Well, I’m straight as straight can be and my first crush was also Kristy McNichol. (No offense jayjay. Just thought it was an odd coincidence) Also Mary Tyler Moore in The Dick van Dyke Show. Oh my! I thought Ginger was really hot when I was a kid. I recently saw a rerun, and now I’d take Mary Ann anyday (it also occurred to that this was a really stupid show. I was absolutely hooked as a kid though. I new every episode word for word) ---

“The Price is Right” models. Came on everyday, baby! And if you were lucky, the grand prize winners at the end had to bid on a boat or a vacation, because then one of the models was guranteed to be stuffing her rack into a bikini. ---

**Toni Tenille** - _Shwiiing_ Quite the hottie. No wonder The Captain never spoke; he was dumb-struck! [obvious] Marsha, Marsha, Marsha![/obvoius] ---

Well, I had feelings for the Brady girls I didn’t quite understand. I did understand my feelings about the younger sisters on 8 is Enough. Especially the one with long brown hair and the really cute blonde. ---

I can remember being so turned on by Wonder Woman, especially the episodes where the bad guys trained a gorilla to attack her by wrestling with her all over the floor. Now that I think of it, that very likely started all the bondage fantasies. Couldn’t have been more than 7 or 8 at the time. Fantasy Island was another one. No specific individuals, but great stuff ---

First female crush-Lindsey Wagner of “The Bionic Woman”. She put the human in super-human. First male crush-Tom Baker of “Doctor Who”. Have you ever seen him grin? 🙂 ---

Another vote for **Diana Rigg** on The Avengers. The jumpsuits, the face, the bod, the hair, the ultracool, the accent. I wanted a chance to piss her off just so she’d kick my ass. ---

Constable Benton Fraser on Due South. Smart, sweet, and oh so sexy. I would watch the show every week and giggle like the little girl I was. I still get a big smile on my face when I’m flipping through the channels and see reruns of it. ---

**Captain Kirk** (I’m so ashamed!) **Heath Barkley** on the Big Valley **James West** on The Wild, Wild West (which I watched partly because of those Tight, Tight pants — and **Greg Boyington** of Baa, Baa Black Sheep looked pretty nice in those jump suits, too.) I wanted to look like Kristy MacNichol or Lindsay Wagner. ---

Zoggie - good taste. I gotta agree with Ethilrist - Susan Dey. Close second would be Karen Valentine from Room 222. ---

**Joan Collins** , back in the 70s when she was doing bit roles no TV programs. And **Nancy Kovack** , also in her various bit roles. Those were the days. . . [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-first-televisual-sweetharts/63750.md?page=1)
