Oh, bad boys, what would we do without you? While in real life you're more trouble than you're worth, on screen your sulky swaggering, tough talk and icy eyes almost always belie a tender heart beneath the bravado. And that's where you're best enjoyed -- from a safe distance.

Here's a look at the TV desperados who made our hearts melt, in our countdown of TV's Top 20 Bad Boys. -- By Liane Bonin

Gary Dourdan ... David Hasselhoff ... Michael Landon ... find out where they rank on our list.

Sexy, hotties, beefcake -- call 'em what you will; to us, they're simply the 50 hunkiest men to ever populate primetime TV.

From cowboys and cops to legal eagles and Supermen (we've got two of those), these are the handsome fellas who've made us laugh, cry ... and drool on our remote controls.

But hunkiness is in the eye of the beholder, so peruse our countdown and see if your favorite TV man candy made the list.

Whatever happened to Brenda, Brandon and the rest of the gang?

Gotta hand it to the late Aaron Spelling -- the guy knew what people liked.

And for 10 years, 1990-2000, we liked the Uber-producer's take on teen prime-time drama, 'Beverly Hills 90210.'

You won't find any of the kids at the Peach Pit anymore, but we did dig up an Oscar winner, two 'Dancing With the Stars' alums and .... well, look for yourself.
