TV's Hottest Cowboys
In honor of last night's awesome western-themed paintball Community last night, in which the generous TV gods saw fit to give us not only guest star Josh Holloway alongside resident hottie Joel McHale, but to put them in cowboy hats, I've decided to pay homage to the manly-men of the western genre. Hang onto your horses.
10. Heath Barkley (Lee Majors), The Big Valley
Steve Austin cut his bad-ass chops fighting his way into the Barkely family as illegitimate son Heath, and looked good doing it. That look is worth millions. Like, 6, maybe?
 |
| Is he weraing eyeliner? |
9. Daniel Simon (John Schneider), Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman
Some people will argue that he wasn't as hot as Sully. Some people will argue that he looked better in the hat as a Duke. Those people are wrong.
 |
| Evil Google, no pic in the hat. What is the world coming to? |
8. Adam Cartwright (Pernell Roberts), Bonanza
From what I remember of this show from watching it with my grandfather as a child, Joe was the one who had all the ladies' attention, but I'd vote for smart and sweet Adam any day. He built the Ponderosa! (Or something like that...)
 |
| Plus, he can pull off Nantucket Red. |
7. Briscoe (Bruce Campbell), The Adventures of Briscoe County Jr.
Bruce Campbell was at his snarky best in this short-lived cult classic. His 5-o'clock shadow was doing its best work as well.
 |
| Even the facial hair looks quip-ready. |
6. Rowdy Yates (Clint Eastwood), Rawhide
Hey, Clint Eastwood, what are you doing on TV? Oh, I see. Looking good.
5. Cole Turner (Julian McMahon), Charmed
Yep, this is cheating. "This is just blatantly a lie, he was only a cowboy for one western-themed episode, and that surely doesn't count," you say. I say get your own blog and you can make up your own rules. Plus, now I get to show you this:
 |
| You're welcome. |
4. Captain Malcom Reynold (Nathan Fillion), Firefly
Look, she's cheating again! Whatever. He's a space cowboy. And a charmingly adorable one.
 |
| Aw, he's so cute when he's mad! |
3. Bret Maverick (James Garner), Maverick
Speaking of charming...
 |
| It takes a lot of manliness to overpower those ruffles. |
2. James T. West (Robert Conrad), The Wild Wild West
Sure, maybe this show has now been taken over by the steampunk freaks and was a terribly remade movie starring Will Smith. But we will forgive you for all of that, Mr. West, because...
 |
| Because you can pull of chest hair. |
1. Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant), Justified
He's a soulful, tortured badass. Just like the ladies like 'em.
 |
| Also hot. The ladies like 'em hot. |
You picked the right Cartwright. Ponderosa's decline began when Adam left the show. Eldest son always the one who holds it all together. Or eldest daughter, in some cases.
