Okay, I have an obscure one - foodie related; [Ming Tsai.](http://www.ming.com/) I used to watch his show all the time and picture myself sitting down with him to taste his dishes. 😉 ---

Strange. Based on previous SDMB discussions, I though [Bailey Quarters](http://www.geocities.com/johnnyt84047/jan-smithers-ows-1.html) would surely have been mentioned by now. ---

I join the group of CSI Vegas hottie worshipers. Especially George Eads. When he calls someone “m’aam”, I melt. When he gets a little cranky at Eckley or Grissom, I love it. All those guys are hot. William Petersen - mmmmm. Even little Eric whatshisname has grown into a fine looking man. That just has to be one of the best looking casts of players on TV. The women are hot, too. That one lady who occasionally comes on to reconstruct a face so they can ID a body - yikes, she and Grissom need to just DO IT right now. Sexual tension to the max. ---

Believe it or not, there were times I thought how it would be to bounce bedsprings with Ellenor Frutt. THAT would be a ride. More innocent crushes of my youth: the obvious Mary Ann Summers, marooned in the South Pacific. And of course Honey West… when she’d be tied up somewhere by the bad guys… oh, my! ---

Oh geez. I had a thing for older men (well, still do, actually): I was madly in love with: (I can’t believe I’m going to admit this) Bob Crane from Hogan’s Heroes. Almanzo from Little House on the Prairie. The Professor from Gilligan’s Island. I was a weird kid. Not much has changed. ---

[Daljit Dhaliwal](http://zapatopi.net/daljit/)? I can’t read her name without thinking of David Letterman’s singing it to the tune of _Feliz Navidad_. **OtakuLoki** : Sounds as if the show you’re thinking of is [_The Voyage of the Mimi_](http://www.tv.com/the-voyage-of-the-mimi/show/23906/summary.html&full_summary=1). ---

Gil Gerard was man-perfect. I also had the hotties for Wonder Woman’s co-star, Steve Trevor, played by Lyle Waggoner. Ooh, la la! ---

All of these mentions of actors on Joss Whedon’s shows and I’m the first to mention Christina Hendricks (aka Saffron from Firefly)? Huh. I’ll be in my bunk… ---

I recently realized that this year marks the 30th anniversary of my crush on [Alan Alda](http://usuarios.lycos.es/quierocine/alanalda/alda_alan.jpg). Other major ones: [Mark Harmon](http://imagecache2.allposters.com/IMAGES/MMPH/259777.jpg) [Stephen Collins](http://www.7th-heaven.awp.waw.pl/foto/eric/eric01.jpg) [Miguel Ferrer](http://crossingjordanfan78.tripod.com/Photos/MiguelFerr_Ausse_545645_400.jpg) There was a time when I wanted to marry [Bill Maher](http://www.metroactive.com/papers/cruz/04.06.05/gifs/maher-0514.jpg), but I snapped out of it. My very first childhood T.V. crush was on Richard Long of Nanny and the Professor. ---

Does Mickey Dolenz (especially with the 'fro) count?, if so, also add Mike Nesmith and Peter Tork. but not Davey Jones, he was too pretty, too unattainable [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tv-crushes/328245.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tv-crushes/328245.md?page=6)
