Do regular looking people not have sex lives? Also like I said, those that break the mould are the really popular shows anyway. So I think that idea is an obsolete one anyway.
Of COURSE regular-looking people have sex lives. Even uggos like Yours Truly get our share. But you're expecting fantasy (television) to reflect reality (reality), and it doesn't work that way. Television programmes like the ones you're bitching about are aired for one reason and one reason only - to make money. They are manifestly not showcases for brilliant writing and acting, they're money machines. And the reason that pretty people are on them is because most people in RL like looking at pretty people. Not saying it's fair, or right, or even sensible, but it happens to be a brute fact.
If 'sex sells' was an obsolete idea, Steve Buscemi would be getting more roles and bigger paydays than Brad Pitt.
