.

This may be way off the subject, but I would like to know if anyone has heard of the upcoming tv show called 'Tenant of Wildfield Hall' and pardon me if I mispelled this. Has anyone heard of this book?

I know "Tenant of Wildfell Hall." It's going to be on Masterpiece theatre on October 26. And it's a book by Anne Bronte. I think Rupert Graves is in it. Does this help, Terry?

It helps immensely. I'll be looking forward to this show as I'm certain many of those in this conference will also.

Thanks so much Lorie. I can't wait until I get the TV guide issue! Another TV person that I enjoy watching is David Hyde Pierce in Frasier. He is so adorably funny. I'm eagerly awaiting tomorrow night's MT's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Rupert Graves! BTW, I missed him today. Maurice was on E! tonight but I completely missed it. Cheerio! Alicia

Now that you've seen Tenant, are you happy that they added a bit of sexiness to Huntington? I didn't quite understand where that came from (Gilbert's imagination, no doubt, since Helen probably wouldn't have given him a diary with sexual descriptions of Arthur's prowess!), but I thought they explained his character a bit more, given the short time frame. Anyway, I expect all the RG droolers will have enjoyed it!

I taped Tenant, but I haven't seen it yet. I still have a ton of movies that I taped lined up for my viewing. But I saw a little interview w/ RG regarding the film and he looked mighty fine. I feel so relieved! for 24 hours I couldn't get on-line because something must have been wrong with the modem or something. I thought I was going to die. But anyway, now that I'm here, I'm OKAY. Yesteraday, I saw yet another episode of DUE SOUTH with PAUL GROSS, of course. It was an pretty good episode. The thing that got on my nerves is that he was temporarily paired with this rugged type woman that didn't seem to suit him at all. They had no chemistry. For one thing, she looked old enough to be his mother! He and this other girl on the show (the actress' name is Camilla Scott, don't know the character's name) have wonderful chemistry. The lady is his boss and she is definitely bossy to him. She is attracted to him, but she is in denial. But anyway, Paul Gross... (sigh) Has it ever been documented that a person could die of dehydration due to excessive drooling? NOW, MALCOM GETS (finally) Today's episode of CITC was a repeat. I like this episode. It's pretty funny compared to the other episodes. Another episode that I really like is when Richard adopts Annie's mother as his own and Annie gets jealous. Richard and Annie are always bickering at each other. IMHO, I think MG and Amy Pietz have more chemistry than MG and Lea T. Alicia

(Alicia) IMHO, I think MG and Amy Pietz have more chemistry than MG and Lea T. Oh, definitely. That show is really cast all wrong--LT must be good for something, but she's not leading lady material to me. The episode you mention with Richard calling Annie's mom "Mom" was very good, and made me want to see more of the two of them without Caroline in the middle. Of course, anything to see more of MG! In Chicago, Due South is being shown on Sunday afternoons or something like that -- I imagine in re-runs, tho the show doesn't seem old enough to be doing that. No, I still haven't caught any recent episodes (sorry), just have fuzzy memories of some I saw several years ago. Gosh, I guess if my memories are that fuzzy, the show has been on long enough to be showing reruns in syndication.

I don't think the Due South episodes on Sundays are re-runs. Here in S. California, it airs on Sunday afternoons also. Or maybe I just have it all wrong. Yesterday, I did a search on Paul Gross on Yahoo and I found the official website for Due South. The show seems to be very popular in Canada (after all it is a canadian show!) He's won a Gemini Award for Best Actor. I also found out that he's quite multi-talented. He sings (album just released), he acts, and he is a writer! Also he's an executive producer. He's older than I thought, a lot older than I thought: 38! I wish I was in Chicago. Due South takes place in Chicago and it is close to Canada. But I don't think the show does much taping in Chicago. I think they mostly film in Toronto. sigh, Alicia

I GOT IT! Thank you so much Lorie! Paul Gross looks gorgeous in the article you sent me. I recently ordered a poster of him in his mountie suit. It's coming in a couple of weeks I hope. If only I had a SCANNER.

Alicia: Great! I'm glad you liked the blurb. Now, now, about that age thing--yes, I thought he was younger, too, but since I'm 39, 38 isn't THAT old!:-o Is it?:-( Maybe it's just something about Mounties. I saw some tv show last night (a Hallowe'en episode) with someone I've never thought twice about. But in a Mountie suit woo-woo! It's great to discover new things to love about someone. Let me know if the album is any good.

38 isn't that old. I was just surprised that he was that age because I always imagined he was twentysomething. Heck! I like Peter O'Toole and he's in his seventies I think. About the album: I'm going to Tower Records this weekend to get it. If it's not there I'm ordering it. I've heard him sing before in an episode and he's not bad at all.

How come you people havent been posting on the Rupert Graves board?Come on come on!Come over!

TENANT OF WILDFELL HALL (Lorie)Now that you've seen Tenant, are you happy that they added a bit of sexiness to Huntington? I didn't quite understand where that came from (Gilbert's imagination, no doubt, since Helen probably wouldn't have given him a diary with sexual descriptions of Arthur's prowess!), but I thought they explained his character a bit more, given the short time frame. I finally saw Tenant. Yes, Huntington was definitely sexy. RG was so different from what I saw of him in "A Room with a View." I liked Toby Stephens also. I know I've seen him somewhere else before. I thought the mix-up about Lawrence being the brother/lover was hilarious. Alicia REMEMBER WENN I missed it tonight. I'm so mad. I volunteer for the L.A. Phillharmonic and tonight I was in a hurry to get to the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion that I completely forgot to set the timer. I'll have to wait until Wednesday.

