Top TV Bad Boys of the 2000s

When it comes to bad boys, television has seen some of the hottest and baddest throughout the years. The 90's brought us Dylan McKay and Dr. Doug Ross, and not to be outdone, the past decade has definitely delivered. These are the top TV bad boys of the 2000s:

Mark Sloan aka McSteamy, "Grey's Anatomy." McSteamy has slept with at least half of the female nurses and doctors at Seattle Grace, and he makes no apologies. Like any bad boy, he has a soft spot and when his libido isn't getting him in trouble, he's incredibly thoughtful and kind.

James "Sawyer" Ford, "Lost." Sawyer is the promiscuous stud of the mysterious Lost island. The smooth-talking, feather-haired con man won over viewers' hearts with his sexy drawl, but it wasn't his love for Juliet that converted him into the perfect reformed bad boy.

Dexter Morgan, "Dexter." There's something uncharacteristic about this bad boy. He's a subdued member of the Miami police department, who is a lovable father, husband and brother. On the surface, he is the perfect man. But he hides a secret that makes him the baddest boy on our list: he's a serial killer.

Spike, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Though "Buffy" was around in the late 90's, Spike didn't become a major love interest until season five. And what a steamy affair that was. Between the ruthless punk attitude and the English accent, there's no escaping this vampire's charm. Edward Cullen could learn a thing or two.

Don Draper, "Mad Men." Making the list as the classiest of the bad boys, Don is a boozing businessman, who makes a habit of mixing business with pleasure. Behind the suit and the hair, he's also hiding the fact that he stole the identity of a man he killed.

Barney Stinson, "How I Met Your Mother." If there's one person that takes a nice suit more seriously than Don Draper, it's Barney Stinson. The sitcom's perpetual bachelor is always looking to bed the women of New York in the most inventive ways possible. He never fails to bed his target and he never fails to make us laugh.

Chuck Bass, "Gossip Girl." This bad boy is wealthy and manipulative kind and can be found in the Upper East side breaking hearts and taking names. He's found his match in the equally bad, Blair Waldorf. The two, who are simultaneously in love and hate, often scheme to ruin each other's lives.

These bad boys kept us glued to our TVs the past few years. And as we speak a whole new batch of naughty TV rule-breakers are getting ready to replace them.
