Slowly Going Bald

Wow dude, I don't think I have ever disagreed with you on something more than this. I'm shocked. Your number 2 is my number 6, your number 6 is my number 1. Dogs and cats, living together. This is mass hysteria. For what it's worth, here's my list:

6. Elizabeth Rohm. Fugly.
5. Annie Parisse. She's ok, but is trumped by the others.
4. Alan de la Garza. Like you, I have no idea who she is, but whatever.
3. Jill Hennessy. Not the best hair, but still yummers.
2. Angie Harmon. If only she weren't married to a New York Giant.
1. Carey Lowell. Looks like a man? You're out of your damn mind.

Way off in your assessment of the ladies.

1. Jill Hennessy

2. Anne Parisse

3. Angie Harmon

4. Carey Lowell

5. Alana de la Garza

6. Elizabeth Rohn

Jill was definitely the sexier of the group with great honey colored eyes! Besisdes, she possessed the best working chesitry with Sam Waterston!

Seth: I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. After our mutual empathy for Col. Tigh and our unshakeable love for Veronica, I'm shocked we could be so different.

Let's admit right up front that Annie Parisse and Alana De La Garza are also-rans. That leaves us with Rohm, Harmon, Lowell, and Hennessy.

I can grant that Hennessy got nummers later in life, since the whole weathered-by-time thing actually works in her favor on "Crossing Jordan." But no damn way is Rohm fugly. Maybe the sudden blast of L.A. sunshine after a bitter New England winter fried your brain, but calling Rohm fugly — AND asserting she's not as hot as Lowell — is crazy talk. She was hot on "Angel," and hot on "L&O." She's also 12 years younger than Lowell, which definitely boosts her score, plus she's hotter over time: When Lowell showed back up on "L&O" a couple years after her departure, she'd slid from handsome to hardened. It's like looking at a mannequin.

And dude, I'll forgive Harmon for the fact that Jason Sehorn looks like a particularly terrible experiment in inbreeding. That's how hot she is; she can marry a retarded-looking Giant, and I still love her. And come on, man, that accent is killer. You gotta give me that.

Angie Harmon is my favorite, too! I do like her accent, but moreover, she's really cool. I'd hang out with her if I were in New York . . . and living in the fictional world of Law and Order.

Elisabeth Röhm is my second favorite, only because I haven't seen as many episodes with Carey Lowell, who also seems like a fun lady. Seth and Dan, neither of them were "mannish" or "fugly." Jeez, y'all have delusionally high standards.

Additionally, Jill Hennessy does look better on Crossing Jordan. However, I'm not convinced that it's simply the "weathered-by-time thing." Although I have neither proof nor corroboration, I think that Jill had some medical assistance.

Although my wife thinks I'm crazy, I completely agree with Seth on this one. Carey Lowell (and her beautiful blue eyes) was the best of the bunch. If anything, Angie Harmon was the most manly. She's great to look at, but when she speaks in that Jodie Foster/Holly Hunter drawl, she sounds like a dude.

Dan, I am so on your side. The infidels must be punished.

Angie Harmon is THE Hot ADA. That drawl and that "kiss my ass" look she gets puts her over the top.

Rohm is hot as hell, even with that ridiculous "I'm a lesbian" send-off they gave her (okay, hearing her say she was gay was kinda hot as well).

Carey Lowell, while not that manlike to me, is fairly negligible.

Jill, while she does look better on Crossing Jordan, has to be given a bit more love, since she was the only confirmed ADA that we know McCoy slept with.

Of course, the real point of all of this is: Jack McCoy is either a lucky bastard, a full-on playa, or both. Unlike his predecessor, he realized those lonely night in the casebooks went by easier with an attractive woman helping him out.

I don't watch the show. In fact, I've kind of hated it when I've seen it. I don't think Rohm can act to save her life. But that's not what's being discussed. I agree Harmon is hot, but I also agree her voice is both good (twangy) and bad (dude-like). But from the photos above, I'd have to say de la garza is the hottest. And Dan, how can you call her an "also-ran" after ranking her #3. Does not compute.

Angie is DEFINATELY the HOTTEST of them all. She has BALLS and sass and I LOVE HER!!!