It's on PBS again Wednesday? Really?

Do you mean is Remember WENN on Wednesday again on PBS? or Tenat? Well Tenant was repeated today at 1pm on PBS. Remember WENN is repeated on Wednesday 6pm PST on American Movie Classics. I taped MT's "The Moonstone" tonight. Greg Wise is in it. He was Willoughby in ET's S&S. The funny thing is that Moonstone is on the same time Greg Wise's other movie, "House of Frankenstein 1997" on NBC. Did anybody watch "Cinderella" tonight? I though it was very cute. Alicia p.s. I did a search on WENN on Yahoo! and it has several webpages. I explored a couple and they all seem to be well done. There's even a weekly chat on IRC.

Alicia, I have a Canadian friend who is also gaga over Paul Gross. I also thought Cinderella was great. I liked the way they used diversity in the actors. Tenant was very good. I thought all the actors did well. I didn't like The Moonstone much. It seemed a little disjointed to me, and it was hard for me to get involved with the characters. I liked the inspector the best. Any DQ fans here at all? William Shockley is gorgeous, but Joe Lando ain't too bad neither. ;-)

Hi Susan! Wow, we finally have someone else here. PAUL GROSS (due South) (Susan)I have a Canadian friend who is also gaga over Paul Gross. So far I've never met anyone in flesh who likes Paul Gross. I've only met fellow duesers on the 'net. This sunday's episode was a a little disappointing. The lighting was so dark. I could barely see his face! But he did have his red serge off for a scene and got to see him in a v-neck t-shirt that he wears underneath. So far, in this season, he's been in his civilian clothes in only one episode. DQ I haven't seen DQ for ages. I stopped after it got too popular and the show was evolving so much that I couldn't keep up. I'll have to check it out and see who William Shockley is. The Moonstone So it wasn't that great, eh? I still haven't watched it yet. What's on MT next week? Alicia

Hi! Didn't drop off the planet, just away for a few days having central heating installed in my home (which here in the Midwest is about 1 month too late). Didn't see The Moonstone either, but I read the book years ago and found it very complex. At the time I was a big mystery fan, and that is one of those "firsts" that everyone mentions. So I plowed through it, but didn't enjoy it much. Maybe I was too young, tho. Anyway, I'm going to try to catch the TV version when it's re-shown. Remember WENN was good, though not as good as I'd hoped from the previews. Maybe I'm just getting too critical, but re-working "Casablanca" into WENN terms should have been better. After all, you're working off a wonderful classic. Maybe I'm just not sarcastic enough about the original myself.

Alicia, I haven't seen Due South myself, although the pictures of him are great! William Shockley on DQ is Hank, the barkeep -- a jerk but what a gorgeous jerk! That bod should be patented. I also meant to comment on your comment re Chris-in-the-Morning on Northern Exposure (John Corbett). I am currently watching this in reruns on A&E, and yes, I have always loved him and his silky-soft, philosophic voice. Ah, so many men, so little time! ;-)

(Susan)Ah, so many men, so little time! ;-) I couldn't agree more. Right now I'm trying to divide my time between Paul Gross, Colin Firth, among others. Aaaaah, I'm losing sleep. I'm a walking zombie these days. Too much time in cyberspace and not enought on Earth. Well, I can never get enough of the 'net so it's never too much. I MISSED IT AGAIN!!!!!!!! Someone shoot me and put me out of my misery. I missed WENN. I was looking so forward to watching it. But Lorie, I'm sad to hear that you were disappointed. I was so occupied with the PG poster I got in the mail today that I completely forgot all about it. So you've been without heating? Did you freeze half to death before? I mean after all you live in Chicago! Over here in S. Calif. it's been HOT! 90 degrees in November. I hate it! It feels so unnatural. Alicia

I would not mind if november in POLand is warm. I got cold yesterday.

(Alicia) RE WENN: Someone shoot me and put me out of my misery. I missed WENN. I was looking so forward to watching it. Oh, how sad! But there will be re-runs, the season is short! (Alicia) I was so occupied with the PG poster I got in the mail today that I completely forgot all about it. Well at least you had a good reason for missing it! (Alicia) So you've been without heating? Did you freeze half to death before? I mean after all you live in Chicago! Over here in S. Calif. it's been HOT! 90 degrees in November. I hate it! It feels so unnatural. (karol)I would not mind if november in POLand is warm. Truer words were never spoken, Karol! None of us who live where it's cold would mind warmer weather! Yes, my house was freezing for about a month while we attempted to revive our old furnace (which was the original with our 90-year-old house, converted from coal-burning to gas sometime in the 50's, I think.) A part had rusted out thanks to flooding this summer while we were away on vacation, and they no longer manufacture parts for 90-year-old furnaces!:-O How amazing, right? Anyway, we took our time looking for a new part rather than biting the bullet and buying a new one quickly. Then there were delays for estimates, etc. So finally I am back in a modern U.S. home with central heating. The only bonus is that we also got central air with this unit, so life should be very comfortable whatever the season. Now we just have to figure out how to pay for it!;-( Lorie

You wouldn't like the heat in S. Calif. It's a different kind of heat. It's sticky and smoggy and overall nasty. I don't mind the heat in places like Palm Springs or Phoenix, Az. BUT L.A. heat is the worst. It's oppressing. I'm just wishing for a cool fall breeze or better yet, a nice spring day. Alicia
