And Just Mike That...


'I just refuse to believe that anybody can screw up macaroni and cheese.'
Mike Delfino


I wasn't a huge fan of Desperate Housewives.  I certainly watched, and enjoyed the first few seasons, but by about season 4, my interest really waned.  I certainly thought Jesse Metcalfe was hot in the first season, but soon thought the actor was a bit of a douche.   I mostly watched for the women, especially Nicolette Sheridan, who I crushed after and enjoyed watching.


By the time Sheridan's character Edie was killed off, I was only watching occasionally, and half watching when the television was on.  I think Susan was my least favorite housewife.  I didn't dislike the character, or Teri Hatcher, I just found the others around her more interesting.  I also didn't find Mike that riveting, nor was I drawn to actor James Denton.


Denton seemed a bit of a 'generic' hunk, sure he looked great with his shirt off, but he didn't exactly blow up the screen with his thespian prowess.  I also thought he was one of those men, who maybe appealed more to women than to other men. Then, last week, I saw an image of the cast, (just below) posted on Twitter.  I'm not sure if it was my mood, or if I was especially horny, but just Mike that, I was on the Denton bandwagon.

I'm not sure what it was, might have been that there was one hot man with five beautiful women.  I don't think it was his feet, I'm not usually drawn to feet, but it may have been the ripped jeans or how Denton's arms looked in his tank top.  All I know is that all of a sudden, I found Denton incredibly hot, and was on the hunt for shirtless shots or any on-screen nudity.

Undead or Alive (2007)

'Elmer Winslow is a soldier on the run from the Union Army, and Luke Budd is a cowboy with a broken heart. When the two misfits rob the corrupt sheriff of an old west town, they have no idea that a plague of zombies is sweeping the country, or that Geronimo's sexy niece may be their only hope of survival.'


Although there were plenty of shirtless shots, mostly from Desperate Housewives, Denton's only on-screen nudity appeared the brief bit of butt crack from 2007's Dead or Alive.  I'd seen the scene before, but paid it little attention.  Having Chris Kattan as his scene partner didn't really help to increase my interest.  I've discovered it's been sort of a theme on FH, with my changing my mind about men I wasn't really that attracted to when I was younger.  It's been interesting to see actors now that turn me on, who I once barely any attention to.  Maybe one day I'll compile a list.
