    I'm always suprised you like Olbermann.

    I heartily endorse these choices, BTW.

    OK, newb ... you got it wrong. If Erin Andrews or Bonnie Bernstein or Nicole (don't know her last name, the NASCAR reporter) or Jill Arrington didn't exist it wouldn't change my opinion -- that's MY opinion -- that Rachel Nichols is not attractive.
    Is she good at her job? I imagine so because she is still one of their prominent reporters. I don't know because I don't get into the never-ending NFL analysis on ESPN.
    From reviewing the thread, I'm not the lone ranger here.

    Nice try. Not a noob, just no longer posting anonymously. You're still an asshole though.

    Rachel Nichols is not an actress, or a fictional person. She's a real person, someone I respect and actually like. What's your fucking point of saying "You think she's cute? Well I think she's ugly, really ugly" on a thread about fictional television characters. I don't really care if I'm in the minority or not, I actually still consider Rachel to be one of us, regardless of the fact that she's now on television. But even if she'd never been a print reporter, what difference would it make? What if Lugnuts were Rachel Nichols? What if sportschick or ducky or sxysptrwtr were Rachel Nichols? Would it still be cool to say? Rachel is a real person in our business. A professional. She deserves better than that.

    I don't think for a second that Jennifer Aniston is going to come on here and read about the fact that someone thinks she's not that cute anymore and that she has cankles or whateverthefuck. But I do think Rachel Nichols should be able to come on here, and might want to come on here, and read a thread about television crushes without having to read something like that written about her. Would you feel cool saying what you did if Lugnuts was Rachel Nichols (which, btw, she is not)?

    Post whatever you like. I'm not going to tell you that you can't say those things. But you deserve to be called out for being an asshole. Women in our biz have to put up with enough shit without other dudes randomly ripping them on threads that have nothing to do with their looks, their work, or even their profession.

    Wow, I feel like an oddity for my list. Some of these haven't been mentioned yet:

    1. Carol Seaver from Growing Pains
    2. Heather Owens from Mr. Belvedere
    3. Becca Thatcher from Life Goes On
    4. Al Lambert from Step By Step (when she got older)
    5. OK, she probably doesn't count, but a St. Jude's infomercial that aired like once a week for a year had a girl named Angel (pronounced Ahn-hell), who ultimately goes into remission, and she was just so adorable, I thought about writing to her. I kept watching just because of her.

    Good call ... could take all three daughters from that show.

    Which leads me to ... I can't believe I forgot (and don't think she's been mentioned yet) ... Nicole Bradford from My Two Dads.

    Damn it, I forgot her. She was also on The Sopranos as Christopher's chick in Vegas that Tony nailed after Christopher's death.
