I love everything about ABC’s Brothers & Sisters. Actually, that’s a lie. I love everything about ABC’s Brothers & Sisters except for the heinous new bangs they’ve slapped on Emily VanCamp’s moody half-sister Rebecca this season. Every time she takes the screen, I’m so disoriented/distraught that I have to use my DVR "seven-second jumpback button" (the one with the swirly arrow — if you haven’t discovered it, it’s downright miraculous)to get myself back into the action.
Meanwhile, I’d agree with 99 percent of the world (including series creator Tim Kring) that season two of Heroes has been hella jank. That said, there’s been one positive development lost in all the kvetching: Milo Ventimiglia’s shorter haircut. Out are the floppy, emo-boy locks that obscured Peter’s eyes throughout season one. In: a sudden and unfeasible case of sexy.
In fact, I feel so strongly about Peter and Rebecca’s ‘dos, I nominate them respectively as the best and worst new hairstyles of the current TV season. But, by all means, if you think other updated coifs deserve recognition, list ‘em in the comments section below. After all, winning first prize doesn’t mean anything unless there’s a first-runner-up in tears.

How about Pam letting her hair down on The Office? She’s already 30% more unpredictable.
I disagree with you Slezak about Emily’s bangs. I like the look. It’s very 80’s post-perm Goldie Hawn. And I think she pulls it off.
But my fav hair has to be Natalie Zea from Dirty Sexy Money. It’s Kelly Garrett meets Falon Carrington meets FABULOUS!
Worst hair? Chace Crawford from Gossip Girl. Holy Zak Efron! It’s a frosted High School Musical hot mess.
It’s awesome that you say that, Michael, because Emily VanCamp’s bangs in season 2 of Everwood were much-talked-about as well. Every time she displayed them, she seemed to be going through a mental breakdown/drug problem incident.
love love love lily’s new ‘do on how i met your mother.
i wish i was as adorable as she is.
I agree that Emily’s new hair on Brothers and Sisters is not very becoming. Even so, she is still stunning. I absolutely loved her on Everwood.
Now don’t bash me for this; I love “The Office” but…..I liked Jim Halpert’s hair better when it was shorter and combed last season.
OMG – Kathryn Morris from Cold Case – worst cut/style/bangs/weird pieces that hang behind her ears….seriously? My thoughts are – after Ken Paves wreaked hairstyle havoc on the models over at ANTM, he then paid a visit (revenge of some sort maybe?) to Kathryn Morris’s trailer and well..you know the rest!
I really dislike Lily’s new hairdo on How I Met Your Mother…it makes her cheeks look fat…and she is a really beautiful woman. And I agree that the Cold Case girl looks like she just stepped out of a mixmaster.
Can we nominate facial hair?? If so, how about Ryan on the Office – he is smokin! Also love that Xtina on GA is wearing her hair down for a change. Finally, the best hair on TV goes to Liz Lemon and Jack D.
I’m sorry but I really don’t like Vanessa Williams new ‘do on Ugly Betty. It looks horrible.
A hairdo that always bothered me was Jorjo Fox’s character on CSI. The part down the middle, no bangs, hanging flat. She never changed it; at least not while I watched the show.
Pam’s new hairstyle on The Office? So. Much. Better. Very Fancy New Beesly.
What about Hodgins on Bones. They cut the beard and the hair. I don’t know if I like the cleaned up version. It’s not terrible, but I really liked the beard and the poof of hair. Also, does Lynette on Desperate Housewives count. I know she has cancer and they had to get rid of the hair. I think she can pull off the bald look for the most part. I also like Pam’s hair on the office. Fancy New Beesly indeed…
LOVE LOVE LOVE Tyra’s new bob on Friday Night Lights. And as always, I’m having an affair with Kyle Chandler’s uber-expressive shock of awesomeness (also on FNL. It hasn’t changed a bit and that’s just the way I like it.
I love everything about Lily on How I Met Your Mother including her new do. They had flashbacks last week with her old hair and it just showed how much better she looks. I don’t like Dr. Cameron’s new hair on House or Sam’s hair on ER(of course I might be one of the few viewers left to even notice).
Definately Tyra Bank’s new bangs covering her forehead. HATE it. Loved the old hairstyle. At least she looked supermodely
I completely agree with you, Peach, about Chace Crawford. He and Zak Efron… ugliest hair ever..
I’m not crazy about the new look for Hodgins on Bones either. It isn’t terrible, but I think the old, scruffier, ‘do suited the character better.
On Grey’s Anatomy I’m loving George’s new trendy ‘do. I couldn’t stand that mop he walked around with the last 2 seasons. This season he’s actually cute!
daisyi – I totally agree – I miss the Hodgins Helmet of last season. I couldn’t stand the mop on the other dorky squib’s head either but his new military buzz cut doesn’t seem to do much for him either. Hope they let that grow out a little. . .
I’ll agree about Milo’s sexiness but disagree about Emily’s bangs. They look cute to me.
Worst hairstyle: Saleisha from ANTM and her ugly weave
Best: Short-haired blonde girl from Women’s Murder Club
i’m so happy to see lily from himym getting some press here! she seems to change her hair the most!
best- pam on the office
worst- SALEISHA’S monkee bob
During the writer’s strike, enjoy the new Fox reality show: America’s Favorite Celebrity Haircuts.
Thank you so much! I never knew what that swirly arrow button was for!
Yes to the mention about the girl from Cold Case. Even my husband who usually couldn’t care less about things like that has even mentioned how bad her hair is.
Ditto to whoever said they loved Tyra’s (Adrianne Palicki) new short bob. She looks awesome with shorter hair! Emily (VanCamp) should totally try a short haircut like that. She’d look smokin’ as well.
I’d have to give my worst vote to the girl from Cold Case too. I’ve never liked her hair and it seems to just get worse and worse every year.
Mariska Hargitay on SVU cut her hair short again and cut out the blond. I really like it.
Nurse Sam from ER’s new haircut sucks. Willy from Ugly Betty’s new bob looks good on her…………..And I know this isn’t TV related, but Tom Cruise’s new haircut is hideous! It’s like he’s going for a male version of his wife’s or Victoria Beckham’s bob. Just when you thought Tom Cruise couldn’t get any more disgusting.
