Well folks, the end of the year is quickly approaching which means it’s time for all of those lovely year end lists people love so much. Instead of focusing solely on the best in television, music and movies from 2011, I’ve decided to pay a little special attention to all of the eye candy each genre has offered up. As regular readers know, I run a little feature here on World of Female called Man Candy Mondays, but in this series, I’m not going to stick to the boys because the ladies need a little love to. In this inaugural post, I’ll be focusing on the sexiest men on television this year. Next Sunday, we’ll talk about the sexiest women in television and so on and so forth from there. Please note – all lists are in alphabetical order because there’s not even the slightest chance I’m going to rank based on hotness. Hope you enjoy this brand new feature. Let’s get started with the Sexiest Men on Television 2011!
