Bailey Quarters from WKRP. She started the geek chic in my mind and has never let go. ---

Barbara Eden (Jeannie) Catherine Bach (Daisy Dukes) Barbara Feldon (99) Jacklyn Smith (Charlie’s Angels, but damned if I can remember the name) Isis In later years, when still young and still not getting anywhere near enough sex, add: Holly Robinson (21 Jump Street) Those are the repeating characters I most remember. I’m sure there were others. ---

Agent 99 from _Get Smart_ Bailey from _WKRP in Cincinnati_ Julie Kotter from _Welcome Back, Kotter_ (oh how I miss the braless days of '70’s television…) Daisy Duke, but she was merely eye candy. I knew she and I would never have the meaningful relationship that I could have with the others. Sabrina Duncan from _Charlie’s Angels_. You can have your Farrah and your Jaclyn Smith- I loved me some Kate Jackson. Yum. ETA: Doesn’t ‘oversexed’ mean you have too much sex, and ‘undersexed’ mean you aren’t having enough? Back in the day as a wee prepubescent and early teen, I was definitely not having enough. I mean, any. ---

We didn’t have a TV in the house so I didn’t start watching regularly until college. But the few times I did see it, I thought John Schneider on Dukes of Hazzard was cute. ---

[QUOTE=bouv] I was thinking the same thing about the chick (at least in the later years when she developed. And I mean developed! Seriously, did you see her? Curves out the wazoo! My dream girl!

[QUOTE=RandMcnally] The Pink Ranger from The Power Rangers. I was in the first grade and I had a crush on her. [/QUOTE] Dude, I was 40 and had a crush on her. Then my kids dragged me to the Power Rangers movie and I saw that warrior princess and I forgot clean about the Pink Ranger. When I was a wee sprat I thought [Mary Tyler Moore](http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/D/htmlD/dickvandyke/dickvandykeIMAGE/dickvandyke.jpg) was the most beautiful woman on TV. A local station is showing the old “Dick Van Dyke Show” and y’know what? I was right! WOW! :eek: ---

Mine have been mentioned, but to sum up… **Erin Grey** from Buck Rogers and Silver Spoons **Valerie Bertinelli** from One Day at a Time And not mentioned… **Kristy McNichol** in The Pirate Movie and Little Darlings (not technically TV, but I watched them a zillion times in the early HBO days when they’d play these movies to death). ---

David Addison on _Moonlighting_. I got into the show when it was in reruns on Lifetime when I was 13. I still sort of think of Bruce Willis as my 9th grade boyfriend. 🙂 ---
