When I was a kid (and I am dating myself here, but it's a risk I'm willing to take for Wicked's readers), there were two aspects of fall that delighted me. One of them was the new wardrobe my parents would purchase in a hopeful attempt to get me excited for the new school year (spoiler alert: didn't work). The other was the fall preview issue of TV Guide! Fall TV is still a (sad) thrill for me as an adult, mostly because it's a whole new crop of hot guys to admire, as well as returning ones. Here are some new (as well as some familiar) TV faces (and bodies) with which to enjoy your first pumpkin spice latte of the fall.
Taylor Lautner
Scream Queens
FOX
Remember Taylor Lautner? A couple of years back, the poor lad was usually busy wiping the global drool off his hot body due to his shirtless appearances in the Twilight flicks.
He's been sort of eclipsed by guys like Nick Jonas (way at the top and hopefully no one one notices that I used his pic even though he's mid-Season 2 of his series Kingdom so he's not showing up anywhere on TV this fall except for our fap fantasies) when it comes to body worship and star power. That could change this fall when he shows up as a hunky doctor on Ryan Murphy's horror-comedy Scream Queens. Hey, it beats being relegated to Adam Sandler movies on Netflix.
Ryan Eggold
The Blacklist: Redemption
NBC
They gave Ryan Eggold's "Tom Keen" character from The Blacklist his own show. That's so his beauty will stop upstaging James Spader. And Ryan must be pretty because it's really hard to upstage James Spader cuz' that guy's aces.
Philip Winchester
Chicago Justice
NBC
Hot piece of ass (sorry, I calls em' as I sees em') Philip Winchester is heading up the FOURTH series in NBC's Chicago dynasty. They had fire, then they got cops and doctors. Now they've got lawyers. That's a lot of the Windy City. Luckily Phil's hot and they have deep dish pizza and Sidetrack.
Hi, Apollo Creed!
Oliver Jackson-Cohen
Emerald City
NBC
My inside sources (Google) tell me that Oliver here is playing The Scarecrow-character in NBC's "edgy" reboot of the Wizard of Oz. I don't see a lot of straw. I also don't know if he's lacking a brain, either, but I'm strangely not caring. This show is probably going to be terrible, so I hope he takes his shirt off a lot.
Alfonso Herrera
The Exorcist
FOX
Speaking of shows that are trying to murder classic movies. Herrera played 1/2 of the adorable gay couple of Netflix's Sense8, a show that made little to no sense but somehow I still enjoyed. I don't see myself enjoying horror classic The Exorcist diluted down for TV. They can't do anything truly frightening like they did in the landmark original. How would they ever top FOX News in that category?
Lucas Till
and
George Eads
MacGyver
CBS
Remember the original MacGyver? He was the dude who used the contents of your kitchen's junk drawer to fight crime. Because we can't think of anything original, here's the reboot. It stars Lucas Till(one of the movie X-Men) and George Eads (the hot guy from the original CSI). If he can still fight terrorists with chewing gum and paper clips, I might actually watch this one.
Josh Sasse
No Tomorrow
CW
Josh Sasse plays a guy who lives his life like there's [insert title here]. I hope he also lives his life like there's no shirts.
Daniel Sunjata
Notorious
ABC
Daniel Sunjata is ssseexxx. In this drama, he plays a lawyer based on famed criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos. Sunjata seems to be on every TV show and in every movie out there. If this one doesn't stick, I hope his next show is about a former Olympic swimmer who breaks out his Speedo again to make a comeback. Tom Daly will guest-star. In his own Speedo. It could be any sport that involves a minimum of clothing, really.
Wentworth Miller
and
Dominic Purcell
Prison Break
FOX
Wait, didn't they already escape prison? As much as I like these two as the bromantic super-villains on DC's Legends of Tomorrow over on the CW, I'm not sure they needed to reprise their roles as brothers who need to break out of prison. Again. Just stop going to prison, right?
Augustus Prew
Pure Genius
CBS
Newcomer Augustus Prew plays a Silicon Valley genius who opens a techno-hospital. We really need a new place for TV people to congregate. We've had enough hospitals, law firms, police stations, and superhero headquarters. What about a dairy farm? Or a nunnery? Wait, a nunnery wouldn't have hot dudes. Scratch that.
