Welcome to the inaugural post in my new (likely short-lived) blog series — Ten From My TiVo.  I’ll use the inspiration of shows that my TiVo records for me every week to come up with various top 10 lists.

The first list in the series is the obvious one.  Without further ado, I present to you Ten From My TiVo: Hottest Women.

#10 Julie Bowen (Modern Family)

Sure, she plays a mom of three on Modern Family every week but Julie Bowen is smokin’.  Though Phil often steals the show with the laughs, Julie’s character, Claire, adds her own manic humor to the mix.  Julie Bowen is both hot and funny — double threat!

#9 Alison Brie (Community)

Perhaps one of the most under-utilized actresses on Community, Alison Brie manages to play her honor student character with glee.  If her big puppy dog eyes can melt Jeff Winger every week, then consider me melted.

#8 Parvati Shallow (Survivor)

In her third season as a contestant on Survivor, Parvati has been called a lot of things on the show.  Her victorious run in Fans Vs. Favorites earned her the ultimate title of Survivor’s Black Widow, and she most recently charmed the immunity idol out of Russell Hantz on Heroes Versus Villains.  It’s never been so fun to distrust someone this much.

#7 Erika Christensen (Parenthood)

Though a new show, Parenthood is a show that has it all.  And one of those great things is Erika Christensen.  She is superb as Julia Braverman-Graham, desperately trying to juggle a successful law career with attentive parenting, leading to both laughs and tears.

#6 Jessica Stroup (90210)

Just to be clear, Jessica Stroup is an adult despite playing a high schooler on the new 90210.  Despite being thrown into a show full of hotties, Jessica stands out as the queen of them all.  She’s also a refreshingly good actress, able to play the panic and angst of high school with ease.  Just don’t look into her eyes; you may become hypnotized.

#5 Sofía Vergara (Modern Family)

A true Colombian, Sofia draws you in with her looks and then slays you with her accent.  As the much younger wife of Ed O’Neill, Sofia excels as the awkward stepmother to a couple of kids who are her age.  There’s nothing like an exotic accent to draw you in.

#4 Kaley Cuoco (The Big Bang Theory)

Kaley Cuoco first caught my eye a few years ago in 8 Simple Rules, but now she graces my TiVo every week in The Big Bang Theory as the curiously last-nameless Penny.  Kaley’s genuine demeanor makes her the perfect choice to portray the hot girlfriend of a socially awkward physicist, but it’s her comic timing that keeps you hooked.

#3 Lauren Graham (Parenthood)

Sure I’m a dude, but I was an avid fan of Gilmore Girls.  Lorelai Gilmore was the role of a lifetime for Graham’s effervescent personality, and I was afraid we’d lose her forever after its cancellation.  Imagine my relief when Parenthood snagged her for yet another hot mom role.  I won’t complain — there’s no such thing as too much Lauren Graham.

#2 Stana Katic (Castle)

I came for Nathan Fillion in my usual blind Firefly loyalty, but I stayed on Castle for the adorable but stern Stana Katic.  Keeping up with Nathan Fillion is no easy task, but Stana Katic plays Detective Kate Beckett with a rapier wit that keeps Castle in check.  The facial expressions that she musters in exasperation are some of the best on television.

#1 Yvonne Strahovski (Chuck)

Of course #1 would go to Yvonne Strahovski by default — I do run a website dedicated to her afterall.  Every bit as sweet as she is hot, Yvonne Strahovski wows us every week with her amazing portrayal of Agent Sarah Walker.  Fresh from Australia, Strahovski has quickly made it clear that there’s no one on television hotter than her.

The other day I posted about how I had recently been inundated with the cast of Beverly Hills, 90210.

In an effort to be witty, I lovingly titled the post “WTB Luke Perry.”

Lo and behold, I flipped on my Amanda Bynes show and what did I see?

A guest appearance by Luke Perry as Valerie’s (played by Jennie Garth) high school fling.

They had an extrememly humorous 90210-themed flashback complete with really goofy 90s garb.

And people think God doesn’t listen…

It would seem that I am being haunted by ghosts of TV past.

I’ve recently started working out, and that has led me to seek out good television between the hours of 4 and 5pm.

For the record, good television does not exist during this time.

Still, I have settled on ABC Family to watch a long forgotten show called “What I Like About You.”

It’s really not very good, but Amanda Bynes has a lot of charisma and the show tickles me in that “Saved By the Bell” kind of way, so I watch it.

Aside from Amanda Bynes, “What I Like About You” also stars Jennie Garth from 90210 fame. She’s actually a lot less annoying in adulthood, and kind of cute despite her unnaturally little nose.

To add to Jennie Garth, I watched a show the other day with Jason Priestley in it. He is more annoying in adulthood, and he is not cute despite his perfect nose.

Then last night I was watching Terminator and what to my wondering eyes did appear? Why Brian Austin Green from the future so near.

Turns out little Green is playing the brother of Kyle Reese, John Connor’s father. That makes him John’s uncle in one of the more surprising and entertaining twists of the series.

So what can all this mean? Why are my airwaves being inundated with the actors from Beverly Hills, 90210? Why do I actually like them showing up on my television? Is it a sign of the coming apocalypse?

Only time will tell.

Surprise! No Chuck review here. Check out Strahotski.com for my Chuck reviews from here on out.

Okay, so we all know she’s my favorite part of Chuck.

I talk about about her every week as I relate my review of each episode.

Well, the Technonaut and I have teamed up to start our own fansite about Yvonne Strahovski.

That’s right, no more searching the Internet for sporadic information about Ms. Strahovski.

Now you can find it all in one place at Strahotski.com.

We intended to be the only source for Yvonne Strahovski but there has been some competition crop up in the last few days. It seems there’s no such thing as an original idea.

So, visit Strahotski.com and make it your #1 source for Yvonne Strahovski information.
