In honor of the recent Lycos 50 list of the top fall TV searches, I was thinking about my lifetime of love affairs with different TV characters. Sure, we all may find some TV actors attractive in different ways, but there is something special about a real TV Boyfriend. TV Boyfriends are those (fictional) guys that a girl just wants to hug and bake for. Here are mine ...
Dylan McKay, "Beverly Hills 90210" - So brooding and always so, so cool.
Fox Mulder, "The X-Files" - Is there anyone as dreamy as Agent Mulder with his quest for the truth and wide-eyed belief in all things paranormal?
Angel, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel" - This character really came into his own on "Angel," where his goofy side was more often seen.
Ryan Atwood, "The O.C." - Most girls seem to prefer Seth, but I liked the kid from Chino.
Pacey Witter, "Dawson's Creek" - How could anyone choose square-headed Dawson over cute, quick-witted Pacey?
Jim Halpert, "The Office" - From his organizing an Office Olympics to his longing looks at Pam, Jim is everyone's favorite office crush.
Logan Echolls, "Veronica Mars" - Sure, he organized bum fights (never a good thing), but he just seemed so damaged.
Michael Bluth, "Arrested Development" - The lone voice of sanity in the Bluth clan, Michael was smart and responsible and had really nice hair.
Jack Bauer, "24" - OK, maybe a little emotionally unavailable what with the dead wife and super secretive CTU job, but still seems like a good guy to have around.
Captain Mal Reynolds, "Firefly" - Another great anti-hero, Mal was both rakishly handsome and occasionally quite funny.
Who are your TV boyfriends and girlfriends? Everyone has a few (or clearly 10, if you are me).
