Staci Keanan (of My Two Dads & Step By Step)  
About half the family on “Just the Ten of Us” (in case you’re wondering, [this half](http://timstvshowcase.com/justthetenofus1.jpg)).

Barbara Feldon & Diana Rigg were definitely in the running as well.  
**Bricker** , you might want to clarify. I was Googling to try and see what she used to look like and noticed the [top results](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ann+marie&btnG=Search).

I am not in any trying to speak for **Bricker** , but when said Ann Marie, considering that era, I never thought he was speaking of that girl, but rather [**That Girl**.](http://www.thatgirltv.com/)

When I was six or seven I had a tremendous crush on [Adric.](http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/oohum/images/companion-adric.jpg) I’m lead to understand that much like Wesley Crusher (who I later thought was cute) most people considered Adric insufferable. I thought he was darling. I still have a major thing for nerdy boys with bad hair.

Subsequently I horrified my parents by crushing on Michael J. Fox as Alex P. Keaton. Adulating a Reagan supporter was just not done in my family. But he was cute. And I still have a major thing for preppy boys with bad hair.

Oh, and I desperately wanted to BE Jason, from Battle of the Planets and rescue Princess from peril at every opportunity. Need I add that I still have a thing for anime boys with bad hair?

Rocket Robin Hood must have been the worst cartoon ever made, but I would watch it every week anyway, in hopes that Maid Marian would be in that episode. Badly animated miniskirted hotness!

You can’t have her, she’s mine. Except, you know, removed from cartoon time so that she has become an adult along with me.

Let’s see, who else…

[Lisa](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Ruddy) and [Moose](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_McGlade) from You Can’t Do That On Television.

Some guys went for [Minmei](http://www.midnightanimation.com/gallery/robotech/unspacy/character/minmei.html) (dumb and fickle) from Robotech. I much preferred [Lisa](http://www.geocities.com/robotechlisa/lisahayespics.html) (intelligent and commanding), [Miriya](http://www.robotech.com/store/viewproduct.php?id=143) (crazy bad girl), or [Rook](http://www.answers.com/topic/rook-bartley) (bad ass tomboy).

Hmm… Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Mariette Larkin in _The Darling Buds Of May_ must be at the top of my list.

Followed distantly by Kelly (Tiffani-Amber Thiessen aparently) from _Saved By The Bell_

And there was always Kylie.

My last childhood crush was probably Cybill Shepherd in _Moonlighting_. That was some powerful lusting let me tell you…

Hmm…

I actually liked watching Three’s a Crowd, for the female lead. Even then, though - I knew the rest of the show stunk on toast. (I know, I know - but I had to say something so that my anime crushes wouldn’t look so pathetic. 😉 )

Agreed, here, 100%. Of course I also liked [Nova](http://www.geocities.com/Area51/7391/Nova2.gif) [Satori](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_Satori) (bad ass hard ass girl with really, really cheesy name)

What can I say, tastefully green hair really does something for me.

My crushes were… eclectic.

Age appropriate crush: [Jason Bateman](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/df/JasonBateman1987.jpg/220px-JasonBateman1987.jpg). Turned out good, [that](http://images.eonline.com/eol_images/Profiles/20060925/244.bateman.jason.092506.jpg) one did. It counts even if I’m [still](http://images.businessweek.com/ss/06/10/video/image/jason_bateman_of_the_jake_effect.jpg) crushing on him, right?

Wildly \*inappropriate \* crush: [James Garner](http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000BF0C8E.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V57504832_.jpg). Was I the only ten year old in the world rushing home from school to catch reruns of The Rockford Files? Perhaps.

My first 2 crushes were:

Bo Duke, especially in the first season when his hair was REALLY blonde.

Ricky Schroder on Silver Spoons. Interestingly, I thought Jason Bateman was such a little turd on that show and I didn’t like him. Now, I find him superhot and Ricky…not so much.
