Most of us look like drowned rats when we get caught in the rain.
However, through the magic of television, these characters manage to look even sexier when they're soaked. Whether they're caught in a rain shower or stepping out of a literal one, it's more than enough to get our pulses racing.
Some of the sexiest and most romantic TV moments occur when the characters are drenched from head to toe. Check out our slideshow and let us know who looks the best sopping wet!

Beckett needed some time alone in the rain before finally realizing her true feelings for Castle. It didn't take much convincing for Castle to help her out of those wet clothes.

8.
Jeremy - Sports Night
When Jeremy shows up to meet his date at a bar in a downpour, he comes prepared with a raincoat and umbrella. There is definitely something sexy about a man who comes prepared, and something even sexier about a man who will chivalrously part with his umbrella for a woman.
