It doesn’t seem that long ago that the CBS was the senior citizen network. Taking a gander at today’s CBS made me notice a wider variety of shows (well, those that aren’t CSI spin-offs) and a healthy supply of beautiful leading and supporting actresses. Today we’ll count down ten of the lovely ladies of CBS .
Just a few facts about the list itself before we get started. All the ladies below are starring in shows currently airing on CBS. To whittle down the list, and for some diversity, I also chose no more than one woman from a particular show. And I chose only actresses; you won’t find “reality”-TV or gameshow contestants on the list. Honorable mentions who didn’t make the list include Alyson Hannigan, Poppy Montgomery, Rachel Boston and Elizabeth Reaser. Now on with the show!
