Who are the best TV boyfriends?

I’m not saying your main man isn’t good enough, but he’s probably an actual person with a human nature, and probably not perfect like these folks. The best TV boyfriends have the benefit of a room full of writers, personal trainers, and makeup artists trained in cheekbones and ab definition.

That being said, we can still appreciate a solid TV boyfriend when we see one. As they say, there’s a pot for every lid and all these hunks on this list all bring something unique to the table, including their abs and cheekbones. There are doctors, superheroes, special agents, and scientists.  This is a pretty comprehensive list. Whether you like them clean-cut, a little on the naughty side, or a little more eager to please, there’s a TV boyfriend for everybody on this list.

It’s an exercise in fantasy and wish fulfillment, and we’re happy to provide a little escape from your current situation, whatever that might be. After all, you’ll never have to pick up any of these boyfriends’ socks off the floor or listen to them talk about fantasy football.

These are 25 of the best TV boyfriends that will make you swoon with their charm, good looks, and many, many talents that include being shirtless.
