Intelligent Life On Planet Rock
One at a time, ladies
Posted by David Hepworth on 11 December 2008 - 9:21pm.
One of the issues we've been talking about on the podcast is how to make a choice from the wide selection of fantasy girlfriends provided by box set television.
I have a particular dilemma, having developed crushes on both Mary-Louise Parker, the pot-growing soccer Mom of "Weeds"...
...and also Tina Fey, the wisecracking, screwball belle of "30Rock".
Whose fanclub shall I join?

Suit yourself
but my heart belongs to Buffy.
and i'd have seconded you
until Willow started becoming terribly nice. A season of 'how i met your mother' confirms that la Hannigan is certainly somebody i'd happily take home to meet the folks...
Sorry mate, she's taken
If, like me, you like redheads, how about the daughter in Six Feet Under? Or, if you prefer them more mature, Bree Vanderkamp
I've been stalking Tina Fey for sometime
So I'd suggest you pick the other one.
mary-louise
she was hot in the west wing but then there's CJ and Donna and and....
and and...
Dr Bartlett. Oooh yeh.
M-L P
Yes, hot in the West Wing, but she does this thing where she doesn't open her mouth when she speaks, as if she is practising to work with Lord Charles, or Lenny the Lion.
Offputting.
no the mumblings hot
it occasions the odd lip bite sorry I'll stop now.
what about Parker Posey?
Sigh!
Parker Posey
she looks like
she needs some food inside her
It's all over
I saw this pretty young lady on the Glasgow Underground the other day -she was wearing a very short skirt.
The first thing that sprung to mind was - "She'll catch her death!"
It's all over, I can tell you.
i'm considering a peurile comment
involving the word 'meat' but I think i'll leave it there...
I think that's a very old picture
She was 40 last month.
careful David
you'll have Selina Scott and Joan Bakewell on your back....
Dirty Sod
I just don't understand how you can bang on about them above yet neglect N.C.I.S. time after time.
The delightful Sasha Alexander played Kate and she got shot at the end of Season 2. Deaded. The first 2 episodes of season 3 was all about how her colleagues saw her as she re-appeared to them before her funeral. Funny and sad. This video is a short compilation with music provided by Sarah McLachlan.
Come On !
Only another 120 lecherous posts to rightfully knock that tosh off top Blog spot.You know it makes sense.
I've always lived by the maxim...
... "If you can't be good in bed, at least be funny," so I'll go for Tina Fey, thus taking the pressure off me in that department too.
My "if wet" choice would be the gorgeous Mel (Raquel Cassidy), Jack Dee's character's wife in the underrated "Lead Balloon."
I thought we were only
talking about American heart throbs but if were widening the net to the Uk Raquel Cassidy brightens the screen every time she's on , she was the best thing about teachers too.
Chucked her the other week
in favour of Claire Skinner off Outnumbered.
She took it well and we’re still good friends.
They call me the wanderer.
I hate the expression "LOL" out of all proportion...
... yet on a cold, dull, hungover Friday morning, for "They call me the wanderer", you sir, get an "LOL."
Since nobody's done it yet
I hereby claim Hayden Pananananantierre (or however you spell it) from Heroes :-)
Oh topical
She also sings as well. Well if you can count singing twee songs on assorted Radio Disney CDs. It's a start. She'll have a CD of Leonard Cohen covers before you know it.
This time next year
we'll *all* have a CD of Leonard Cohen covers out.
Isn't she
about 12?
One of us , one of them
UK - Raquel Cassidy without a doubt.
US - Lisa Edeilstein aka Dr Lisa Cuddy from House.
Long suffering strong women, childish, petulant men, I see a pattern emerging.
Ooo, Cuddy!
I never know quite where to look when she's onscreen, there's almost too much gorgeousness to take in. Dr Alice Roberts from Coast runs her a close second; it's her voice as much as her pulchritude. And this from a bloke who gets white coat hypertension just looking at a doctors' surgery.
Megyn Price
Of American sitcoms Grounded For Life and Rules Of Engagement.
Highly recommended.
Katherine Parkinson...
... The IT Crowd. She lovely (sigh...)
It has to be CJ
or Miranda Raison from Spooks. Though Keeley Hawes would also be in with a shout
those 2 are ok for boys
but Hermione Norris as Ros now your talking.....
Ladies
Mary McCormack (Kate Harper) in The West Wing
Jenna Fisher (Pam Beesley) in The Office (US)
and
Jamie-Lynn Sigler (Meadow Soprano) in The Sopranos
What do you mean I can only pick one?!
How about Juliet from Lost?
Elizabeth Mitchell's the name. Classy and lethal. Excellent.
It has been a difficult choice
but at the risk of upsetting Diane Keaton, it is Valerie Harper as Rhoda Morgenstern who is the lucky recipient of my hot loving...
Jill
For 23 years I have carried a torch for Jill Swinburne (Barbara Flynn) in The Beiderbecke Affair.
Gentleman , please
All this talk is unseemly...Oh go on then, Mary Louise Parker, Kirsten Dunst, Diane Kruger, and that lovely lass from Life on Mars.
Oh, why not!
Closer to home
It has to be the Word's very own Kate Mossman. Can you hook me up please Mr Hepworth?
OMG!!!!!
OMG!!!!!
You've finally turned into a lads mag.
I refuse to apologise
Since when has appreciating the beauty of actresses *not* being a key part of the entertainment experience? And if any woman wants to do the same with actors, be my guest.
Well, since you ask...
there's a clue in my username.
So that'll be, Jennifer Beals in "The L Word", Marlee Matlin in "The West Wing" and Rachel Griffiths in "Brothers and Sisters" (too crazy in "Six feet Under").
It gets interesting when your fantasy girlfriends end up together.

Although I'm not averse to watching Gorgeous George (Clooney) and John Barrowman spreading his favours widely as Captain Jack.
Grrrr.
Well, it's always been Sandra Bullock for me.
But, one has to have an age related back up plan, which goes.
Marcia Cross;
Julia Stiles;
Michelle Trachtenberg.
Best to be prepared. An heir and a spare.
