We have hand-selected 100 women from the last 40 years of television and put them into ten categories, based on personality type, career, intelligence (or lack thereof) and even marital status. We’ll unveil a new list each month, and you, gentle reader, will tell us which ones you would most like to have as your girlfriend. Once we’ve whittled the list down to one girlfriend from each category, we’ll pit them against each other and get the hell out of the way.

We only had one rule in assembling this list: each actress could only be listed once. No one took this news worse than Heather Locklear, who has done enough TV work to merit her own category, but cheer up, Heather: you made the cut, in a very winnable category, no less.

Check it out and make cast your vote over the next couple months!
