    1. Karen Arnold, The Wonder Years

    Played by: Michelle Thomas

    Why we love her: Why was Steve Urkel so busy chasing after Laura when he could have had Myra, who was not only hot, but completely crazy in love with her "Stevie-kins"?

    Played by: A.J. Langer

    Why we love her: Rayanne is the type of girl who burns hot, bright, and fast. Sure, she had a drinking problem — but overall she was a lovable mess.

    Of course, Jordan Catalano learned firsthand why she earned a place on the sophomore list as “Most Slut Potential."

    4. Darlene Conner, Roseanne

    Played by: Sara Gilbert

    Why we love her: Darlene was the totally cool chick you would get high with while listening to Pearl Jam albums.

    5. Aunt Becky, Full House

    Why we love her: "Have mercy!" Aunt Becky brought some much needed sex appeal to this show.

    6. Fran Fine, The Nanny

    Why we love her: She was the hottest cop since Stacy Sheridan on T. J. Hooker.

    9. Hilary Banks, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

    10. Clare Arnold, Beverly Hills, 90210

    Via i2.listal.com

    Played by: Kathleen Robertson
