Which network had the best-looking women at one point?

[Big C]

Can you ever recall a period of time when a network was stacked with so many beautiful women?

I nominate the WB Network. At one point in time, this network had Nikki Cox, Alyssa Milano, Jessica Biel AND Shannen Doherty at the same time.

Are you kidding? In 1976, ABC had Lynda Carter, Jaclyn Smith,
Farrah Fawcett, and Kate Jackson. Who can forget the network that gave us Wonder Woman and Charlie's Angels?

CBS circa 1965 had the following:

Mary Tyler Moore (The Dick Van Dyke Show)
Pat Priest (The Munsters)
Donna Douglas (The Beverly Hillbillies)
Tina Louise and Dawn Wells (Gilligan's Island)
Lori Saunders, Gunilla Hutton, and Linda Henning (Petticoat Junction)
Amanda Blake (Gunsmoke)
Pamela Britton (My Favorite Martian)
Marta Kristen, June Lockhart, and Angela Cartwright (Lost in Space)

As well as Meredith MacRae, whose work on My Three Sons was ending before she joined Petticoat Junction.

In 1983-1984 NBC had the best looking women with both Lisa Whelchel and Jami Gertz both on The Facts of Life at the same time.

ABC in the '60s and early 70s. Largely because of Liz Montgomery, Marlo Thomas, Maureen McCormick and Susan Dey.

I'll add from ABC Eve Plumb, who was very hot in the last season of The Brady Bunch. And also on ABC were June Blair, Connie Harper, and Kris Nelson on The Advs. of Ozzie and Harriet.

[AMackII]

NBC & CBS during the 80s because of these women who were regulars on daytime game shows by the following...

- Lee Menning(who replaced Sally Julian on Sale of the Century in March 1983)
- Summer Bartholomew(who replaced Lee Menning on SotC in December 1984)
- Janice Pennington, Dian Parkinson & Holly Hallstrom(The Price is Right beauty trio from 1977[when Holly joined the show] to 1990[when Kathleen Bradley arrived])
- Marjorie Goodson(Classic Concentration's 2nd model after Diana Taylor left in July 1987)
- Suzanna Williams & Lacey Pemberton(1980s version of Card Sharks)

...and Three's Company with Suzanne Somers, Joyce DeWitt, and Jenilee Harrison. Laverne & Shirley weren't bad either. There were also Ted Knight's daughters on Too Close For Comfort and Dick Van Patten's girls on Eight Is Enough. This is why ABC's shows were referred to as "Jiggle TV" in the 1970s. All of these women had plenty to jiggle and the male viewers loved it!

ABC had the Heather's, Thomas and Locklear, as well.
