I saw June Lockhart in a TV show last week. It was a rerun of Las Vegas (original aired in 2004). I recognized her, but man–she definitely looks 95. Shirley has aged well. ---

> [@terentii](#): > > Shirley Jones I never really appreciated until I saw her recently in reruns of _ **The Partridge Family** _ . She definitely stacked up (so to speak) to Susan Dey!

In HS a guy did the famous Farah Fawcett poster in chalk on a chalkboard. Really great copy and the teacher left it up until school ended in June. Lots of guys had that poster but I did not anyone who looks very good at 95 probably had so many facelifts her next one will give her a goatee ---

My favorite episode is “The Undergraduate,” where Shirley and Susan are dressed in hot pants. [https://c4.staticflickr.com/4/3249/2620327814\_a874dcf893\_z.jpg?zz=1](https://c4.staticflickr.com/4/3249/2620327814_a874dcf893_z.jpg?zz=1) “Mrs Robinson,” indeed! 😍 ---

> [@Guest-starring\_Id](#): > > Victor Buono. I don’t swing that way, but he was probably my favorite actor as a kid. Thanks to him, I caught on to _Batman_ being a comedy show before most kids my age. I wasn’t surprised to learn that a good percentage of his lines as King Tut were ad libbed. ---

I would have liked Peggy Lipton a lot more if her acting hadn’t been so bad. I could never get over the way she delivered lines like “He’s desperate. He might do anything.” 🥺 The only actress I can think of who ever came close to Peggy in sheer woodenness is Emily “Oh, wait!” Proctor on _ **CSI: Miami** _. I just can’t get the bad taste out of my mouth. 🤮 ---

Oh! yeah…I was too young to figure out what was going on, but it was probably a crush. I must have been about 6, 7, 8. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-childhood-tv-crushes/921649.md?page=8)
