Joe Flanigan - father of the motherfucking year.
So, okay. Because I - clearly - have no shame at all, I decided that instead of doing a bazillion things I have to do before Sam got here, I would, instead, wait for him while watching yet another UNAIRED PILOT starring Joe "It's a Damn Good Thing I'm This Pretty" Flanigan called "Gramercy Park 111". Let me tell you about it, while I hide behind my hand, shamefaced.
It's about a big rich house in New York City and all its inhabitants. It's got quite the cast of people you've seen ALL OVER THE PLACE (including Urkel, guys - that's right), and it's filled with your usual trite caricature-like characters.
Enter Jack. Jack is married to (fuck I forget her name) and they're both lawyers. He is desperately in love with their newborn baby son, forgetting all about his work in favor of acting like a father, while his wife, who never actually wanted a kid in the first place, really wants to get back to work. She couldn't give two craps about their baby, basically.
There is another family with a baby, and both have just hired new nannies - Maddie (hired by JF and wife) and Bryn (one of the "Sweet Valley High" twins and YOU THINK I'M KIDDING). Maddie is nice. The other one has Evil on her mind. In any case, so, we see all these people playing with babies, right?
And only one person in the entire cast seems to know how to actually handle a baby. Guess who.
You guessed it. Here's the evidence:
(The quality was shit, so the caps kind of suck. I apologize.)
This is Evil Nanny picking up baby, so his head lolls back:

This is Uncaring Wife and Mother finally voluntarily picking up her child. Same problem.

Here, she struggles to hold him right:

Enter the Flan:

He's happy to see his wife attempting being a mother:

Less than thrilled, she quickly hands the baby over to him. Observe the technique:
Step 1: HOLD THEIR NECK:

Step 2: Grab the bottom/legs at the same time:

Step 3: Awwww. Feel free to love them along the way. (Whose ovaries just exploded? Fess up, people.)

Step 4: Hold them snuggly and comfortably. The bottom patting is optional, but is so cute, you may want to give it a try. (He seriously stood there for a whole minute, just smiling a bit and patting the baby's bottom very gently. I nearly died.)

Yep. Only one who actually knew what to do with a baby. Gotta love it.
And he's pretty, too!

Especially when he broods...

In conclusion? Oh, Joe Flanigan. It is SUCH a good thing you're pretty. And, apparently, totally domesticated. Seriously, when he kissed the baby, I just about died. It's pathetic. What is WRONG with me?
Send help. NOWPLZ.

or, in other words, there is not enough capslock to express how much Joe Flanigan + babies makes me melty in the knees and heart and other sensitive regions. For serious.

Oh God. He is SO FUCKING HOT. GOD.

basically, it warms the cockles of my cranky sunday heart to think that there are people in this world who, at one point, got paid to think seriously about the image of Joe Flanigan's hands hold a LITTLE BITTY BABY. Yes.
Dear Joe Flanigan, you are still so pretty! And you seem to have been in an astonishing number of really bad pilots or shows. Which, actually, is not a bad thing - bad tv is actually remarkably useful when I need to sober up late at night, you know? and especially bad tv with PRETTY PEOPLE LIKE YOU. So, you know. Keep on...being pretty.

Oh, Joe Flanigan. How are you so ungodly attractive?
