**blondebear** , I had a straightgirlcrush on Bridget Hanley too. She was my first exposure to “Auburn” hair and I wanted auburn hair sooooooo bad! After I grew up, I dyed my hair auburn for years, though I probably wouldn’t have remembered it was because of Bridget Hanley then.

Yep, and according to [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Sherman), he’s now a San Bernardino County deputy sheriff.

He was a cutie for sure. [Cute and nice,](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsMONykezJM) a great combination, even if he didn’t have the greatest voice or material.

Not much of a fan but my very first big girl job was working in the publicity dept. of ABC in 1968-69. Of all the depts. to be working in at that time, publicity was the coolest. A lot of the stars from the TV shows came into the office. Bobby Sherman was one of them. The show he was on back then was “Here Come the Brides”.

Yes, when I was 13. I **liked** Bobby but I **loved** David Cassidy. My friends and I would spend way too much time pouring over Tiger Beat and Sixteen magazine articles about them and arguing about which one was cuter, but for me, it was David all the way.

I did have Bobby’s “Hey Little Woman” single, though. Even then I knew it was a crappy song–why, it didn’t hold a candle to the Partridge Family’s “I Think I Love You.”

This is funny, I also went to iTunes and listened to a Bobby Sherman song recently, after some of us were talking about the records we used to cut out from the back of a cereal box. And I thought the same thing: what a mediocre voice. Like the hired singer at a state Junior Miss pageant.

Nice hair, tho.

I remember him as being pleasant, but no David Cassidy.

If I had any leanings regarding this teen idol stuff, it was in regard to the Partridge Family. And no, not because I had the hots for Susan Dey.

Actually, I had the hots for Shirley Jones…

Boy couldn’t sing his way out of a wet, brown paper bag. But Bridget Hanley? She’s why I watched the show.

I remember him, but I didn’t think much of him. Too wholesome, he had big-white-teeth, struck me as someone my mother would have called “a doll”. Yeah, a giant Ken doll. And his head was way too big for his body, all that big stiff sprayed hair! Nothing against him, but the difference between Mr. Teeth and foxy David Cassidy was day and night.
