Shane and Lover Cindi come in at number nine on the hottest televised nude scenes of the year

What did we tell you about December and lists? People can't help themselves! There are a lot of inane bullet points to read around the internet right now, but yesterday, Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch made an end-of-the-year list I can get behind. Well, not get behind, exactly — more like a list I can support: TV's 10 best nude scenes of 2008.

The only lesbian characters on the list were Shane and Lover Cindi (Kate Moennig and Alicia Leigh Willis) from Season 5 of The L Word.

You remember this, don't you? The nakedness heard 'round the world. The scene in which not only Dawn Denbo's honor was maligned, but also that of her Lover Cindi's.

Willis and Moennig came it at number nine.

Lizzy Caplan and Anna Paquin from HBO's True Blood captured the first and third places on the list. (You go, Janis Ian.)

Number three went to our favorite ganga-peddler, Mary-Louise Parker.

Here's the full list:

1. Lizzy Caplan — True Blood (HBO)
2. Mary-Louise Parker — Weeds (Showtime)
3. Anna Paquin — True Blood (HBO)
4. Arlene Tur — Crash (Starz)
5. Jenaveve Jolie — Entourage (HBO)
6. Caprice Benedetti — Brotherhood (Showtime)
7. Hayley Marie Norman — Crash (Starz)
8. Cerina Vincent — Manchild (Showtime)
9. Alicia Leigh Willis, Katherine Moennig — The L Word (Showtime)
10. Carla Gallo — Californication (Showtime)

Entertainment Weekly asked, "How come it's all ladies?"

Silly question. Here's a better one: Who else should have made the cut?

    #1

    im wondering which anna paquin scene they took. im not a huge fan, and the whole scene in the graveyard when bill crawls out of the dirt naked and then bangs her was... insane. and not necc in a good way.  

    im going to have to agree wholeheartedly with the lizzy caplan pick, though. seriously. so the whole V hallucination / swimming through fields of daisies while some old chained up vamp is forced to watch = totally strange. BUT good lord is she smokin' hot.

    Shane and Cindi not that hot

    I didn't think that was the hottest scene they could have come up with from the L Word, I really didn't find that scene very hot because the character of Cindi annoyed the hell out of me.  And for that matter, so is Shane..her shenanigans have gotten so old for me and the way she screws up everytime she's got something good going for her.  Most of Shane's love scenes this season just made me sad thinking about how she screwed up with Carmen, then the next woman (can't remember her name, her kid bonded with Shane's younger brother), and now looks like she's screwing up another cute relationship with Cybill Shepard's daughter... Honestly Shane is annoying me since the Carmen debacle and every time I get hope that her character will develop more and go through some changes, they knock her right back to the same place.

    So for me, many of Shane's sex scenes are not that hot anymore, most of the time I find myself rolling my eyes with my friends as we watch, because the scenes now just feel gratutitous and expected because that is Shane's usual shtick...  I feel like Shane's character has been so poorly developed and like she has no game, she'll just sleep with anyone who shows some interest, doesn't she have any standards at all? LOL.  People just use her all the time.  So to me its kind of depressing...The character for me has just stopped growing and become so stagnant.  anyway that's just my little rant. 

     But I am happy that they had the L Word on that list :-)  That's good at least...

    agreed

    ... there have been more than a couple that have been totally cringeworthy - especially post-Carmen. shane basically dove headfirst (literally) into the "f- to forget" mindset. it wasnt until Molly, id say, that she calmed down. as much as i love watching hot chicks get it on, im a sucker for romance, and the rough, empty stuff is SO not fun to watch.

    actually that list was made by Mr. Skin

    You can find the list if you check the Mr. Skin blog (Nov 28)  

    Note.  Mr. Skin is an adult site.  Don't go there if you're under 18 and don't go there if you find naked women objectionable.  And I think you have to pay to see any nakedness

    here's the write up for the scene

    Buxom blonde ultra-femme Alicia Leigh Willis went from General Hospital to the lesbian hospitality of sexy butch Katherine Moennig on that long-standing wellspring of all things Sapphic and fantastic, The L Word. Don’t miss another L Word episode where this combustive couple adds Elizabeth Keener for a threeway!

    Yep, Shane & Lover Cindi WERE hot

    I love Mr. Skin's blog. Here's another good one. Bad Bad Girl.  Lots of yummy stories and pictures there.  http://bbgblog.com/

    Kate and Mr.Skin

    well, Mr. Skin has a thing for Kate ;) and i don't blame him!

    First there was: Mr. Skin's Boob Tube 2007:  Mr. Skin's Pick: Kristanna Loken and Katherine Moennig get down to business—specifically one another's business. Loken goes from T3 to 2B's as she and Moennig bump fuzzies in a nice long scene. Is there anything prettier in this world than two girls going to town on each other? Alright, fine, maybe three girls going to town on each other." And then Kate again in:  9th Annual Anatomy Awards (2008)(Best Lesbo Scene: Katherine Moennig and Kristanna Loken in The L Word) Now this! :D

    I dont have Showtime, nor

    I dont have Showtime, nor did I watch the Starz shows so the only ones I know were True Blood. And, I disagree. I Think Anna Paquin should have been #1. Her first nude scene when her and Bill have sex. Holy Hell, that was HOT. After I saw that I told my friend, "Dude, I just saw Rogues boobs! And they rock." Come on, Paquins a hottie.

    Happy to see the L word make it

    I don't think that was the hottest sex scene that season...but Katherine Moennig can make just about any sex scene work, so I am glad that one of hers made it. I didn't see the scene with Lizzy Chaplan, but I believe it.

    i dunno

    Mmm, there were hottest sex scenes, but it makes super happy to see a lesbian sex scene in that list. Its great.

    Anabella!

    So...title?

    Not as if I have any sort of intent to hunt down this episode or anything but...what is the title of this episode they mention on the list? >.>

    Are the other scenes not sex?

    Why is the only one with 2 ppl involved the lesbian one?  It's also the only one I've seen, not getting expensive cable.   Seems like most sex scenes involve 2 ppl - were the others just random naked scenes with no sex?  Or was the guy not naked?

    Eh, I don't think that was the sexiest L word scene even.

    Was the Alice-Tasha scene where they end up on the hall floor of Alice's apartment this year, or last year?  Cuz that is probably the hottest one ever in the L word, but it might have been in 2007...

    Oh Lizzy Caplan

    I am so glad Lizzy Caplan at the top of this list... because she is so hot. and her sex scenes, while a little creepy since she's kinda crazy and all, are totally worthwhile in True Blood. 

    I don't really think Shane and Lover Cindi had the hottest scenes as far as this season is concerned, but still it's pretty cool that they made the list.

    Oh...and by the way...

    In regards to Mary-Louise Parker--it's GANJA-peddler, not ganga. Ganga-peddler sounds like she doing her part to spread a nasty STD!

    shane and carmen's love

    shane and carmen's love scene at the end of season 2 was it for me. sorry, no other love scene can beat that for me, except maybe tasha and alice's first love scene. i think entertainment weekly was a little slow on the uptake missing out on the hotness that was shane and carmen, because if they were going to pick any couple from the l word to highlight for their sexiness it should've been them. i'm still waiting for closure on that relationship. well i guess i'm glad they recognized some lesbians for once.
