Who were your big TV crushes from your youth?

I used to watch little house on the prairie reruns when I was really young and I always liked Mary (was that the older daughter’s name?).

Wonder Woman herself, Lynda Carter. Absolutely the first celebrity crush I can remember. Yikes. I still get all tingly inside thinking about a couple of those episodes.

She’s 52 years old and still looks hot.

Hmmm. PRNYouth, I don’t think those are current pictures of Lynda Carter. I saw her on VH1’s I Love the 70’s and she didn’t look that good. Well, she still looked good, but not as good as those pictures you linked to.

Nice link, PRNYouth. I’m glad she pointed that out.

Here’s a link for those who don’t know Glynis Barber.

Who can forget that 80’s Dykecon “Jo Polnyczech (sp)” Nancy McKeon from Facts of Life?
Valerie Bertinelli, of course
Lindsay Wagner
Shaun Cassidy (well he was a little effeminate with the feathered hair and all)
Davey Jones
Kristy McNichol
And dare I say it…I was veeeeeery young…Ernie from Bert and Ernie on Sesame Street:p

Woo Hoo!! I, too, worshipped at the altar of URL=http://www.geocities.com/valentinesc/main.html]Joe Hardy!

Sorry - got a little too excited there :o

Oh, well, if you’re talking about the Ur-Crush – Mr. Greenjeans, from “Captain Kangaroo.”

Sara Gilbert as Darlene Connor… yet another reason that 24 rocks.

Christina Ricci as Wednesday Addams. I thought she was hot before anyone else did, dammit!

Jonathon Brandis from SeaQuest DSV.

Lynda Carter
Mary Ann
Marie Osmond (she was just so damn cute on that variety show!)

I also had a huge crush on the girl from that Pepsi “Choice of the new generation” commercial from the 80’s. Where they’re at a school dance and the kid finally works up the nerve to ask her to dance? Damn! I was totally smitten! I never did find out who the actress was.

In no particular order:

Movies:

Broke Shields (Blue lagoon – I would have killed to be that guy she did the film with.)

T.V. :

Wilma Dearing (From the 70’s version on Buck Rogers)

Wonder Woman (Linda sombody)

Farrah (OMG) Faucett

Kristy McNichol

Daisy Duke

Mary Anne (From Gilighans Island)

Diana Troi ( From TNG - even now – YIKES)

( I think I need some time alone now).

Hell, I was crushing on Darwin too.

Diana Rigg…

As Emma Peel…

On The Avengers…

In Leather

<drool drool>

Micky Dolenz - he was so cute and funny and talented!! Even tho he’s now a balding, middle-aged, former Monkee, I’d still like to meet him.

Judy Carne, Chelsea Brown, Jo Ann Worley, and Ruth Buzzi. Goldie Hawn, too, but the dumb blonde act got a little exasperating even for a 12-year-old boy.

I had a huge crush on Skippy, from “Family Ties”. I also thought Kirk Cameron was a babe, and Luke from Star Wars.

Sheesh. How could I forget Diana Rigg from the Avengers. Good choice Wartime. I add her to my list too.

Ah, yes…Lynda Carter. Sigh.

Valerie Bertinelli as she got a little older was just…hot.

And I wouldn’t have minded a dish of Mary Ann with some fresh Ginger on top.

:smiley:

When I was about 8, while all my friends had posters of Duran Duran and Wham on their walls - I had posters of George Peppard as Hannibal in The A Team. I think it was the leering grin and the cigar chomped in mouth that did it for me!
