The guy who does the voice for Bear in the Bear in the Big Blue House just warms me up. He does some other voices as well that I cannot remember at this moment. Also, the voice of the Dad in Dexter’s Labratory I love too. ---

> [@Rick](#): > > The best [legs](http://www.marvelfamily.com/images/tv-movies/IsisTV/stills/Isis010.jpg) ever in a children’s program. :eek: I try to come up with a witty response to that, but all I can think of is: “I’ll be in my bunk.” Lessee… I thought Darlene from Mickey Mouse Club was cute, even though I was concious of the fact that she was some many times older than I was. Also, I was a much bigger fan of Sailor Moon than is healthy for anyone. I think this was when I lived in Japan, and couldn’t even understand what they were saying. (I watched DragonBall Z in the same way, I don’t think I suffered much for it 😃 ) The Pink Ranger was cute when I was 11, and the Pink Ranger is cute when I’m 21. 😃 And I mean the original Pink Ranger, not any of the long line of replacement Pink Rangers. Though Kat, the one from Australia, had a nice accent, even if she did opertunistically snipe in on Tommy (The most badass Power Ranger ever, the Green Ranger) the moment he was single again. Gee, I didn’t even realize I was a shipper back then :smack: At least I didn’t write fanfics. ---

> [@Anaamika](#): > > Speed Racer! That was it. The main character in there. I remember having the hots for his girlfriend Trixie. I wanted to _be_ Racer X, the older, broad-shouldered loner in the superhero type outfit, but I wanted to have Trixie for a girlfriend. ---

Pui-Fan Lee is kinda hot when not in Tellytubbies costume. But she’d have to get in line behind Princess Mira Nova, Buzz Lightyear’s Tangean sidekick. ---

And I forgot to mention, Electra Woman and Dyna-girl were my first inkling that there was something _interesting_ about females. I even remember the moment. A villian used a cheap video effect to “Stretch” our heroes. It was the sound of the two of them moaning that lit the fuse. ---

When I was in high school, I used to come home, turn on the TV and wait for the show I wanted to watch to come on. The show that was ending was a locally produced afternoon kiddy show. The station’s call letters were KTRK, and the show had a gal dressed up in a black cat costume whose name was Kitirik. She was hot beyond belief. At least to my 15 year old libido. 😃 ---

And then there was [Gloria Winters](http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://greenshade.com/gloria.gif&imgrefurl=http://greenshade.com/penny.html&h=325&w=254&sz=79&tbnid=hKDmLesrBkeMwM:&tbnh=114&tbnw=89&hl=en&start=18&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dgloria%2Bwinters%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3Dlang_en%26safe%3Doff) on the old _Sky King._ His “niece.” Yeah, right.