1. ANGIE
2. CAREY
3. JILL
4. ANNIE
5. THE NEW CHIC
6. ELIZABETH

THE SAD PART IS THAT I KNEW ELIZABETH IN COLLEGE AND SHE IS SO HOT IN RESALI LIFE AND IT DOESN'T SHOW ON SCREEN... ah well...

Riles> Completely agreed on Lowell's eyes and I'm glad someone brought it up before me. How she got sixth on this list is mind-boggling, though it must be said that they're all very attractive women in their own way.

Oh my god. I finally have confirmation for the reason Elizabeth "The Rohmbot" Rohm stayed on L&O all those years. We suspected it was men drooling and it was, indeed, men drooling.

Never has there been worse acting for that long on that kind of established show. Her line readings were astonishingly bad. Her body language was non-existent. Sam Waterston suffered and many of us just stopped watching.

But she's "hot," so she stayed. Oy. Also, veh.

Check out Alana De La Garza
as Marisol Castro on CSI MIami & you can tell how much they have uglied her up to give her some credibility as an ADA. She blows the rest of these chciks away

I absolutely agree with you that Angie was the hottest (and also the most capable) closely followed by Jill.

Should Elizabeth's yawn worthy performance get overlooked just because she looks hot in a business suit? I think not.

Remember the final twist when she got fired? lame line delivery and writing!

It's Elisabeth, not with a "z". I have to agree with a few of the posters; her acting was simply awful. Stilted, flat. Line delivery was non-existent. She is, however, beautiful. Carey Lowell seemed the most realistic and although she is delicately and classically beautiful, she didn't have to work so hard to prove how sexy and alluring she is; i.e., Harmon's growl and Parisse's pout. After awhile, the ADAs looked like runners-up to Miss America...while Sam Waterston's Jack McCoy was allowed to age gracefully and maintain a distiguished grey and weary wisdom. It's the same ol' song, ladies and gentlemen. And I have no idea who De La Garza is either as I haven't watched L&O (one of my favorite shows) since Orbach passed away.

I watch Law & Order for about 5 hours every day and have for several years. I have season boxsets for weekend viewing. I. Love. It.

Anyway, I'd definitely go about this list a bit differently. Angie Harmon would NOT get 1st place because she is the most trannie-lookin one of them all! And her accent is abrasive. And Jill Hennesey would be ranked higher, for sure. Does anyone recall her and her twin sister's cameo in Dead Ringers?? Sexxxxy.

And I've no doubt that Jack McCoy picks assistants based on cuteness. Guess it was a bit of a shock when Rohm's character turned out to be a lesbian!!!

It's one thing to rank these luscious babes in their Joe Banks attire ----- post some shots in their birthday attire and you will get a completely different ranking, I'm sure.

If Carey Lowell looks like a man, George Bush is the greatest President the United States has ever had.

A man my arse...she's GORGEOUS.

Can't disagree with Abbie Carmichael as the hottest—the episode where she growls "No deals for anyone—hang 'em all!" cinches that. Her inability to stand still makes me squirm whenever I see her.

Claire Kincaid is a real-close second. The costumer's tendency to put her in men's jackets a half-size too big for her loses her some points though.

Then there's a big gap.

Annie Parisse beats out Carey Lowell just because she's the better actress. Lowell is more beautiful, but Parisse had to fight with costumers who made her look dumpy and eccentric and writers who killed her off in a real nasty way.

De La Garza is incredibly beautiful, too. Too beautiful to be sexy in any kind of animalistic way. I think she's an android sent from the future.

Elizabeth Rohm is obviously last. She's beautiful and hot. The lesbian twist makes her all the hotter—too bad she couldn't second chair a case with Stephanie March. But her character sucked and the show didn't do much with her or her character, all I can think is that someone didn't like her or she didn't like her job.

Don't forget the most manly ADA of all: Paul Robinette. I'd like to see Angie Harmon or Elisabeth Rohm pull-off that carrier-deck haircut.

Any of you that think that Carey Lowell is too mannish should check out an old movie called Road To Ruin. Yes it's bad but she's wearing tight fitting mini dresses the whole time. She and Elisabeth Rohm compete for the best legs in this groups and the hottest woman. Alana De La Garza is third and the other three are stick figures compared to Lowell, Rohm and De La Garza.
