No. 1 TV boyfriend? Jim Halpert from "The Office"

Entertainment Weekly and I are on the outs after they dropped a major spoiler from the fifth and final season from "The Wire" without any warning (one minute I'm chuckling at a pithy statement on John Stamos, the next I'm throwing my copy across the room - it's very traumatic). But I'm willing to let bygones be bygones.

A few weeks ago PopWatch had a poll, asking readers which TV characters readers would want to date with a few rules (no TV show hosts, which sadly disqualifies both Jon Stewart and Conan O'Brien from my list). Now here are the results.

Number one is a an obvious choice - everyone's favorite "Office" crush Jim Halpert - but I'm happy to see that my all-time TV love made the list (Josh Lyman from "The West Wing"). Still there are some oddballs on the list: MacGyver? Jemaine and not Bret from Flight of the Conchords? Really?

Then there are the oversights. There's no George Clooney or Noah Wyle from "ER." And although I'm pleased Linda Cardellini's Lindsay Weir from "Freaks and Geeks" made the cut, where's the love for James Franco's bad boy burnout Daniel Desario?

Thoughts on anyone who's not on the list who should have made the cut?

I say without Winifred Burkle, Laura Petrie, Angela Chase, Lorelai Gilmore or Morticia Addams, that's a pretty suspect list.

My affections for both Jermaine and Bret are equal, so I'd have a hard time choosing between the two. Just call me Mel.

I have the attention span of a 5 year old, so it's possible I missed him as I scanned the list ... but did I see Jack and no Sawyer? Now that is wrong.

No, you're right - there's no Sawyer. I am sensing an anti-bad boy sentiment on this list. So silly.
