While I'd agree that DB Woodside who played Robin Wood is an extremely attractive man......
First Date is on my Worst Episode list. LOL! (I admittedly found Robin Wood's personality (not his looks) to be repulsive. I took an instant dislike to him. It was the actor. I've seen him in other things - he has a mannerism and expression that is too similar to an very abusive and repulsive boss that I had around that time. They looked nothing alike, except for their smile and expression. Both had that same smug, patronizing, know-it-all, I'm all that expression. Actually two actors have that mannerism - the other one was the boss in the UK Version of The Office, which was why I could never watch that series.)
It's obviously a personal thing. And related to the actor - since I haven't liked him in anything else (from 24 to Parenthood...he always comes across as a smug...SOB. I always want to punch him in the mouth - just to wipe that smug expression off his face. Even in the commentary - god, he drove me nuts in the commentary, barely lets anyone get a word in edgewise and is self-congratulatory and flattering.) I think if another actor had played him, such as J August Young, or the guy who played Forrest in S4, I'd have loved him. I just can't stand DB Woodside. Pretty to look at but a repulsive personality. It happens. Sometimes an actor just turns you off so badly...you can't watch a tv show. I had the same reaction to Emily Deschanel who plays Bones in the series Bones.
Unfortunately my dislike of RW and Andrew colored my view of S7. I can't help but wonder if either character wasn't in that season or if anyone else had portrayed them...it might have worked better for me? (shrugs)
