The 100 Best-Looking Men in Television History

Here in New York City, Channel 11 is celebrating their 60th Anniversary of broadcasting and I thought this would be a good time to coincide this milestone with a listing of what I believe to be the 100 Best-Looking Men in the history of American Television. This list took a few hours to come up with and I'd say it's pretty thorough. I have stars in it that stretch back to the '50s.

I eliminated all reality stars and news reporters, as well as Game Show hosts. The only men on here are actors who appeared for several episodes on a given show. While they may have many listings, I only credited them for the shows I remember them from or that I enjoyed the best.

You may have complaints, suggestions, or praise. I look forward to all of them. If you are not sure what some of these men look like, you can always look them up in IMDB. Oh, and they are in no particular order.
