When Kristin, Jen and I started to list the men currently on TV whom we thought were hot and sexy, all of us had one name in common: Rob Lowe. This is why Brothers & Sisters' Senator Robert McCallister is on top of our list!
Rob Lowe is not only known for his boyish good looks but also for having the best male hair in Hollywood (little known fact, Wella conducted a survey in 2003 and Lowe won "Best Male Hair for a Celebrity"). Now 43 years old, this former brat packer started his modeling career at 8! No wonder many ladies think that his good looks are timeless. He just doesn't seem to age and if he does, he gets better with age!
Also adding to his hotness is the fact that he came back from a sex scandal and is now the very model of a modern monogamous husband with a beautiful family and kids. He also has good acting skills and great sense of comic timing. Plus, he almost was deemed "McDreamy" but the role went to another of our TV male candy: Patrick Dempsey.
In 2000, People Magazine included him in its "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" article. His chiseled and absolutely symmetrical face and desirable color blue eyes definitely make him one of the TV male eye candy.

How about James Tupper (Men in Trees) and Christopher Meloni (Law & Order; SVU)?

While I voted for the lovely Alex O'Loughlin, his friend and co-vampire on MOONLIGHT, Josef, played by Jason Dohring, is also a hottie. I like that Zach Levi and Nathan Fillion were mentioned, but the hottiest hot hottie of all time is their mutual co-star (on CHUCK and FIREFLY, respectively) Adam Baldwin (John Casey and Jayne Cobb)!! This man has dazzled since MY BODYGUARD in 1980, and he never looks any older! Oh, then there's the Law and Order partiners, Jesse L. Martin and Jeremy Sisto, SVU's Christopher Meloni, the aforementioned Sayid of LOST, Naveen Andrews, and lifetime achievement award for the orginal Starsky, Paul Michael Glaser. And this is just the tip of my rapidly melting iceberg. Thanks for letting me "blow off some steam"! Whew! P.S. My daughter says Javier Bardem.

I like your list, and it must have been hard to just pick three! I must say I have found my new favorite piece of eye-candy this year in Zachary Levi's "Chuck"
I always like the dorky but still cute guys, and I was always a sucker for Adam Brody.
Good list though!

Aside from Jensen Ackles missing on that list I gotta say great list ladies!!! Certainly brightened up my day :)
@Kristin: I love you for mentioning Luke Perry. God, the crush I had on him.... he should be part of the poll!!!

There's no way that Matthew Fox is sexier than Josh Holloway. Josh Holloway is the sexiest man on TV today!!

Who are you women that you would take a pass on Nathan Fillion? Have you no estrogen?

WHERE IS DEXTER?
Hello? Michael C Hall....dreamy red head man, fantastic actor...Why Matthew Fox (from the we're-so-over-it-series "Lost"), but not Dexter? So confused....
At least you included James Callis from BSG. The banality of evil never looked so fine....

To those asking why Matthew Fox but not Holloway: We had to make a decision. We had listed about 50 guys we thought were deemed "eye candy" worthy (and we came up with other names afterwards) and had to only pick 10. So for sure, we had to remove some that we really thought were cute and hot too!

Wow. Only three picks:
Josh Bernstein (they don't have to be actors, right?)
Michael Rosenbaum (but only as Lex)
JR Bourne (I don't know if he counts, but watching him as Martouf on my SG-1 DVDs always makes a bad day much brighter)
Those who *just* missed the cut:
Michael Vartan (I can't believe he didn't make it)
John Schneider (my first tv crush and still distractingly handsome)
Hugh Laurie (brilliant, brilliant man)
The guy who plays Suresh on Heroes (I just hate that he's sweaty in every scene)

I can't believe you left out the hotness that is Adrian Pasdar.

What, no Carlos Hubba-Hubba Bernard from "24"? Give me a break, women. Kevin McKidd from Journeyman and Rome is no slouch either.

No one can compare with the incredible Alex O'Laughlin. He, with Moonlight, are the hottest thing to tv in years.

I totally agree! There is just no comparison to Alex! And Moonlight is the best thing CBS has done in, well, forever!

Margaret, I'm totally with you on Adrian Pasdar! I've been a huge fan since "Profit," and love that his hotness has not diminished over time. "Heroes" is full of eye candy but he will always be my favorite hottie.

You left off the hottest guy on tv right now, Sendhil Ramamurthy, the dreamy Mohinder on Heroes! Sure, his character is kind of lame, but when he's on screen I can barely focus on what he's saying, he's just so darn beautiful.
Also, no Taye Diggs, Daniel Dae Kim, or Naveen Andrews.

Alex O'Loughlin is my #1 choice for hottest man on TV. First of all, he plays a vampire...what's hotter than that? He is from Australia, and although, he doesn't use his accent on the show, Moonlight, he DOES speak with it in interviews. Sigh... His smile lights up his entire face including his gorgeous eyes. Don't get me started on his bod...it would take up all the space here. Heh.
Trust me everyone, go watch Moonlight on CBS Friday nights and you'll see for yourself. He's stunning.
