You know you want it...

Today's Top Ten is brought to you proudly by the letters SMG. That's right, Freaks, our much-missed Buffy is venturing back into the world of television with a CBS pilot slated for next fall. If all goes well, we'll get to watch her play a girl posing as her wealthy sister while on the run from the mob. I'm thinking Marc Blucas for the husband!

Huh. He got better looking.

No?

Have it your way.

So it got me to thinking, who else do we miss? Who do we long to invite into our living rooms once a week all over again?

Well, I'll tell you:

Top Ten People Who Should be on TV

1. Claire Danes

Sure, the lovely Mrs. Dancy has been making a fine go of it on the big screen, but she's mostly an indie darling, and isn't that just a waste? It's time to sink those acting chops into a meaty weekly role. I mean, seriously, the Emmys wouldn't even bother to nominate anyone else. Give her a just-starting career girl with a complicated love life and a crazy family. And for the love of all, get Jared Leto to guest star.

2. Shannen Doherty

Doherty had a brief fling on reality shows with the dating thing and the dancing thing, and put in a stint on the new 90210 as Brenda Walsh, but that's not what we want. It's time to live into the bad girl image and stop trying to cover it up. I want to see her as a rival spy toying with Michael on Burn Notice, or screwing up Julia's marriage on Parenthood. Embrace the bitch, Shannen.


3. Josh Holloway

He hasn't been off for long, but rumors would indicate he's got big-boy dreams of making it as a movie star. Stop it, honey. Stop that. You are hot, you are charming, and you just need one likable cop role and you're set for life. Maybe take over the aborted Rockford Files re-do?

Yep, it was unnecessary!

4. Zach Braff

OK, so Garden State was good. Nothing else you've done has been. Come back home, Zach. You'd have to be careful of the role, you can't play J.D. again, but a new sitcom with humor and heart (which you're really good at!) would fit right in on the CBS Monday night line-up. It can take the place of the terrible, terrible Rules of Engagement.

5. Peter MacNicol

MacNicol has done a few guest spots since Ally McBeal went off the air, but nothing that's up to snuff for this really talented actor. Have him take over for the limp fish playing the boss-type on Dana Delaney's Body of Proof, or make him the new weird-and-possibly-murderous neighbor on Desperate Housewives.

Don't know why I thought of murder...

6. Jason Lee

The Chipmunks? Really, Jason? Give this scene-stealing actor a weekly paycheck so he doesn't have to engage in trash like that! He was great on My Name is Earl, so let's stick with sitcoms, shall we? Something to replace one of the two spots that (fingers crossed!) will be opening up over at NBC on Thursday nights.

7. Jennifer Garner

It's not working, Sydney. You're not a movie star, the movies you've done have been terrible. Valentine's Day? Ghosts of Girlfriends Past? Come on. You know what you should be doing. Call up JJ and help out Eliza Dushku with a cool new kick-ass girl show.

Why is this not on TV right now?

8. Amy Sedaris

30 Rock. Right now.

9. Dennis Haysbert

We want the silky smooth voice of Mr. Haysbert on our TV with great character lines, not just asking me if I'm in good hands with my car insurance. How about stirring up trouble as a Fed on Justified?

Did you know he was in Major League?

10. Jennifer Aniston

We want to like you. We do, you're like our pretty, cool friend who can't get it right. And as a friend, let me tell you: your movies are terrible. Come back to TV. We'll watch. Promise.

What do you think, Freaks? Who did I miss?
